Wall building

We build and rebuild natural stone walls using appropriate masonry techniques and carefully selected materials.

This can include garden walls, boundary walls, retaining features and the reconstruction of collapsed or unstable traditional stonework.

The key benefits are strength and stability. A properly built wall relies on much more than simply stacking stone.

Correct foundations, bonding, stone placement, through stones, hearting and mortar all contribute to stability.

Natural stone is an extremely durable building material.

When constructed and maintained correctly, stone walls can remain serviceable for generations.

Natural stone provides character that is difficult to reproduce with modern manufactured materials. Using it provides the following advantages:

It can complement older properties as well as create a high-quality feature in newer gardens and landscapes.

It uses natural materials

Stone and lime-based materials can provide an attractive, traditional and comparatively sustainable construction method.

It adds character and value

A well-built stone wall can become a major visual feature of a property rather than simply a boundary.

Where an old wall has collapsed, much of the original stone can often be cleaned and reused.

This helps retain the historic character of the wall while reconstructing it correctly. .
