Stone Restoration

Our stone restoration service returns historic and modern stonework to its original condition using traditional techniques. We specialise in repairing weathered surfaces, cracks, and structural damage while maintaining architectural integrity. Clients benefit from our expertise with listed buildings and period properties across Scotland.

Lime Mortar Pointing

Traditional lime mortar pointing prevents structural decay by allowing buildings to breathe. This technique reduces damp issues and matches original construction methods for historical accuracy. We apply this specialist skill to churches, monuments, and residential properties throughout Fife.

Stone Cleaning

Using DOFF superheated steam systems, we remove algae, dirt, and paint without damaging stone surfaces. This method safely restores both domestic and commercial properties while preserving material integrity. Our sister company REVIVE provides additional specialist cleaning solutions.

Chimney Rebuilding

Our chimney rebuilding service addresses structural damage and weathering using authentic stonemasonry techniques. We reconstruct chimney stacks to original specifications while ensuring modern safety standards. This includes repairs for historic properties requiring period-accurate materials.

Headstone Repairs

Specialist headstone repairs and erections are carried out with respect and precision. We restore weathered memorials using traditional methods while maintaining historical accuracy. All work complies with cemetery regulations and preservation guidelines across Scotland.

Absolutely grade A1 service - nothing to fault! Work was carried out professionally at a very good price, within agreed timescales, communication and progress updates provided at every stage.
Hes completed a number of jobs (large and small) on our Edwardian sandstone manse). A master craftsman in every respect! (Pity there are not more like Harry in other trades!)

Harry cleaned and repointed my sandstone building in Leven, what a transformation. Harry kept me up to date with changes to schedules ( delays due to weather) and discussed areas of concerns and solution- in a non technical way. Quality craftsmanship on our own door step, you cannot get better than that. Well done on your latest award. Stay safe- Malcolm

I initially invested a total of $105,000 over a period of 5 weeks. My bonus/profit was $830,000, every attempt to make withdrawal failed and I was instructed to make another deposit of $25,000 before I can make withdrawals which I did. till now, I'm still unable to make withdrawals and all attempts to contact brokers have failed. This is very… pathetic and I felt so bad losing my investment.

I did a due diligence test before investing with them but guess what I ended up getting burned. This is to create awareness, not everybody can be as lucky as I was. I'm saying this because I was able

Thanks Harry for an excellent piece of work pointing our Victorian sandstone manse. Your knowledge of everything to do with stone is outstanding and you always kept us informed about progress and when the weather meant you were not able to be with us. Your price was competitive and the quality of the finished work was of the highest standard. We would certainly ask you to quote again for any more work we needed done.Many thanks.
