About L&A Building Experts
Ireland's heritage stone restoration & masonry specialists — over 20 years working with lime and natural stone, trusted on protected structures across Meath, Dublin and beyond.
Who We Are
L&A Building Experts is a heritage stone restoration & masonry firm based in Navan, Co Meath, with more than 20 years working with natural stone. We've been trusted with some of the region's most demanding heritage projects — including the €1.2m conservation of the medieval Grange Castle in Dublin and the restoration of the protected Wonderful Barn in Leixlip — alongside everyday repointing, chimneys, walls and full building works.
We cover every part of natural stone building: structural repairs and rebuilds, lime-mortar repointing, conservation of historic and protected buildings, stone and brick cladding, decorative pillars, and bespoke new stone builds.
Whether it's a delicate restoration on an old farmhouse or a brand-new feature wall, our own stonemasons see the job through from start to finish — matching the stone, the bond and the mortar so the finished work sits right with everything around it. We proudly serve Dublin, Louth, Meath, Westmeath, Cavan, Offaly, Monaghan and beyond.
Meet Arturas
Arturas Bagvilas founded L&A Building Experts after two decades working hands-on with stone, in both traditional restoration and new build. What began as one stonemason taking on local wall and repair jobs around Meath has grown into a small, experienced team trusted with everything from heritage repointing to large commercial stonework.
His work covers both ends of the trade — the patience of restoring an old lime-built wall without losing its character, and the planning and graft of building new stone walls, entrances and features meant to stand for generations.
Over the years he has built a reputation across Meath, Dublin and the surrounding counties for turning up when he says he will, keeping a tidy site, and doing the job right the first time — the kind of reputation that comes almost entirely from word of mouth and repeat customers.
He still works on the tools alongside the team on most jobs, combining traditional methods — lime mortar, dry stone walling and hand-cut detailing — with the practical know-how to handle modern builds and grant-assisted restorations of derelict properties.
How We Work
Do It Once, Do It Right
We'd rather do a job once and properly than quickly and twice — the right foundations, the right mortar, and stone matched and laid to last.
Straight Answers
A clear, itemised quote before we start, and we stick to it. No disappearing mid-job, no surprise extras — just honest advice.
Built the Traditional Way
Lime mortar rather than hard cement on older buildings, salvaged or matched stone, and methods that let an old wall breathe.
Word of Mouth Matters
Most of our work comes by recommendation, so how we leave your property counts — a tidy site and stonework you're glad to show the neighbours.
