Stone masonry contractors in Edinburgh
Conservation-led natural stone masonry for Edinburgh’s tenements, listed buildings, commercial properties and historic landmarks.
Masonry repairs designed for Edinburgh’s traditional buildings
Edinburgh’s sandstone buildings require repairs that respond to the original stone, construction and exposure. Open joints, displaced masonry, cracked details and inappropriate hard cement repairs can trap moisture or allow water into the fabric. Restorex assesses the elevation and surrounding weathering details before defining the scope.
Our work includes natural-stone replacement, indenting, careful dismantling and rebuilding, lime pointing, chimney masonry and the repair of architectural features. Stone is selected for compatibility, colour, texture and weathering characteristics, while profiles are formed to match the surrounding work without making the building appear artificially new.
Restorex coordinates masonry with roofs, leadwork, windows and rainwater goods. This matters because damage around cornices, chimneys and openings is frequently connected to defects elsewhere in the external envelope. The result is a practical, coherent repair programme rather than isolated cosmetic patches.
