Drainage is care. Stone gutters and lips push water away from carvings and joints.

💧 Details

  • Lips: Overhangs reduce staining.
  • Joints: Lime mortars and lead flashings.
  • Inspection: Seasonal checks.

🔧 Maintenance Map

  • Check: Joints, slopes, blockages.
  • Clean: Debris and growth.
  • Repair: Mortar repointing.
