Client: Private Residential
Project: Stone Repairs and Ancillary Works
Role: Survey, Design, Specifcation & Project Managment
Gate & Bar undertook the initial pre-purchase appraisal of this cottage in Coxwold North Yorkshire. Following the identification of required stonework repairs Gate & Bar have been appointed to specify stone repairs, removal of inappropriate cementitious materials and repairs to chimney stacks to a cottage in a unique village conservation setting. Whilst not a listed building, a sensitive approach is to be adopted to minimise the use of new material so as to not alter the characteristics of the house. New stone and lime mortars are to be selected following requesting samples and testing to ensure new materials match the original as closely as possible in terms of geology, colour and mix ratio. To ensure best practice on site, works are to be tendered to a contractor with experience in the heritage sector and who are competent in the repair of older and historic structures.
