Our Stone Colour Matching Service

Stone colour matching is the process by which we identify and match any renovations to the exterior of a stone property. A small sample of the stone exterior is sent to our laboratory for analysis to discover its perfect match. In combination with the experienced eye of our skilled stonemasons, this method allows for unparalleled precision, essential for both detailed repairs of stone architectural elements and repainting stone properties.

The result is the complete rejuvenation of your stone facade, with new stonework that integrates seamlessly with the old, conserving the aesthetic integrity and historical value of your property.

Frequently asked questions

How does stone colour matching work?

Stone colour matching begins with an expert analysis of the existing stone on your property to understand its unique characteristics. A small sample of the stone is taken and sent to our laboratory, where specialists use advanced colour-matching technology to find an exact match for both the colour and texture. This precise process ensures that any new stone or mortar added during restoration projects blends seamlessly with the original materials, maintaining the aesthetic and historical integrity of the building's exterior. For more details, please read our complete guide on stone colour matching.

Why might my property need stone colour matching?

Your property might need stone colour matching to address the wear caused by environmental conditions and ageing. All buildings are subject to the water cycle, and factors like UV exposure, moisture, pollution and biological growth can deteriorate the appearance and structural integrity of exterior stone over time, particularly in regions prone to harsh weather or coastal erosion.

Although it is possible to restore stonework without careful consideration of colour, stone colour matching offers restorations that preserve the harmony between old and new sections so that repairs are not visually conspicuous.

In short, stone colour matching helps to preserve the original appearance and historical integrity of your property for future generations.

What types of stone can be matched using this service?

Our stone colour matching service is versatile and can be applied to a wide variety of stone types, including common building stones like sandstone, limestone, slate, granite, marble and flint. Additionally, we can handle regional stones or stone features in specific locations, like roofing stone, ensuring that each is matched precisely regardless of its unique properties and original quarry source. Our aim is always to effectively restore and preserve the aesthetic consistency of any stone structure.

Is stone colour matching noticeable after repairs?

When done correctly, stone colour matching should not be noticeable after repairs. The aim is to ensure that new stone or mortar blends indistinguishably with the existing structure. Our skilled masons use precise colour and texture matching techniques to achieve this seamless integration, preserving the natural appearance and integrity of your building. The repairs will enhance the structure without drawing attention to the work done, leaving them effectively invisible to visitors.

Is stone colour matching suitable for heritage buildings?

Yes, stone colour matching is highly suitable for heritage buildings. In fact, it is especially useful when seeking to maintain the historical accuracy and aesthetic integrity of older stone structures. The process involves meticulously matching the new stone or mortar to the existing building materials, ensuring that repairs do not alter the building's original character. As such, stone colour matching is particularly valuable in conservation efforts, where preserving the authenticity and appearance of heritage buildings is paramount.

What Our Google Reviews Say

Spectrum have provided us with roof repair and rope access services. A pleasure to work with. Very responsive over the phone and over email. We will recommend and use their services again in future.

Paul Hall

Extremely happy with the service I received from Spectrum Specialist team. We have carried out the works to redecorate nearly 300 balconies on our site in Bermondsey. The standard and the quality of the works was excellent. It has been nearly 2 years since the works were completed and still not having any issues in the works. I would highly recommend Spectrum team for all kind of works.

Mustakim Momin

I have been using Spectrum for the past 4 years and they are absolutely amazing, they are fast and reliable. Their professional expertise on matters is phenomenal and they are always wiling to help you.

Kiara Harmse

Spectrum recently undertook some roofing repairs to a block of flats, which included cleaning gutters, replacing slipped slates, masonry repairs and mending guttering. Although it was a small job focusing on a narrow range of skills, they were very professional and workmanlike, worked efficiently so complete the job in 3 days, had excellent communication and charged a competitive rate. Changes in scope, start date and costs were all negotiated sensibly, and after completion issued with a report showing detailed photos of the repairs, most of which were not visible from ground level. This is helpful to document the condition they left the site in, and is also helpful survey information for planning future phases. Would happily use Elijah and his team again.

M Loosley

Huge thank you to Andreia for her assistance and endless patience. The standard of communication was excellent every step of the way.

Melissa Loedolff

If you're looking for a reliable and trusted window-cleaner company, look no further! Their work is always impeccable, the support team is incredibly kind, it's a flexible company and they respond immediately.

Anna Novak

I’ve been using Spectrum since 2019 for various building-related works, and they’ve consistently delivered to a very high standard. This review, however, is specifically for the recent DOFF cleaning of the brickwork. The transformation was genuinely impressive. They brought the entrance back to life the brickwork now looks fresh, clean and almost new again. Professional, efficient and clearly experienced in what they do

Fred Alebiosu

A great company comprising a great team led by a great guy.

Rich Delaney

Brilliant service and extremely friendly staff.
