FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our external specialist works, heritage masonry, and premium restoration services in Tetbury, Gloucestershire and the surrounding Cotswolds.

What is the importance of using lime mortar for Cotswold stone restoration?

+

Most historic properties in Tetbury and the surrounding villages were built using lime-based mortars. Unlike modern cement, lime mortar is breathable and flexible. This allows moisture to escape from the stone and accommodates the natural movement of the building. Using cement on old stone often leads to "spalling," where the face of the stone breaks away because trapped moisture freezes and expands. We always use site-mixed or pre-mixed lime mortars that match the original colour and texture of your masonry.

Do I need planning permission for a bespoke outbuilding in the AONB?

+

This depends on the size, height, and location of the proposed building. While some structures fall under "Permitted Development," the rules are often tighter within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or for listed buildings. We always recommend checking with the local planning authority first. As part of our service, we can work with your architect to ensure any new external structures are designed to meet local requirements and blend perfectly with the existing landscape.

How often should a manor house undergo external maintenance?

+

High-end properties require a proactive maintenance schedule to avoid costly repairs. We suggest a professional inspection of the masonry, roofline, and rainwater goods every three to five years. Addressing minor issues like failing pointing or blocked stone gutters early can prevent major structural problems or water ingress later. If you have recently purchased a heritage property, an initial external audit is a wise first step.
