• Exposure to wind, rain, and frost along the escarpment

WHY HERITAGE REPOINTING MATTERS ON THE COTSWOLD EDGE
Using modern cement mortars or aggressive tools on Cotswold stone can cause:
• Cracking
• Stone decay
• Moisture trapping
• Internal damp
• Long‑term structural damage
Our lime‑based approach protects your home and preserves its historic character exactly as conservation officers expect.
