Services
Stone Building
We specialise in constructing new stone structures ranging from garden walls to complete buildings. Our expertise includes creating driveways, patios, gate pillars, and ornamental features using natural stone. Each project utilises traditional masonry techniques combined with modern project management, ensuring durability and aesthetic harmony with Edinburgh's architectural character. Our team can work as main contractors or subcontractors, delivering everything from small installations to large-scale developments.
Chimney Repairs
Our certified stonemasons provide comprehensive chimney repair services, including rebuilding damaged stacks, repointing with lime mortar, and installing bird-proofing solutions. We address structural issues caused by weathering or neglect, using materials that match original construction. All repairs come with up to a 25-year guarantee, ensuring long-lasting solutions that maintain both functionality and visual appeal for Edinburgh's historic properties.
Stone Repairs
We restore damaged stone using specialist Lithomex mortar that matches original materials' properties. Our process involves careful preparation, layering repairs, and texturing to blend seamlessly with existing masonry. This technique preserves historic buildings while preventing future damage from freeze-thaw cycles. Services cover everything from minor cracks to complete stone replacements in Edinburgh's period properties.
Lime Pointing
We apply traditional lime mortar pointing to protect stone structures while maintaining breathability. This technique prevents water damage by allowing moisture escape, unlike cement-based alternatives. Our skilled team matches existing mortar colours and textures precisely, ensuring repairs complement Edinburgh's historic buildings while extending their lifespan through appropriate material selection.
Stone Cleaning
Our gentle cleaning methods remove carbon deposits, algae, and paint without damaging delicate sandstone. Using low-pressure steam, chemical poultices, and controlled media blasting, we restore Edinburgh's historic buildings safely. Our stonemasons assess each surface's needs to determine optimal cleaning intensity, preserving architectural integrity while revealing original stone beauty beneath years of urban grime.
