Testimonials
“I know the client, and ourselves have appreciated your attention to detail, clear communication and organisational efforts to achieve the project objectives within the programme timescales, while at the same time achieving exemplary standards of work on-site.”

Laidlaw Associates Building Surveying Ltd
“The A-listed façade of William Leiper’s design for the Academy and Town Halls, all that was left of a building that had suffered the ravages of two major fires and decades of neglect, posed every conservation challenge imaginable in bringing the structure back into use. The team from Conservation Masonry rose to the task. Adopting a cautious approach and demonstrating a wide range of skills, its appearance within the historic townscape of Dumbarton has been transformed.”
