Specialist assessment and repair of dry stone, mortared and lime mortar walls damaged by vehicles, impact, weather and accidents.
Mark Doyle Walling has over 25 years of experience in traditional stonework. We assess and repair dry stone walls, mortared stone walls, lime mortar construction and heritage stonework. We can provide photographs, measurements, an assessment of the damage and a professional repair estimate for the property owner, insurer or loss adjuster.
A vehicle impact may disturb foundations and adjoining walling beyond the section that has fallen. We inspect the wider damage before specifying the repair.
Damaged sections can be dismantled to stable construction and rebuilt using traditional methods, reusing sound original stone where practical.
We repair mortared stonework and use compatible traditional lime materials where appropriate for the existing construction.
We consider stone size, coursing, copings and finish so a repair sits sympathetically alongside the original wall.
Work may include vehicle or farm machinery impact, boundary and retaining walls, gate posts and pillars, weather damage, dismantling unsafe sections, and sourcing replacement stone.
Rebuilding only the visibly collapsed stones can leave movement or cracking in the adjoining wall. Where needed, damaged walling is carefully dismantled back to sound construction before rebuilding.
Suitable existing stone is salvaged. We can source replacement or reclaimed stone when original material is missing or unsuitable for reuse.
Share photographs, the location and a brief explanation of what happened.
We review the information and advise whether a site inspection is needed.
Where required, we measure and inspect the wall and adjoining construction.
We set out the proposed repair and estimated costs for review.
Once the repair is authorised, we arrange the work.
We rebuild using suitable stone and construction methods.
For listed or otherwise protected stonework, the owner or their advisers should obtain any required permission before work begins.
