Masonry & conservation, done properly
Traditional stonemasonry and conservation for period, listed and traditionally-built property across Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire. Every job is matched to the building and worked the traditional way — breathable lime, matched stone, and an honest scope.
Lime Pointing & Repointing
Raking out failed or cementitious joints and repointing in breathable lime mortar suited to historic and traditionally-built stone.
What’s involved
Stone Conservation & Repair
Repair and conservation of weathered or damaged stonework, retaining as much original fabric as possible through piecing-in, indenting and consolidation.
What’s involved
Stone Cleaning
Gentle, fabric-appropriate cleaning and paint removal on stone elevations and features, matched to the substrate and its condition.
What’s involved
Dry Stone Walling
Building and rebuilding dry stone walls and boundary features using traditional, mortar-free technique.

New Build Masonry
Natural stone masonry for new build and extension projects, from coursed walling through to detailing.

Stone Flooring & Paving
Stone floors, patios, paths and steps — laid, relaid and restored, in materials chosen to suit the building and to weather well.
What’s involved
Masonry Fixing & Structural Repair
Cracked, bulging or failing masonry stabilised — helical ties, crack stitching, and replacing the corroded iron that so often caused the damage in the first place.

Repair and restoration of stone window and door surrounds — cills, jambs, mullions, heads and lintels — repaired in place wherever the stone can be saved.

A clear scope
You get a written scope that sets out exactly what’s included and what isn’t, so there are no surprises at the end.
- 03
Done properly
Traditional method, the right materials, and a standard we stand behind. We don’t cut corners to get off site.
- 04
