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.

Alec did a great job and all at short notice, of repairing our external garage wall, where the previous owner had carelessly knocked bricks out to squeeze in a mini fridge! He arrived on time and at our convenience for both quotation and the job. We’re very pleased with the quality of the finished job, and left everything clean and tidy. He was competitively priced also. Will be requesting him to quote for future work. Cheers. Tom.

I am a sole trader who has spent the last five years subcontracting on sites carrying out brickwork on new build homes I started out as an apprentice, along the way gaining my NVQ level one and two in bricklaying. Whilst on site I learnt a number of other trades such as roofing, ground works, and landscaping and now I am at the stage where I am wanting to earn extra money by taking on jobs of my own.

I come from a family of stonemasons based in north Bristol. I've worked on landmarks such as Clifton Suspension Bridge & Bristol Museum, and regularly do conservation work at grade 1 listed buildings, such as Berkeley Castle. I'm currently available only for small jobs during evenings and weekends, but I work efficiently and my rates are very competitive. I don't tend to take pictures on my phone, but some of my work can be found on the family biz website: Hancock Stone Ltd. :-)

Stonemasonry- 20 Dec 2021
Gavin has repointed my stone-built cottage using lime mortar. The cottage was in much need of a facelift and the old pointing had been repeatedly patched over the years, sometimes with inappropriate materials. Gavin's work has completely transformed the cottage; it looks massively better than before. Gavin worked thoroughly and reliably over a period of just over a fortnight. He showed great professionalism and attention to detail and it was wonderful to see the new appearance of the cottage. The lime mortar was applied in just the right way so that it accentuated the stonework while addressing any deficiencies in it. I am very pleased with the outcome.

Piotr and his team have been working so hard on our kitchen diner conversion,it was difficult to keep up with the pace of it. His team work long day and some Saturdays, so the project was completed within schedule. Piotr is a man with a can do attitude and excellent work ethic, all problems uncovered have been sorted promptly and efficiently within an agreed price. We were kept informed day-by-day of the progress and involved in decisions at every stage. Great result, very pleased with the finish. Martin the tiler did a stunning job as did the plasterers/decorators.
