Stonemasons covering Mullingar and the surrounding lakes country. Repointing, restoration and new stone walls, done the traditional way with lime mortar.
L&A Building Experts are Navan-based stonemasons working throughout Mullingar, the county town of Westmeath. It's a town with a good stock of older limestone buildings alongside newer estates that have grown up around it, so the work ranges from careful repointing of period stone to fresh walls and entrances. We've 20+ years at it and we're fully insured.
The country around Mullingar, out towards Lough Owel and Lough Ennell, is dotted with stone walls, farm buildings and period houses. Damp and weather take their toll, and a lot of older stonework was repointed badly with hard cement over the years. We put that right with lime mortar, which lets the wall breathe and protects the stone instead of cracking it.
From repointing a town-house gable to building a new boundary wall or a stone entrance on an estate, we'll come out, look at it honestly, and tell you what it needs.

Kimmage Hardware · Google reviewOlder Mullingar limestone buildings were built to breathe. Hard cement traps moisture in the wall, which pushes damp into the stone and causes it to crack and spall. Lime mortar lets the wall release moisture naturally, so it protects the stone.
Yes. Mullingar has plenty of period limestone, and we carry out heritage and conservation restoration using traditional methods and lime mortar, matching the original work as closely as we can.
We can. You don't have to do a whole building. Plenty of jobs around Mullingar are a single weathered gable or a stretch of wall that's let damp in.
