MK18
Limestone preservation for the Great Ouse Valley.

The geology of MK18 is Oolitic Limestone. This stone is porous and 'breathes'. Sealing it with modern paints or cleaning it with acid causes catastrophic failure. Our stewardship here is strict: only steam, only pH-neutral biocides. We preserve the golden hue of Buckingham and Winslow’s heritage buildings by working with the stone, not against it.

As the rural anchor bordering MK19 and NN13, MK18 is the centre for Soft Washing and Heritage Cleaning, protecting the oldest building fabric in the region.
