Masonry Carving & Letter Cutting

It is occasionally necessary to replace an element of a building when the integrity and function of a stone has been lost

This is often the case with the weathering elements of a building such as string courses, mullions and parapets. The introduction of new elements into an historic building is always carried out by our experienced masons with the utmost sensitivity to the surrounding weathered surfaces. Appropriate choice of stone and fixing method are of paramount importance to us, and a delicate compromise must often be achieved between function and aesthetics.
