Masonry

Stone by stone. Something lasting.

Masonry that belongs to its place. New work, careful repairs and traditional materials, brought together with a patient hand.

Walls & structures

Brick and stone construction with attention to bond, proportion and the building around it.

Repair & repointing

A considered approach to damaged masonry and mortar, informed by the existing material.

Landscape masonry

Walls, steps and garden structures that settle naturally into the ground.

Some things become more beautiful with time. Our job is to give them the right beginning.

1

Understand the material

We study the existing construction, condition and the character you want to retain.

2

Choose the right detail

Stone, brick and mortar are considered together, with samples where useful.

3

Build with patience

Careful setting out and a finish that respects both the material and the site.

Can new masonry sit comfortably beside old work?

We discuss the relationship between the two: a close material match, or a deliberate and sympathetic distinction.

Do you assess the mortar as well as the brick?

Yes. The mortar is part of the system, and compatibility matters when planning repairs.

We’ll use these details to respond to your enquiry.
