Services
Riviera Stonemasons are South Devon's leading Stonemasons, specializing in the construction of Houses, Walls, Sea Defences, River Defences, Roads & Bridges and the restoration & repointing of historical landmark buildings - from design to completion, all from locally sourced natural stone resources.
We carried out extensive conservation works to the Central Gateway, The Dipping Pond and the Central and West Steps using stone from Blue Lias and Hamstone carefully using a selection of stone dusts and lime mortar to obtain the required finish. We took measurements to ensure that anything that was replaced slotted into the original positions were possible.
We act in accordance with the policy and procedure set out in our company's document 'Statement of health, safety and welfare policy in respect of the health and safety at work act 1974'. We were awarded the best practice initiative with regards to our Manual Handling activities on the Shaldon and Ringmore Flood Defence project in 2010.
This project at the National Trust property at Galmpton involved us re-laying the pitch stone paving with new reclaimed cobbles. There were also a number of stone walls where the mortar was failing. These areas were raked out and re-pointed in an hydraulic lime mortar. Contract value: 26,000. Our first task was to make a frame up around the pillar and stretch clear polythene across the frame making sure it was the same size as the pillar.
