What our clients say...
Below are examples of before and after our work.
“I have known David for fifteen years since he did extensive work on my period property in a conservation village and have been constantly impressed by his skill, dedication and innate good nature. Notably, David has invested in high grade equipment and health and safety thus producing on site efficiency and a safe working environment. In sum, he is a credit to his trade.”
“We have used David’s services twice since recently moving into the area. We own a Grade 2 listed property within a conservation area which means we need good craftsman to maintain it to the highest standards with due regard to the original fabric of the building. David has always met these standards and coupled with his local knowledge and his passion for stone has resulted in some very pleasing work. I would highly recommend him.”
”David was recommended to us by a friend and we were not disappointed. He did a wonderful job on our stonework which was in a poor condition and in need of a good artisan tradesman. All work done within the time originally agreed and costs came in below the original estimate.”
“we needed our stone house repainting as a large area faced a main road and had been subjected to years of vehicle spray and salt pollutants. David kept us informed of what work would be required on a daily basis, his time-keeping was excellent and he continued the job until complete. His skills and passion for working with stone quickly became apparent, he never complained about the weather or unpleasantness of working close to the main road . I have no hesitation in recommending David to anyone that requires a quality stonemason.”
“David did a fantastic job in rebuilding and re pointing an historic wall for us to the specifications given by Historic England. It was a big job, and the working conditions were not always favourable, but he brought the job in on schedule and on budget. The end result looks fantastic. David is a skilled stonemason who is 100% trustworthy and always willing to give advice or listen to the customers ideas.”
“We have engaged DMR Building & Restoration on a number of heritage brickwork contracts over the last 18 months, and have been impressed with both the exceptional standard of work produced, and the first rate service provided by David.”
“Dave has worked for us on numerous occasions. We had an old limestone barn with numerous problems that was dealt with in an extremely professional manor and all the new work blends in beautifully with the old. Dave was extremely particular on blending lime mortar to also blend in. He has also replaced limestone in our stables and built two limestone walls with a clay pan-tile topping which looks absolutely beautiful. On top of all this he has also engraved lettering onto some stone to personalise our property. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him in any aspect of building work especially stonework. He is an extremely polite and conscientious man.”
”David did some work for me earlier in the year on brickwork that needed cutting out and making good with lime mortar.My house is a barn conversion and in a conservation area so needed the necessary expertise. I was very pleased with the standard of work and he was always punctual on site, worked quietly and the area was always left tidy. I can also say the same for remedial work inside the house. In all I am very happy to recommend him.”
