We employed Durham Stone to replace a decayed top step (within the door casing at the door) at our listed house. The original steps (most still insitu and the top one only needing attention) have a complex profile at their nosings and edges, and this required to be replicated in the replacement top step. In addition, set into the ends of the step are two stone plinths which, visually, are there to support the painted timber pilasters of the door surround. The replacement was produced to the precise shape needed, and the installation went extremely smoothly (within the bounds of lifting a heavy piece of stone!) and all the dimensions fitted precisely. The crew arrived on the day promised and, despite having to cut out the old step, completed the installation in one day. We are very pleased with the result! More...

Contacted this company for a quote to replace a crumbling stone window sill. Contact with the company was always excellent and informative. They very happily provided a quote breakdown when I asked. I was kept up to date regarding when the job could be done and a mutually convenient day was arranged. On the day of the job the men arrived at the time expected and were extremely pleasant and easy to talk to. The work was carried out to my complete satisfaction and the area was left tidy. I would highly recommend Durham Stonemasonry and Restoration for their great attitude, their reliability and their professional workmanship. More...

Recently had some works done to my property by Durham Stonemasonry and couldn't be happier with the final results. Had some brickwork replaced and re-pointing and an internal crack repaired which were done in keeping with the age of the property. All work done to a very high standard. More...

John, Lewis And Carl repointed our old (circa 1850) stone house with lime mortar and did a great job. John and Tracy came a few times to measure, check and quote and give timescales. They started when they said and although a structural problem was identified, they provided a solution after recommending a structural engineer. The job was not delayed by this and the lads finished when they said. All quotes were accurate with no hidden charges and exceptionally good value. They were always polite, professional and friendly and cleaned up after they's finished. John also designed and fitted wrap around stone steps to 2 doors which complemented the stonework. Again an excellent job. I would highly recommend (and have done to 2 neighbours) to anyone needing great stonemasons. More...

The quality of the work undertaken by Durham Stonemasonry was to a very high standard. The finished restoration work is excellent, considerably improving the appearance of the late Victorian terraced house and that of my neighbour's. The job was well managed and the work completed in a timely fashion. The team on site were courteous, discussed aspects of detail and the programme, whilst paying considerable attention to detail. The techniques used are traditional craft skills, and this combines with the application of a unique lime mortar mix. The mortar not only looks appropriate, offsetting the original stonework, but helps to preserve the stone. The ability to rebuild parts of wall that failed and ensure they match in with the original string courses was excellent. I am more than happy to recommend Durham Stonemasonry as 'outstanding', for those who want a quality product using traditional craft techniques. More...

We found Durham Stonemasonry and Restoration to be a professional company providing good service and high quality work. They did an excellent job for us replacing a stone lintel at the top of our house which they cut and tooled to match the original from the 1850’s and in repointing the stone surrounds of our windows. They are experienced and knowledgable about the properties and uses of stone and sensitive to period buildings like ours. They gave us good advice and a clear view, of what needed to be done at the outset, confirmed it in writing and did the job in the allotted time at the agreed price. We have now asked them to carry out further repairs to our stonework and would recommend them to anyone who needs a stonework job. More...

Durham Stonemasonry have been building an external skin of reclaimed stone, including fitting quoins and mullion windows to my new build house. I am happy with the work that was carried out. I found the lads to be highly capable, experienced and hard working, with a positive attitude to overcoming any problems. There was a minor issue with price increases above what was quoted, during the project, but I think that overall I have still had reasonable value for money. Availability can also be an issue, as this is a busy company with lots of customers to juggle. To summarize, Durham Stonemasonry have done a good job on my house and everyone complements the stonework. More...

Cannot praise Durham Stonemasonry enough for the fantastic work they have undertaken over 4 years on our property renovation. Work including repair and repointing externally, window heads and cills supplied and fitted, interior pointing, fireplace restoration and floor fitting all undertaken expertly and professionally. Very pleased with service and results in each instance. Extremely knowledgable on all stone and building requirements and very accommodating of our project schedule and working around other trades. Only sadness that we didn't have requirement for stone carving as fireplaces on their website look amazing. More...

We have recently used Durham Stone Masonry on a contract in Frosterly Weardale. John and the team installed the dressed stone to the Garden Room and frankly made what looked a complicated job very easy. I would have no hesitation in using the Company again. Their work is to a very high standard and they are a pleasure to deal with.Lanchester More...
