Stonemasonry & Building Services in Kendal and the Lake District
We provide skilled stonemasonry, stone construction and general building services across Kendal, the Lake District and Cumbria. Our work ranges from traditional stonework on period properties to large-scale new builds and contractor led developments. All projects are completed with attention to detail, reliability and respect for local materials and character.
Stone Facing
We carry out high-quality stone facing for new builds and extensions, using locally appropriate or reclaimed stone where required. Our work ensures clean lines, correct coursing and long-term durability, whether as part of a full build or contractor-supplied shell. We also carry out Pointing and Repointing of walls.
New Stone Buildings
We construct new stone buildings from initial groundworks and foundations all the way until completion including structural stonework and external finishes. Experienced in both traditional and modern construction methods, we deliver stone buildings that meet current regulations while maintaining a genuine Lake District appearnace.
Barn Conversions
We specialise in barn conversions, carefully adapting existing stone structures for residential or commercial use. This includes structural alterations, repairs to existing masonry, stone matching and integration with modern building systems
Boundary Walls
From dry stone walls to mortar boundary walls, we build and repair external stonework that complements the surrounding landscape. Suitable for rural properties, driveways, gardens and site boundaries.
General Building
Alongside stonemasonry, we provide general building services, allowing projects to be delivered efficiently under one contractor. This includes extensions, structural alterations and associated building works
Working with Main Contractors
We undertake groundworks to support both domestic and commercial projects including foundations, drainage, site preparation and concrete works. This makes us an ideal partner for main contractors requiring reliable coordination.
We regularly support main contractors, developers and architects with stonemasonry and groundwork packages. We are comfortable working to drawings, specifications and program deadlines.
