  • Hello hive mind...
    Refurbishing sandstone window cills? Can an amateur do a decent enough job?

  • Probably , depending on what you need doing.

    I've used Namurian Rock to harden crumbly stone (after digging out the worst of it).

    I had planned to rebuild with Conserv Repair Mortar (using a box frame), but ended up getting someone in, as I needed the sills ground down to create a runoff.

    The repair person actually ended up using a lime mortar mix, with cement added - I think that was a bad move, but time will tell.

  • Thanks. It looks kinda simple really, they're not too bad, just pitted and a bit crumbly on the surface so I figured I could just fill with a product and smooth over with a trowel to make it decent but far from perfect. Once painted it'll probably look a lot better.
