Heritage & conservation specialists
Trusted on protected and listed structures like Grange Castle and The Wonderful Barn. Heritage stone is what we do — not a sideline to general building.
Lime-mortar craftsmen
We do old stone the right way — breathable lime that protects the wall, never hard cement that traps damp and cracks it.

Where are you based and what areas do you cover?
We're a stone masonry team based in Navan, Co Meath. We work right across Meath, Dublin, Louth, Westmeath, Cavan, Monaghan and Offaly — and we have local pages for over 20 towns.
Do you give free quotes?
Yes. We arrange a free site visit, look at the job, and give you a clear, itemised quote with no obligation and no pressure.
Do you use lime mortar on older buildings?
Yes. On older and protected buildings we use lime mortar rather than hard cement, so the wall can breathe and the stone isn't damaged. It's the correct, longer-lasting way to repoint period stonework.
Are you insured?
Yes — we're fully insured, with €6.5m public liability and €13m employers' liability cover.
