    Historic Fireplace Renovation

    20 October 2022

    In this Historic Fireplace Renovation Project that R-V Stonemasons recently completed it will show the condition of the 1670 fireplace was in before we took on this project. This stunning project consisted of raking out all the old mortar & rebuilding where necessary before being sandblasted & then lime pointed with R-V Stonemasons traditional lime mix, the end result speaks volumes & feel like we have restored the fireplaces future for many years to come so enjoy the project pics & story.
