Northumbrian Pointing
Based in Hexham, in the heart of Northumberland, we are a family-run lime mortar pointing company dedicated to the careful preservation of stone buildings.
We believe that traditional properties deserve traditional skills. With a deep respect for historic craftsmanship, we specialise in lime mortar pointing that allows period buildings to breathe, move, and age as they were intended. Our work is guided by an understanding that sympathetic restoration is not just about appearance — it’s about protecting the structural integrity and character of each property for generations to come.
As a family business, we take pride in offering a personal, honest, and dependable service. Every project, whether a listed cottage, farmhouse, townhouse, or heritage structure, is approached with care, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for conservation.
A Family Business
Based in the heart of Hexham, this heritage lime pointing business is built on family values, craftsmanship, and a genuine passion for traditional building methods.
Ashley has worked in the building trade since leaving school, building his knowledge and hands-on experience over many years. He trained in bricklaying and dry stone walling at agricultural college, developing a strong appreciation for traditional materials and time-honoured techniques. For Ashley, heritage lime pointing is about protecting the character, strength, and history of the region’s buildings.
Steph manages the day-to-day running of the business. Having successfully run a number of businesses herself, she brings organisation, professionalism, and a strong focus on customer service. From the initial enquiry through to project completion, Steph ensures that every job is handled efficiently, with clear communication and high standards throughout.
Ashley’s dad is also a key part of the team. With years of experience as a bricklayer and landscaper, he contributes a wealth of practical knowledge and skill. His background in traditional masonry and landscaping ensures each project benefits from experienced workmanship and careful attention to detail.
As a family-run business, they take great pride in their work and reputation. Based in Hexham, serving Northumberland and the wider North East area, they are committed to preserving stone properties using breathable lime mortars and traditional methods that respect the integrity of older buildings.
Choosing them means choosing a local family business that values quality craftsmanship, honest service, and the preservation of the traditional buildings that make the area so special.
