Testimonials
"I have a stone built house and have been having the windows painted. I noticed that some of the grouting needed attention. Tom came round and assessed the job and rearranged his schedule to complete the work while the scaffolding was in place. He and a member of his team completed the job in good time and worked efficiently and to a high standard. I am completely satisfied with the result and have no hesitation in recommending Tom and his Company to anyone who requires similar building restoration."
Joseph Cumming
"Many thanks to you and your merry gang for making such a magic repair to my wall. A great job and the garden is so tidy it looks as if you have never been here until you look at the wall and you see that it has come alive again. "
Lorna Watherston
"I just wanted to thank for all the work you have done for me, including the rebuilding of my external wall, together with the fine job you did in repairing the longstanding damage to the house frontage, and the replacement of two lintels, all with beautifully dressed stones prepared on site to match the original Georgian workmanship. I was particularly impressed by the fact that when the weather turned against you, you brought tentage on site to enable the work to continue on the tight schedule imposed, and also by your responsiveness and flexibility in all our dealings. Many thanks."
