At CB Group, our expertise in masonry and stonework is rooted in years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of traditional building techniques. Flint walling and galleting, in particular, require a level of skill that only true master craftsmen possess. The intricate process of shaping and positioning each flint stone, combined with the careful placement of gallets – small shards of flint added into the mortar – demands both precision and patience. This method not only enhances the decorative appeal of your stonework but also adds significant durability, ensuring your walls stand the test of time.

Stone and flint wall restoration is an art form, requiring a delicate balance of preserving the original character while reinforcing the structure for modern use. We meticulously restore each wall, taking care to match the original materials and methods, so your property retains its historic charm while gaining the benefit of renewed strength.

Repointing is a crucial aspect of maintaining and restoring brick, stone, and flint walls. At CB Group, we offer a range of specialist repointing techniques tailored to the needs of your structure. Weather-struck pointing, for example, is designed to direct water away from the wall, helping to prevent moisture damage, while flush pointing is used for a more traditional, smooth finish that lies level with the brick or stone surface. Each type of pointing requires a specific skill set and an understanding of how it will impact both the appearance and durability of your wall. We take great care in selecting the appropriate technique and using the correct mortar mix to ensure that the repointing not only enhances the aesthetic of your wall but also strengthens it, providing protection against the elements and extending its lifespan for years to come.
