Craftsmanship & Stonework

Our master stonemasons specialise in both local heritage masonry and precision contemporary stonework. We work extensively with native Devon granite, local limestone, slate, and traditional flint, using traditional hydraulic lime mortars for historical period properties and listed barn conversions. For modern architectural builds, we deliver precision thin-joint cladding, dry-stone walling, honed stone coping, and seamless transitions between structural exterior masonry and internal feature stone walls. 

We engineer heavy-duty structural retaining walls designed to manage Devon’s natural topography while enhancing site aesthetics. Every retaining structure combines reinforced sub-base engineering, integrated structural drainage, and load-bearing concrete cores faced with hand-dressed local stone or traditional dry-stone walling techniques. This ensures long-term structural integrity against soil pressure and water run-off without compromising on authentic visual character. 

Yes. Seamless structural and aesthetic matching is a core strength of our masonry team. When constructing extensions, rebuilding structural boundary walls, or executing property alterations, we carefully source regional stone from local Devon quarries to match grain, color, and density. Our masons replicate historic joint profiles, mortar color, and traditional dressing styles so that new architectural stonework looks like an organic continuation of the original building.
