Property Maintenance

Keeping Your Property in Excellent Condition All Year Round

At JD Cornhill Stonework, we understand that maintaining your property is just as important as building or restoring it. Whether you own a modern home, a historic cottage, or a commercial building, regular property maintenance is essential to protect your investment, ensure safety, and preserve the beauty and character of your space.

With over 30 years of experience working on stonework, limework, restoration work, and new builds across Somerset, East Devon, and Dorset, our skilled craftsmen deliver reliable maintenance services you can trust.

Our Property Maintenance Services

We offer a comprehensive range of property maintenance solutions designed to keep your building in top condition, prevent costly repairs, and extend its lifespan. Here’s what our maintenance work includes:

Routine Inspections

Regular inspections are the cornerstone of effective maintenance. We assess the condition of your property’s stonework, lime finishes, structural elements, and roofing to identify any early signs of wear, damage, or deterioration.

This proactive approach allows us to recommend timely repairs before minor issues escalate into larger, more expensive problems.


Stonework Repairs and Repointing

Over time, weather and environmental factors can erode stonework and mortar joints. Our team specialises in:

  • Repointing with traditional lime mortars that match the original construction.
  • Repairing or replacing damaged or loose stones.
  • Cleaning stone surfaces to restore their natural appearance.

These services help maintain both the structural integrity and the visual appeal of your property.

Limework Maintenance

Historic buildings often rely on breathable lime plasters and renders to prevent damp and ensure the walls remain healthy. As experts in limework, we:

  • Repair and patch damaged lime renders and plasters.
  • Reapply limewash finishes as needed.
  • Advise on suitable products and methods for maintaining breathability and performance.

This attention to detail preserves the traditional character of your building while supporting its long-term durability.


Structural Repairs

Property maintenance isn’t just cosmetic—it’s about safety. We carry out structural maintenance and repairs to address issues such as:

  • Cracks in walls or foundations.
  • Roof damage and leaks.
  • Deterioration of load-bearing elements.

Our expertise ensures that any repairs blend seamlessly into the existing building fabric, especially when working with heritage properties.

General Maintenance and Upkeep

In addition to specialist stone and lime services, we can support you with a wide range of general property maintenance, including:

  • Gutter clearing and roof inspections.
  • Damp prevention and moisture management.
  • Exterior cleaning and minor repairs.

Whether you require regular maintenance contracts or one-off repairs, our team delivers a professional, friendly service tailored to your needs.

Testimonial

Jamie is very knowledgeable, experienced and skilful with working on historic properties. He cares a lot about the heritage, integrity and professionalism of his work, only using methods and materials which are true to the age and nature of the building. He works with great care and sensitivity. He is able to recommend other niche specialists to work in parallel with his work (traditional paint-makers etc.). We really enjoy having Jamie around - he is fun and respectful of the home he is working on.
