Services
Stone Repair
Specialist restoration of damaged natural stone structures using traditional techniques. We address weather erosion and mortar-related decay through precise stone replacement and re-pointing. Our methods ensure structural integrity while maintaining historical authenticity, particularly for Edinburgh's sandstone buildings.
Natural Lime Pointing
Application of flexible, breathable lime mortars for pointing stonework. This traditional method prevents water retention, reduces stone decay, and preserves structural movement. Particularly effective for Edinburgh's weather-exposed properties, enhancing longevity compared to cement alternatives.
Chimney Repair
Comprehensive restoration of stone chimneys affected by weathering or incorrect mortar usage. We rebuild deteriorated sections using compatible materials, ensuring proper ventilation and structural stability while maintaining original architectural character in Edinburgh properties.
Driveway Construction
Creation of durable driveways using reclaimed Edinburgh cobblestones and granite setts. Our construction methods combine traditional stonework with modern drainage solutions, providing aesthetically pleasing surfaces that withstand heavy usage across Lothians properties.
Landscaping
Specialist landscaping incorporating natural stone features. With two decades of experience, we design and construct walls, pathways, and decorative elements that complement existing architecture, using locally sourced materials for Scottish Borders and Edinburgh properties.
