New Build Pontardawe

This contemporary new-build property in Pontardawe features carefully selected local-style stonework, laid and pointed by hand to create a durable and attractive exterior envelope. The stonework has been designed to sit comfortably within the surrounding streetscape while giving the home a distinctive, premium finish.

Stonework and materials

• Traditional-faced stone laid to tight, consistent joints for a clean, modern look.
• Mortar chosen to balance strength, breathability and colour tone so the walls weather naturally over time.
• Attention to coursing, corner work and opening details to avoid straight joints and cold bridges, improving both appearance and performance.

Build quality and detailing

• All external elevations built to a high standard of plumb, level and line to satisfy both building control and architect requirements.
• Careful detailing around windows, doors and eaves to integrate stonework with modern insulation, lintels and damp-proofing systems.
• Robust foundations and backing structures to ensure the stonework performs as a structural and protective outer skin for decades to come.
