SOLID STONEMASONRY WORK - WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
I’ve completed dozens of stonemasonry projects in East Lothian, Edinburgh and the surrounding areas. The majority of my customers come through word of mouth, and I take great pride in my craft and attention to detail.
You can read more about a handful of my projects below to get an idea of my skill set and commitment to exceptional service and standards.
1700s brick chimney restoration
A customer wanted to restore this beautiful 1700s brick chimney. This job involved discussing their plans and desired outcome, matching the replacement bricks perfectly, and applying the appropriate lime mortar for repointing all beds and joints.
Old cement pointing raked back for new lime pointing
The gable of this house was having issues with breathing and dampness caused by cement. It was all raked out and pointed in the correct lime mortar, allowing the stonework to breathe again with no dampness and a fresh new look.
Rebuilding a garden wall
The owners of this lovely rural property in East Lothian wanted their garden wall repaired and restored quickly and easily. They were keen to use traditional methods, and we communicated clearly throughout to deliver a result they were delighted with.
Lithomex repair
The customer and I discussed their best options for repairing the exterior of their home. The main choices were either replacing the existing stones or shaving back some of the stone and using Lithomex to suit previous quoin stones. They chose the latter and the results speak for themselves.
Giving this garden a great new look
A tree branch had knocked over the old garden wall at this property, and several roots were growing through the foundation of the wall. After assessing the damage, the customer was happy for me to remove the fallen branch and roots so we could lay a new concrete foundation. This ensured there was a solid base in place before erecting the new garden wall, thereby preventing potential problems in the future.
Creating a relaxing patio area
A customer had some leftover stone after a home renovation and wanted to use it in their garden. After discussing their options, they revised the initial plan for a new circular patio area in favour of a larger square design that used more of the stone and resulted in minimal waste.
