Bit of a weird one for me, but were currently on a job in Leeds, which is partly a listed building. The stairs require repairing, but we can't overlay them, they have to stay as is, just made safe. Any ideas what to use ? Normally I would just use ardurapid, but these need to be shaped to match,and the repair will have to be strong and lasting
No bodging those Anything will just fall out as soon as they walked on It’s a full repair sceed and cover job
Can't do it, listed part of the building, repair only. I've not been asked to do it yet, but I know that's going to happen
Last time I saw stone steps repaired they cut squares out and repaired it but don’t know how. Just a45 it and get your sculpting knife out lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This is a shot in the dark lol But what if you mask everything off bar the area needing repaired Degrease that part and prime Then make a mold of a complete step (how is another question lol) Put the mold over the broken step and seal it Drill a hole through the top of the mold in the repair area and pump epoxy in it Leave it to set and hope for the best Not sure what to do to the inside of the mold to stop the expoxy sticking to it maybe line with an old Aldi carrier bag or something I’m thinking out loud here Btw It reminded me of when I saw a plaster/decor guy repair some old Art Deco fresco coving once He repaired a half broken Cherub face in a similar way with plaster of Paris Just putting it out there
Drill a shed load of little steel rods through it inside that crack, provide a good base for the cement to sit on and just use the thoughest concrete you can find and then use your artistic skills. Or maybe a steel plate inserted into there somehow Seriously though can't you just battern it off and pour it in? Just do it when no one is there
It's the old library/baths on York road. Been empty for 30 years. Really quirky inside due to certain elements being listed. Will get some pictures
You need some restoration mortar which is Portland mix with a lime binder, speak to a stone mason near by if there is one
If the job comes my way, I will give you a call. Everything we do has a 12 month defect period, and I dont fancy returning every few weeks, to repair my repair !
I think drill a couple of stainless steel screws in and use an epoxy , mask off around and overfill , don't do loads and you should be able to catch it when it turns and shape it .
