No job too big!
A recent local job straightening out 115 square metres of blue lias flagstones in this handsome barn.
The apparatus in the centre of the image is a Stone Magnet, making easy work of lifting the larger stones.

We are laying a reclaimed flagstone floor this week near Bath.
A total of 25 square metres of finest Blue lias, supplied by @GlastoReclaim.

The key to removing bitumen successfully is to concentrate on one small area at a time.
Once you have removed to top, sticky layer, let the black residue underneath cure - the colder the room the better.

We use some of the stone dust from each floor when pointing the joints to achieve a perfectly colour toned match.
Piping it in is a piece of cake!

This flagstone floor can start to breathe again
Contaminates like bitumen clog the pours of the stone, drawing moisture up to the surface. If that moisture can't "breathe" it will spread sideways, delamination the surface as it goes, then up into the walls

Bitumen is one of the hardest contaminates to remove.
As you can see from this image, having the right equipment and experience make a huge difference.
This floor can now breathe again...

Back to the Future...
A before and after of Langport Town Clock.
Thank you to Langport Life and all involved in making it happen - a great day for one of the smallest Towns in England!

The finishing touch...
Using hogs hair impregnated polishing pads, the cured bees wax is polished to a natural lustre before handing back to the client.

Lime pointing is a piece of cake.
Our blended mix is toned with the dust from each restoration, making it a perfect colour match.

Looking forward to seeing the finished article. – at Langport, England
We are delighted to confirm plans for the town clock to return to its rightful spot above the town hall early next month! Check out all the details, including a sneak preview of the restored clock face on our website: langport.life/council-news/4… #Langport #WhereItsTo #ItsAboutTime
By far the best replica flagstones on the market in my opinion!
If you require a flat floor with the look and feel of the real thing, then this is a very good and affordable option.
See the showroom at @castlerec and see if you can tell the difference... – at Langport, England
