17.01.2022 Restoration methods spotlight: Salt attack and rising damp are two separate but interrelated processes. Both must be understood if damage is to be minimised and if corrective measures are to be successful. At K&S Restorations, we believe in carrying out a full inspection of the building to determine the source of the damp issues and rectify it prior to making a decision on whether further action is required in the form of chemical injection or the installation of a new damp proof course (DPC). https://tinyurl.com/y43yw2rc

09.01.2022 A beautiful property and a great job to showcase our masonry skills, our client wanted ornate hand carved doorways and intricate cornicing on an extension to their property. The work was in keeping with the age and style of the original section of the building and carved using local donnybrook sandstone from block. We then installed the stone creating a beautiful entrance to the building using traditional stonemasonry techniques. https://www.ksrestorations.com.au/project/peppermint-grove/

04.01.2022 Restoration methods spotlight: Tuckpointing & Repointing are integral to the longevity of any historically significant masonry structure. Pointing is the process of cutting out fretting mortar joints or in some cases joints which have been repointed over the years with the wrong materials i.e. cement based mortar and then repointing with a suitable lime based mortar.
