Our Specialist Stone & Brickwork Repair Service
Traditional stone and brick structures form an important part of the UK's waterways and civil engineering network. Over time, exposure to water, weather and natural movement can lead to deterioration, affecting both the appearance and structural integrity of these assets.
The Rothen Group specialises in the repair, restoration and conservation of stone and brick structures, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern construction techniques. Working across waterways, heritage sites and civil engineering projects, we deliver sympathetic repairs that preserve the character of historic structures while ensuring they remain safe, stable and fit for purpose.
Heritage Repairs Carried Out by Experienced Specialists
Our experienced teams undertake a wide range of masonry repair and restoration projects, from minor repairs through to major structural refurbishment. We regularly work on listed structures, ensuring all repairs are completed using appropriate materials and techniques that respect the original construction and any heritage requirements.
Our services include brick and stone repointing, structural repairs to bridges, culverts and retaining walls, and masonry repairs behind dams and along waterways. We also carry out associated groundworks and landscaping, including block paving, reinstatement works and site improvements to leave projects completed to a high standard.
Whether repairing a historic canal bridge, rebuilding a damaged retaining wall or restoring heritage brickwork around a culvert or lock structure, every project is carefully planned to provide a durable solution while maintaining the integrity and appearance of the original asset.

FEATURED CASE STUDY
Habitat Creation Coney Meadows, Droitwich
Coney Meadows is part of a nationwide project to restore the UK’s wetlands. Since the 17th century, large areas of reedbeds have been stripped and converted into agricultural land, massively reducing the number of habitats available for wetland animals.
FEATURED CASE STUDY
Changing the Shape of the River Derwent, Derby
Following the storm seasons of 2023 & 2024, the EA set out to review its impact on the UK’s waterways. The River Derwent in Derby was flagged after a sonar scan of its navigation identified a scour hole – a direct result of heavy rainfall pushing sediment downstream.
