Here’s just a hand full of work that was carried out by us in 2025

The beautiful building that is Cheviot house, hidden in the Market square of Coldstream 19th century grade B listed.

We’ve had the pleasure of working on this wonderful building, restoring two of its 3 metre width chimney breasts along with 3 dormer windows.

The building had serve deterioration due to cement mortars and heavy cement render repairs, causing the chimneys to collapse outwards and failing structural supports on the dormers.

This has been Phase 1 of works to help any further failings of the integral structure.

If your interested to read more about this hidden gems wonderful history theres a piece in the Berwickshire news, produced by a lovely lady in the artistry shop “The Hive” at Cheviot house which we worked above.

If you have similar problems with failing stone work due to cement repairs, or even wanting an expect view on your property please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

One of our earlier projects in the year.
Showcasing how detrimental cement can be to your historical building or structure.

Cement repairs had accelerated erosion on 11 structural quoins and collapsed the inner brick of the chimney.

We urge you to get your chimney checked especially with the increase of high winds recently.

If you have a similar problem, or just need your historical building checked please get in touch.

As we are coming into an exciting year for projects, we would like to thank all our clients and customers for the continued support over the last 3-4 years.

It’s important for us to continue the work we love and appreciate as a company and couldn’t do it without you.

Here are just a handful of the projects we did last year restoring some beautiful historic buildings in conservation areas, around the Scottish Borders & Edinburgh.

We are slowly getting booked up right into summer already, so please get in touch if you’re looking for us to give any quotes or evaluations of your properties.

Would also like to thank my colleague Marc for his continued hard work for us over the years, as he starts his own business venture.

90% of the stone work cut and hand dressed on-site my self to fit such irregular stone sizes, balustrades, coping & string course provided , along with all the amazing hazledean block provided for the project.

Beautiful transformation of one of our most recent projects, this 1798 C listed cottage in the Scottish Borders.

Showing how much difference can be made by using the right materials with the right skill set. This building was covered in cement, hiding and damaging the stone work causing damp!

After our traditional lime pointing this building can now breathe and last for more generations to come.

Have any of these problems?

Beautiful gate pillars we had the pleasure of building a couple years back.

Seeing the transition of flowers growing around them, and the gates going on, makes them look even more incredible than they already are.

These where done on an amazing creative space on the Scottish Borders.
