| Hopthorne Cottage Barby Northants |
This cottage has suffered from structural
movement over recent years. The end elevation shows the cracks and
tell tales. The main contractor has taken the stonework down and
installed a concrete foundation to help counter the movement problems.
Our involvement was to rebuild the solid stone walls, which are 22"
thick! The walls are built to blend in with the existing remainder
of the property. The bond of the existing stonework is a mix of
random rubble and rough coursed, this arrangement is being matched
using a 3.5 moderately hydraulic lime mortar
