Do stonemasons carry out site surveys before quoting?

Stonemasons may prefer to inspect the site before providing a final quote. A survey could help them identify potential issues such as access, preparation work, or hidden structural problems. Through MyBuilder, you can easily connect with a stonemason near you to discuss if a site survey is needed.

Can existing stonework be repaired, or does it always need replacing?

Not all damaged stone has to be replaced. Depending on the extent of the problem, stonemasons may use repair methods such as pinning, grouting or patching. A site visit will usually confirm whether repair or replacement is the better option.

Can stonemasons install fireplaces or chimneys?

Yes, stonemasons are generally able to create and install custom stone fireplaces and chimneys. They can work with various materials to create a fireplace that fits your style and meets safety standards. Be sure to ask if they have experience working with your stone of choice.

Can I find heritage or conservation specialists on MyBuilder?

If your project involves a listed building or conservation area, you can specify this when posting your job. Some stonemasons on MyBuilder have specialist heritage training and experience with traditional restoration techniques.

How long does a stonemasonry project take?

The duration of a stonemasonry project depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple repairs or smaller tasks might take a few hours or days, while larger projects, such as building stone walls or creating custom stonework, may take several weeks. A stonemason near you will be able to provide a more accurate timeline once they understand the specifics of your project.

Does stonework need ongoing maintenance?

Stonework is highly durable, but some maintenance may be required over time. This can include cleaning, repointing mortar joints, or applying protective sealants, depending on the stone type and exposure to weather. A stonemason can advise what’s best for your property.

Do stonemasons create headstones?

Yes, stonemasons do create headstones. They are skilled in crafting bespoke memorials, headstones, and gravestones, often working with materials such as granite, marble, and yorkstone. Stonemasons often handle the entire process from design to installation. If you need a custom headstone crafted, post a job on MyBuilder and available stone masons can express interest.

Stonemasonry- 2 Dec 2020
Fire damaged stonework above an electricity meter box and around a kitchen window. An awkward job but DSR were able to rise to the challenge. They turned up when they said they would so the job could interface with the window installers. They were also confident and competent enough to work in the vicinity of the meter box without the need to require disconnection which maintained our electricity supply. The quality of the finished stonework was very good and the lads were pleasant on site. All round good job and very satisfied, would easily recommend.

Restoration & Refurbishment- 28 Mar 2019
Paul and Chris did a fantastic job with redoing my study. It needed plastering, redoing a wall, tiling the floor, fitting a new radiator, few electrical sockets and changing the doors. They were very quick in responding to calls and texts/emails, adapted to some new challenges which in an old house is quite common. They had to redo a wall when they realised that there may be a live wire inside and they did a fantastic job with minimal extra costs. They completed the work at the time frame I wanted it and I am extremely pleased with the quality of work. I strongly recommend them for their readiness, quality of work and ability to adapt to new challenges.

Constructing a concrete base underneath a pre-existing 1100 litre plastic oil tank by tying it to the wall first. Rhys built a superb slate wall around the underside of the tank to hide the concrete, breeze blocks and lintels. It looks fantastic. Rhys is a charming, polite, reliable and strong young man. His work is of a very high standard and very neat. He gets on with the job and clearly enjoys using his considerable skills. I would employ him again and have no hesitation in recommending him to other potential customers.

Kate came and quoted on a wall repair job we had at one of our properties. She is polite and knowledgable, coming up with a cheaper solution than what we initially thought necessary. Having won the contract, Kate completed the job efficiently and in a timely manner. I would definitely use Kate again and would recommend her to others.

Andi turned up on time, was professional and courteous. He enlarged the cut-out in the granite surface to the agreed size, the resulting cut being neat and well executed. I was expecting some dust from the cut - in fact Andi managed to keep the dust down to virtually zero! All in all a nice bloke, who knows what he is doing who gets the job done!

Can't speak highly enough of Chris Lawrence. His work is top quality and genuinely second to none. We've hired other stonemasons in the past that we thought were good but Chris's work outshines them. He is very professional, provides clear easy to understand quotes with no hidden charges. He gets on with the job and keeps you posted how it's going. Highly recommended.
