Scottish Borders Stonemason were asked to carry out chimney repairs & gable works to Blythbank House in the Scottish Borders. and many other buildings across the area
Both chimneys were coated in cement pointing & render that traps moisture which though the action of frost and the concentration of salts accelerates the decay of the stone.
We sourced local Swinton stone to match existing building in colour and detail. Our highly skilled and experienced stonemasons in traditional stone restoration & conservation cut new stone and dressed the stone to the required size and shape requested in the Scottish Borders.

Edinburgh Stonemasons recently installed a high quality hardwood and glass panelled doorway in my C-listed house The design of the door and the installation of it – it is an outer doorway – were first rate, and we particularly appreciated the trouble Edinburgh Stonemasons went to use and install sympathetic wood and stone throughout – this involved the sometimes unforeseen cutting of basalt blocks and obtaining at some trouble appropriate materials to match the existing house. I would highly recommend the firm.
Hope that helps. And good luck!

Repairing traditional buildings with modern or non-traditional materials will accelerate stone decay, this is why you need a stonemasons who has good track record for repairing and maintaining the area
Many buildings in the borders area have been pointed in very hard cement over years which can accelerate the decay of the masonry. Our team are fully qualified stonemasons, who have extensive knowledge and understand the best materials to use. We ensure that we match the original material and style of pointing.
