Services

Repair, restoration and new construction in flint.

All of our work is in knapped flint and hot lime mortar, with the brick and stone that goes with it.

Repair & restoration

Flint walls fail in familiar ways — mortar weathers out, copings lift, sections bulge or collapse. Repaired in the right materials, a wall goes on doing its job.

Flint wall repair
Making good damaged or failed sections of an existing flint wall, matching the original flint, coursing and mortar.
Flint wall restoration
Bringing a tired or neglected wall back to sound condition along its length, rather than patching one failure at a time.
Lime repointing
Raking out weathered or unsuitable mortar and repointing in lime — the mortar flint walls were built with.
Coping repairs
Repairing the brick, stone or flint coping that keeps the weather out of the top of a wall.
Coping rebedding
Lifting loose or displaced copings and rebedding them in lime mortar.
Insurance-related repairs
Repair work arising from an insurance claim, such as vehicle impact or storm damage.

New walls

New construction

New flint walls built the traditional way — knapped flint, laid to course in hot lime mortar, with brick or stone dressings where the wall turns a corner, meets a pier or frames an opening.

With the flint

Brickwork & stonework

Flint walls are rarely flint alone. Brick quoins, piers, arches and copings, and stone caps and dressings, are part of the same wall — and part of the same job.

Brickwork
Quoins, piers, arches, copings and bands in brick, built or repaired alongside the flint.
Stonework
Stone caps, dressings and repairs where a wall uses stone with its flint.
