Services
Stone Carving
Our specialist stone carvers combine traditional hand tools with modern machinery to create intricate architectural details. We work with Bath stone, Portland stone, and other natural materials to produce bespoke features for historic and contemporary buildings. Each craftsman brings unique artistic interpretation to transform raw blocks into ornamental pieces while maintaining structural integrity.
Stone Cleaning
We employ JOS vortex systems, DOFF steam cleaning, and traditional Nebulous spray methods for stone surface restoration. Our approach considers material type, structural condition, and environmental impact. Services include graffiti removal, paint stripping, and protective coating application while preserving original textures and preventing water ingress.

We work with Conservation Officers to implement lime mortar repairs, stone replacement, and partial reconstructions. Our team handles listed buildings and protected structures, balancing preservation with necessary modernisations for structural longevity.
