Stonemasons in Kirkcaldy
Traditional stonework in Kirkcaldy, done properly
The Lang Toun’s coastal position is hard on sandstone. Salt air, driving rain and decades of pollution take their toll on tenements, terraces and seafront property. We clean and repair Kirkcaldy stonework gently, without the blasting that strips the stone’s hard outer face.
From lime repointing to indent repairs and full elevations, every job starts with a free survey and a clear written quote, with scaffolding shown as its own line.
What we fix
What we do in Kirkcaldy
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.
See lime pointing
Stone repair
Crumbling sandstone, cracked lintels, eroded sills and loose copes repaired to match.
