Matt did a very good job with the repair to our stone fireplace. He recommended what we needed and clearly takes pride in his work. It now looks as good as new!

Work History
I am a City and Guilds qualified stonemason with 20 years experience in the trade. I have worked for several highly-regarded companies and on the restoration of many prestigious buildings. I also have worked on many new-build developments, most recently the Cabot Circus development in Bristol.
I mainly work on private contracts, mostly restoration of stonework to domestic properties, working on many period buildings in Clifton (Bristol) and the Bath area. I have also undertaken many landscape gardening projects, often working with a landscape designer as well as designing and building my own projects. I also am available for subcontracting.
