Our Stonework Services
Stone Walls (New Builds & Repairs)
From garden boundaries to structural walls, we build strong, accurately levelled stone walls using a mix that suits the job and weather conditions. We also repair collapsed or failing walls with stronger foundations and proper bonding.
Lime Repointing
We specialise in lime mortar repointing, using NHL or hydrated lime mixes depending on the property’s age and weather conditions. Lime allows older buildings to breathe, preventing moisture damage and protecting the stone.
Heritage & Restoration Work
Our team has extensive experience working on older buildings, farmhouses and cottages across North Yorkshire. We use traditional methods to preserve the original character while strengthening the structure for decades to come.
Fireplaces & Indoor Stonework
We create beautiful hand-built fireplaces, hearths and feature walls using natural stone. Each project is tailored to match the character of your home.
Retaining Walls
We build strong, reinforced retaining walls designed to support soil, manage levels and blend naturally into gardens and outdoor areas.

From steps and raised beds to stone planters and seating areas, we build functional and attractive garden features that enhance outdoor spaces.
Random Rubble Stonework

FAQ
Do you work with both old and new stone?
Yes — we work on modern builds, traditional cottages, farmhouses and heritage properties. We match the correct stone, mortar and method for each project to ensure strength and visual consistency.
Do you use lime mortar or cement?
We use both, depending on the age of the building and the type of stone. Older buildings often require lime mortar to allow the walls to breathe, while modern properties typically use cement-based mixes.
Can you repair collapsed or failing stone walls?
Absolutely. We rebuild walls with solid foundations, proper bonding and drainage so they last for decades. Many of our rebuilt walls are stronger than the originals.

We work across Scarborough, Whitby, Filey, Pickering, Malton, Driffield, Bridlington, Beverley and the wider North Yorkshire and East Riding areas.
Do you offer heritage stonework?
Yes — we regularly work on older and listed buildings using traditional methods and appropriate lime mixes. Our work preserves the historic character while improving structural integrity
