The Importance of Stone Masonry Maintenance
Stone masonry is a traditional craft that has shaped London’s skyline for centuries. Each stone type requires tailored maintenance to preserve its natural beauty and structural integrity, from limestone and sandstone to granite and marble. Without regular cleaning and repairs, stone surfaces can accumulate dirt, develop cracks, and suffer erosion, leading to costly restorations or irreversible damage.
Pollution, biological growth (like algae and moss), and acid rain are common culprits that deteriorate masonry over time. Proper cleaning and repair not only enhance a building’s aesthetic appeal but also protect against structural weaknesses. Property owners safeguard their buildings for future generations by investing in routine maintenance while maintaining their market value.
