Heritage Brickwork and Stone Masonry
RBR’s experienced stone masons have successfully completed many landmark and historical projects throughout Ireland, Europe and the UK including repairs to Limestone, Sandstone, Marble, Granite, Terracotta and the masonry itself.
Due to the sensitive nature of the repairs on historic masonry structures, complex solutions are considered to minimise the intervention while reversing the effect of time. Where applicable, works are carried out in accordance with guide lines set down by Irish Georgian Society, English Heritage and Local Authority Conservation Departments.

Raking out & Repointing: Properly executed repointing of stone walls or buildings not only enhances the visual appeal of your structure but also protects it from the elements. Effective repointing can prevent water ingress, reduce the risk of structural damage, and prolong the life of your masonry.
Types of Repointing Projects We Undertake:
- Wall Repointing: We specialise in restoring both residential and commercial masonry walls, ensuring that your property remains structurally sound while enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
- Brick Facades: Our team is experienced in repointing brick facades, utilising appropriate materials to match the existing appearance while improving weather resistance.
- Stone Facades: Whether it’s a rustic stone cottage or a grand commercial building, we focus on maintaining the integrity of the stone while effectively sealing joints and preventing moisture penetration.
