Stone Wall Repair in Bourton-on-the-Water
Low-lying and built along the River Windrush, Bourton's walls deal with damp ground rather than exposure — a different problem needing a different repair.
Walling in and around Bourton-on-the-Water
The Windrush runs through the middle of the village under its low stone bridges, and the water table stays high across much of Bourton and out towards the Slaughters. Walls sitting in wet ground shift on their foundations, and rising damp attacks the bottom courses first.
Riverside and garden walls here often need the lower courses taken down and rebuilt on a properly drained foundation, not just repointing at the top. Where cement pointing has been applied in the past we rake it out and replace it with a breathable lime mortar so the stone can dry.
