Stonemasons in Dunfermline
Traditional stonework in Dunfermline, done properly
Dunfermline’s streets are lined with traditional sandstone, from the old town around the Abbey to the Victorian and Edwardian villas beyond. We are based just up the road in Kelty, and we repair that stonework properly, with lime mortar and matched sandstone rather than the hard cement that traps damp inside soft stone.
Whether it is crumbling pointing on a townhouse, a spalled window surround or a chimney head that has let go, we survey the stone, tell you plainly what needs doing and put it in a written quote.
What we fix
What we do in Dunfermline
Most calls start with crumbling stone, damp on an inside wall or pointing that has come away with the weather. Pick the one closest to yours, or book the free survey and we will tell you.
Lime pointing
Crumbling or cement pointing raked out by hand and repointed in lime mortar, not cement, so the wall can dry out.
