Additional Projects

Not every project requires a complete renovation. This collection brings together smaller masonry, repair and conservation works carried out on stone buildings and structures — from localised repairs and rebuilding to practical interventions where traditional materials and careful workmanship can make a significant difference.

Repairing a Stone Window Opening

A small but essential repair to a badly deteriorated stone window opening where the original lintel was no longer present. A new solid oak lintel was installed, the surrounding stonework rebuilt and repaired, and the interior reveals finished with lime plaster, leaving the opening structurally sound and ready for future use.

Creating an Aged Brick Façade

A decorative transformation of an existing wood-chip concrete building using reclaimed-style brick slips. Full bricks were cut into thin facing pieces, fixed to the façade and carefully integrated with the surrounding render to create the appearance of an older brick wall where sections of the original plaster have gradually worn away.

Repointing a Stone Stable Ramp

A small repair project on the entrance ramp of an old stone stable. The existing stonework was repointed with lime mortar, while the concrete buttress supporting the adjoining wall was finished with lime render, giving the structural addition a more appropriate appearance alongside the traditional stone masonry.

Where It All Began

These photographs document my first stone building renovation project, carried out together with my father many years ago. The work included repointing the old stone walls, rebuilding window openings and constructing new stone buttresses to support the structure.

The photographs may belong to another era — long before a camera in every pocket — but the project remains an important part of Manerium’s story. It was here that years of practical knowledge passed from father to son began to develop into the work we continue today.
