WHO ARE WE? - Our team at Edinburgh Stonemasons Ltd are highly qualified and expertly skilled tradesmen. Our training history is certainly extensive including training in Dalkeith Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) and Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS). In addition, we have attended all of the Scottish Lime Centre courses and this makes us experts in using Lime mortar.
Lime Render is a lime-based cementitious mix applied to the external surface of traditionally-built stone buildings. It allows the building to breathe - as lime is porous it allows for the collection and evaporation of moisture. Lime render can be used for external protection to masonry units with poor quality stone, or highly exposed locations, were facing winds and rain is destroying the masonry units.

Stewart undertook much of the work on a complete survey and renovation of Peffermill House - a 400 year old fortified tower house. His work was outstanding. Worked with great skill with stone and render. Incredible work ethic. Always polite, worked to time and budget, while keeping the site clean and tidy. Not an easy project, Stewart found solutions for everything and kept us informed. 10/10. Could not recommend more highly.

Stewart was efficient in quoting and then dealing with insurance companies (3 involved so was over protracted period). when we got the green light Stewart gave me dates to start and finish the job and stuck to them. Wall repair looks terrific, and work area left in great condition. Clearly has a passion for and pride in his work. Wouldn't hesitate to use again or recommend to others.
