Services
Yorkstone Steps
We craft and install bespoke Yorkstone steps renowned for durability and aesthetic appeal. Our precision-cut treads and risers suit traditional and modern properties, with options for bullnosed edges to prevent chipping. Each installation includes expert fitting and integration with existing structures.
Portland Stone Paving
Our Portland Stone paving solutions combine historical authenticity with contemporary design. Sourced directly from Dorset quarries, these hard-wearing slabs are ideal for patios, driveways, and public spaces, offering a timeless finish with minimal maintenance.
Waterproofing Systems
We install multi-layered waterproof membranes beneath stone steps to protect basements and ground-floor areas. This invisible system channels water away from buildings, preventing damp and structural damage while maintaining the stone's natural appearance.
Metalwork Installation
Our custom metalwork services include Victorian-style railings, balustrades, and gates designed to complement stone installations. We restore original features or create new pieces using durable materials that withstand London's climate.
Bespoke Stonemasonry
From ornate pier caps to mosaic pathways, we create tailored stonework solutions. Our team works with clients to design unique elements like coping stones, wall edging, and decorative tiling that enhance architectural character.
