Jobs from Edinburgh and East Lothian
Dunbar
Natural stone installed to infill a former window opening, now repurposed for an alternative use. Photograph taken at the end of pointing, prior to finishing with a beating brush.
North Berwick: Cracked Lintel
Cracked lintel structurally repaired using stainless steel dowels set in resin. Following stabilisation, Lithomex repair mortar was applied to reinstate the lintel and restore its appearance.
North Berwick: Damaged Wall
Following vehicle impact damage, the wall was carefully dismantled and rebuilt to its original form using the existing reclaimed stone.
Aberlady
Due to the existing stone being heavily worn, the client elected to proceed with the Lithomex repair method. The completed work achieved a strong visual improvement, and both the client and myself were pleased with the final result.
Longniddry
Lintel replacement carried out with careful consideration to match the existing stonework. Time was taken to source the correct lintel to ensure it blended seamlessly with the surrounding masonry, which was a key requirement for the client.
Haddington and surrounding areas: 1700s Brick Chimney Restoration
Restoration of a 1700s brick chimney, carried out using traditional methods and sympathetic materials to preserve its historic character while ensuring long-term structural integrity.
Haddington and surrounding areas: Natural Stone Pillar – Garage Opening
Natural stone pillar constructed to form a new garage door opening, carefully built to complement the existing structure and surrounding masonry.
Portobello
The existing random rubble wall required a full rebuild using the appropriate lime-based mortar. The previous structure had developed a significant lean into the neighbouring garden, rendering it structurally unsafe for both parties.
Bonnyrigg
The previous wall was displaced after being impacted by a fallen branch. A local tree surgeon removed the branch, following which the wall was carefully dismantled down to its base. It has since been fully rebuilt on a solid foundation to ensure structural integrity and long-term stability.
Dalkeith
The wall had developed a substantial lean and was considered structurally compromised. In excess of 20 metres were dismantled and fully rebuilt, ensuring the structure was reinstated plumb from foundation level through to the coping stones.
Moredun, Edinburgh
The client engaged us to undertake the full removal of invasive ivy growth from the wall, followed by comprehensive repointing works. The masonry was repointed to the highest achievable standard, restoring both the structural integrity and overall appearance of the wall.
Meadows, Edinburgh
Following a previous garden renovation carried out by another contractor, the client had a quantity of surplus natural stone remaining on site. They approached us with a request to repurpose the material into a bespoke stone planter. The completed planter integrates seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, and the finished result successfully maximises the use of the existing materials while enhancing the overall aesthetic of the garden.
Marchmont, Edinburgh
Surplus stone from a recent home renovation in the Marchmont area was retained on site and repurposed to construct a bespoke seating area within the client’s garden. The finished installation provides a practical feature while complementing the existing landscape and architectural character of the property.
