What We Do
Skilled Stone Masonry
Bath stone and natural stone masonry — repairs, carving and reinstatement for listed and period buildings.
Stonework is one of the crafts that defines older buildings in this part of the world — bath stone dressings, limestone mullions, flint and stone walls. We carry out stone repairs, carving and reinstatement, working with the existing stone so new work sits honestly alongside the old.
We work in bath stone and other natural stones, cutting and dressing blocks, splicing in repairs where the original has failed, and reinstating mouldings and details to match. Where a stone has decayed beyond repair, we replace it like for like.
Most of this work forms part of a listed building or period project, carried out alongside lime mortar and traditional methods. We work with your architect and, where needed, the conservation officer.
Frequently asked about skilled stone masonry
We work in bath stone and other natural stones used locally — limestone, flint and stone for walls, dressings and mullions. We match the existing stone where we are repairing or reinstating.
Yes. We source stone to match the existing where possible, and we cut, dress and finish it to match the original mouldings and surface.
Yes. Where original details are missing or have been removed, we can carve and reinstate mouldings, quoin stones and dressings to match the original.
No. We carry out stonework on period and unlisted buildings as well, wherever natural stone needs repairing, reinstating or matching.
Yes. Where the original can be saved we splice in repairs — cutting out the decayed area and piecing in matching stone — rather than replacing the whole block. Where a stone has failed beyond repair we replace it like for like.
Stonework is priced individually from the drawings and the extent of the repairs. We provide an itemised breakdown so you can see what is included.
