Kendal's limestone character is strong and consistent, so coursing and stone selection make the difference between new work that fits and new work that stands out.
Local focus
Working in and around Kendal
Limestone coursing
Following local coursing conventions and size distribution so new walling reads as part of the town rather than an import.
Stone-faced retaining
Structural retaining cores faced in local stone on the town's many sloping properties.
Lime pointing
Repointing traditional solid walls in lime so moisture leaves through the joint rather than the stone face.
Kendal — common questions
Yes. Retaining structures are a routine part of work on sloping sites, normally with structural engineering input where height or loading requires it, and can be faced in local stone.
