Marés stone maintenance in Menorca

Marés is Menorca's stone: warm, porous and heavily exposed to salt air, damp and sun. Over time it gets dirty, stained and loses its tone, and the joints suffer.

We check the condition of the stone and the joints and suggest what is needed: from a clean to joint repairs and a final protective treatment. Before starting we protect window frames, floors and garden.

Frequently asked questions about Marés maintenance

How often does marés need maintenance?

It depends on exposure and how close it is to the sea. It is best to check it every few years and act when stains or worn joints appear.

Can marés be cleaned without damaging it?

Yes, but the method must be chosen carefully: it is a soft, porous stone. We assess it during the visit before touching anything.

Does the colour of the stone change?

Cleaning brings back the natural tone of the stone. If you want to change its look, we can discuss it during the visit.
