Straight answers

What homeowners worry about before they call

CONCERN 01

“Will the wrong repair damage my building?”

Hard cement traps moisture inside soft sandstone and accelerates decay. We only use breathable lime mortars matched to the original joint, and methods approved for listed and conservation-area property.

CONCERN 02

“How do I know what it will cost?”

The survey is free and carries no obligation. You then receive a clear, itemised written quote at a fixed price — no jargon, no day rates that creep, and no pressure to proceed.

CONCERN 03

“Am I dealing with a real firm?”

Twenty-five years of trading from a registered Fife address, 1,200 buildings restored, full public liability insurance and a written ten-year workmanship guarantee on everything we do.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

The things homeowners ask us most before booking a survey. Anything we haven't covered — call 07377 455015 and ask a mason directly.

How much will it cost?

Every building is different, so we don’t do guesswork prices. We visit, survey the stone, and give you a clear, itemised written quote at a fixed price — no day rates, no surprises, and no obligation to go ahead. The survey itself is free.

How quickly can you come out?

Most surveys are arranged within a few days anywhere across Edinburgh, Fife, Dundee and Perth, and your written quote follows shortly after the visit.

Why lime mortar instead of cement?

Hard cement seals moisture inside soft sandstone — the wall can’t breathe, damp builds up, and the stone face decays. We only use breathable lime mortars, matched to the original joint, so the wall works the way it was built to.

My building is listed or in a conservation area — can you still work on it?

Yes. Our methods and materials are approved for listed and conservation-area property, and it’s the kind of work we do week in, week out. At the survey we’ll tell you plainly what your building needs and what permissions, if any, your project may require.

Are you insured, and is the work guaranteed?

Both. We carry full public liability insurance, and every job is backed by a written 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Which areas do you cover?

Edinburgh, Fife, Dundee and Perth, plus the towns around them — Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, St Andrews, Broughty Ferry and more. If you’re nearby and not sure, just ask.

Do you handle scaffolding and access?

Yes — access, scaffolding and safety are all handled for you, from garden walls to gable ends and chimney heads. We leave the site clean and tidy every day.
