Lime repointing & masonry repair
Elmstone Cottage
Somerset
A Grade II listed sandstone cottage whose joints had been sealed with cement in the 1970s, trapping moisture in the soft local stone.

St Mary's Churchyard Wall
Wiltshire
A twenty-metre section of rubble-stone boundary wall that had bellied and partially collapsed after a wet winter.
Masonry conservation
The Haymaker Barn
Herefordshire
A timber-framed threshing barn with sandstone plinth walls, reroofed and consolidated for continued agricultural use.
Cob & wattle and daub
