Newlands Stone & Build provides professional stone masonry in Weston-super-Mare for property repairs, new stonework, walls, alterations and restoration projects. With more than 20 years of experience in brick, block and stone work, we combine practical building knowledge with careful masonry work for homes and commercial properties across Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding area.
Stonework needs to do more than look right. It must be built or repaired in a way that suits the existing structure, the material and the conditions around it. We undertake a wide range of stone masonry projects, from repairing damaged walls and renewing defective joints to constructing new stone features and integrating masonry into larger building works.
Where new work meets an existing property, we aim to achieve a sympathetic finish by considering the size, character and appearance of the surrounding masonry. For older properties, this can be particularly important when previous repairs or unsuitable materials have changed the appearance or performance of the wall.
Cracked joints, loose sections, movement, failing copings and weathered masonry can all reduce the stability and appearance of a wall. We can assess the affected area and carry out practical repairs, whether the solution involves localised rebuilding, repointing, replacing failed units or reconstructing a section that is no longer sound.
Our previous work includes retaining-wall repairs, garden walls, older property masonry and projects where new stonework needed to blend with existing walls.
Mortar joints are a key part of masonry. When they become loose, cracked or badly weathered, water can penetrate more easily and individual stones can begin to lose support. Repointing removes failed material and renews the joint with a mortar appropriate to the wall and its construction.
Newlands Stone & Build has experience with lime pointing as well as general masonry repairs. On traditional properties, the choice of mortar and the way the joint is finished should be considered carefully rather than treated as a cosmetic patch.
Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding area include many older properties where repairs need to respect the original building. Our project experience includes conservation-area work, period properties, stone-built buildings and the replacement of deteriorated features using reconstituted stone.
We approach this type of work by first understanding what has failed, what can be retained and how the repair will sit alongside the existing masonry. The aim is a durable result that does not look unnecessarily new or out of place.
