Having worked as an architectural Stonemason for over 25 years and a HETAS Engineer for 10 years, I combined both specialist industries and consequently specialise solely in the installation and reinstating of solid fuel heat sources within Listed and Period Properties and specialist stone masonry services.
To date our works have included major alterations to the chimney and flue systems of Dorset's prestigious Grade 1 heritage properties, Grade 2* ecclesiastically tied chimney restorations and carried out industry specific flue mapping/CCTV surveys, and drone flight surveys to Dundrave Castle on Loch Fyne.

A plethora of linings are available on the modern market yet only a select few are relevant to the specific requirements of your flue system. Weeden masonry will design a bespoke flue system that is right for you based upon your personal aesthetic requirements while taking into account the needs of your period property to ensure you make the right choiceand to get the most from your investment.
In 2011 we decided to test the plausibility of introducing Lime based products into the industry. Through research and endless workshop trials we were able to incorporate a variety of aggregates and stone dust which when combined with Lime putty or NHL achieves a variety of versatile mortars.
This produces structural stability, a gas tight flue path & flexible alternative to modern rigid cementious linings in keeping with the fabric of the historic building.
