Cost: stone façade repointing
Cost depends on scope, access and removal without damaging stone. Separate stone replacement, repairs, cleaning and new joints. A small heavily damaged area cannot be compared with a whole façade without quantities.
Editorial update on 18 September 2026
Compare actual treatment areas
Request a zone plan, measurement rules and joint quantities. Clarify assessment, trials and removal. Do not compare different scopes through area alone.
Separate joints, stone and cleaning
Record mortar, appearance, preparation and finishing. Separate stone replacement, moulding repair and cleaning. Define findings requiring a supplementary offer.
Include conservation arrangements
Check access, scaffolding, protection, waste and heritage oversight. Request references and handover photographs. Show confirmed grants separately.
