Stone Masonry services
Traditional masonry, stone repair and façade conservation delivered by experienced operatives for listed buildings, tenements and historic properties across Scotland.
Common problems
Understanding the building before choosing the repair
Traditional stone buildings rely on compatible materials and skilled workmanship. Open joints, displaced masonry, failed previous repairs and weathered architectural details can allow water into the fabric and accelerate deterioration. Restorex assesses the masonry as a complete elevation rather than treating each visible defect in isolation.
How Restorex approaches the work
Our stone masons work with natural stone and lime-based materials selected to suit the existing building. Repairs may include careful dismantling and rebuilding, indenting new stone, forming architectural details and renewing defective pointing. The objective is a durable, visually coherent repair that retains sound historic fabric wherever practical.
Typical scope
- Natural stone replacement, indenting and rebuilding
- Lime pointing, Lithomex and proportionate stone repairs
- Carving, cleaning, chimneys and structural masonry

Stone Masonry FAQs
Do you work on listed buildings?
Yes. Restorex undertakes conservation-led masonry work on listed, historic and traditionally constructed buildings, subject to the appropriate approvals and project specification.
Can you match existing stone?
Stone is selected for compatibility, colour, texture and weathering characteristics. The correct approach depends on the building and the extent of replacement required.
Do you provide lime pointing?
Yes. Defective cement-rich or failed joints can be carefully removed and repointed using an appropriate lime mortar where the building specification requires it.
