Heritage Stone Restoration
Maintaining the historical integrity of heritage structures requires careful balance between technical expertise and appreciation for traditional building methods. As stone quarries diminish or original materials become unavailable through time sourcing suitable replacements requires detailed attention.
Our experienced stonemasons have access to an extensive selection of stones which enables us to pick the ideal material to realise your vision. And our state of the art technology means we can use digital mapping systems and 3D scanning technologies to accurately reproduce intricate designs and patterns.
The restoration of Fawkner House in South Yarra stands out as one of our leading heritage projects. During this project we needed a sharp attention to detail to maintain the building’s original allure while perfectly integrating modern stone construction methods.
At Claremont Residence in Malvern our skilled artisans worked meticulously to recreate the original design’s detailed stone and marble decorations. The preservation of the space stands as a testament to the skill and attention given to combining historical elegance with opulent stone finishes.
The completion of these projects proves how essential it is to merge current construction methods with extensive knowledge of traditional building practices. Because we love the longevity and authenticity of our cherished heritage structures as much as you do.
Stone Wall Restoration
The restoration process doesn’t just fix the damage; it also rejuvenates the stone. At MSM stone you can trust our stone wall restoration process so your wall will it stands the test of time and continue to tell its story.
Step OneThe first step involves a thorough inspection to assess the damage and determine the cause (ie erosion, weathering, cracks or biological growth). Identifying the root issue allows for a tailored repair strategy.
Step Two The stone wall must be cleaned to remove dirt, grime and any organic growth that may have accumulated over time. Specialised cleaning methods, such as pressure washing or using stone-safe cleaning agents, ensure the surface is ready for restoration without causing further damage.
Step Three Damaged or crumbling mortar joints are carefully removed and replaced with fresh, period-appropriate mortar. The new mortar is colour-matched to ensure it blends seamlessly with the original stone, preserving the wall’s appearance.
Step Four
Cracks and chips are filled using stone-specific epoxy or resin, which is mixed to match the stone’s colour and texture. This is done carefully to ensure that the repair is both functional and visually consistent with the original wall.
Step Five
In cases of more significant damage, entire sections of the wall may need to be rebuilt. This process involves sourcing matching stones and laying them in a way that mirrors the original construction.
Step Six
Once repairs are complete the stone surface is sealed to protect it from future wear, moisture and stains. The sealer is chosen based on the stone type and the environment to ensure long-lasting protection while enhancing the stone’s natural beauty.

Cleaning Stone Walls
You need to pay close attention to both dirt removal and moisture control when you maintain stone wall cleanliness and structural integrity.
For effective cleaning of dirt and grime from natural stone walls use a mild stone cleaner that matches the specific stone type of your walls including options for marble, granite or limestone. Do not use strong chemicals as they could harm the stone’s natural surface appearance.
Stubborn dirt can be effectively removed using a soft-bristle brush which will clean the surface without causing damage. Biocide cleaners effectively remove moss, algae or mould from stone surfaces to maintain their cleanliness and safety.
Proper installation of air vents enables air circulation to maintain dry conditions which prevents mold growth. By verifying that sub-floor ventilation systems provide enough airflow beneath the stone wall you can prevent moisture entrapment.
Heritage building stone walls require stringent adherence to moisture management best practices. The vulnerability of aged stone to humidity and water exposure requires consistent ventilation and moisture barriers to protect its structural integrity and aesthetic appearance.
Crack Repairs
Before we repair a crack, the team at MSM Stone work to identify where the crack is coming from. Cracks resulting from thermal expansion tend to appear along mortar lines whereas root-induced cracks usually show up at the bottom or corners of a wall.
Selecting appropriate materials is essential when carrying out crack repairs. Stone epoxy functions as a high-strength adhesive specifically developed to join stone materials together which makes it perfect for repairing most cracks.
Colour-matched resin creates seamless repairs by matching the stone’s natural hue. The material fills the crack before being smoothed to blend seamlessly with the adjacent area.
Specialised repair methods must be used when dealing with stone types like bluestone along with sandstone and granite. When dealing with bluestone the dense material requires epoxy and stone grout to repair its larger cracks.
