About us

We’re a building and restoration business based in Ross-on-Wye and the surrounding areas, specialising in traditional masonry and lime work. Every project is approached with care and attention to detail, with a strong focus on using the right materials and methods for the building to ensure it performs properly and stands the test of time.

Our approach

Alongside our traditional and heritage work, we also undertake selected modern building projects. Whatever the work, we maintain the same approach — careful workmanship, attention to detail, and clear communication throughout. Our aim is always to deliver a well-executed result that is built to last.

Services

Stonemasonry & Restoration

We carry out stonemasonry and restoration work, including repairs to existing stonework and rebuilds, along with traditional stone walling such as rubble and coursed masonry, and dry stone walling.

Lime Mortar Repointing & Limecrete systems

We carry out lime mortar repointing, including full house repoints, the removal of damaging cement-based mortars and failed original lime mortar, along with patch repairs where required. All work is carried out using carefully selected lime mortars matched to the surrounding masonry. We also install limecrete floor systems and undertake other lime-based works where appropriate.

Brickwork & Structural Repairs

We carry out brickwork and structural repairs, including rebuilding, alterations and repairs to damaged or failing masonry, as well as new brickwork and features.

Landscaping & Patios

We carry out landscaping and patio works, including the construction of natural stone patios, garden walls, and general external works to improve and create outdoor spaces.

General Building

We carry out general building works, including property improvements, repairs, and small to medium-scale construction projects, delivered with the same attention to detail as our specialist work.

Groundworks & Drainage

We carry out groundworks and drainage, including site preparation, foundations, drainage installations, and general external works to support construction and property improvements.

What Our Clients Say

Richard Watt

Our house was built in 1860s, we had damp issues so removed most of the modern paint and engaged Jacob to repoint it with lime. He was very professional, great communication and lovely to have around. Really pleased with the work & no issues with the re-pointing despite several storms, the house looks great now. Would def recommend him.

Jacob has just completed several days of work in my home patching up the pointing in a couple of 17th century fireplaces, stripping render from a sandstone wall and then repointing it. I'm over the moon with his workmanship, and I found him extremely trustworthy and a lovely person to have around. Always so polite and respectful e.g being extra careful around the wallpaper. Thanks Jacob, you're a ⭐

Jacob proved to be even better than my initial review below suggested. His skill is second to none, his attitude just wonderful, his kind and gentle manner a pleasure to have on our premises, his professionalism was impeccable and his love of heritage shone through not only from him but through his work too. I 100% recommend Jacob - the work is better than we could have imagined! Thank you, Jacob. Jacob has not yet undertaken the work at our property, but his attitude, understanding, level of expertise and his kindness from our first meeting was so impressive that I felt I should pop on here to add a review to say so. We have an old Hereford stone wall that needs A LOT of work. Jacob was frank and honest, but also showed a willingness to work with us over time to care for the wall in a spaced out and suitable timeframe for all. An extraordinarily friendly and professional young man who absolutely knows his stuff! A pleasure to have met him and we look forward to him undertaking some of the work this year. Highly recommend.
