Edinburgh Stonemasons Ltd

ESM carried out some chimney repairs recently and lime pointing, the process with ESM was seamless from start to finish.

I would highly recommend Edinburgh Stonemasons.

Extensive repair and rebuild to a gable sandstone wall on an old extension to a traditional Edinburgh sandstone semi detached. Stewart and his team were excellent. He gave a prompt estimate, scheduled the scaffolding and work, came when promised and brought the work in ahead of schedule. Obviously a craftsman that takes pride in a job well done.

Stewart repaired some holes in our stonework after some building works. At all times Stewart was professional and he kept us informed as to dates to perform the works. The quality of the work is exceptional you would never realise that there had been holes. The colour and texture matching are perfect as is the repair.

Edinburgh Stonemasons completed major repairs and renovations to the exterior of our large B-listed house in South Edinburgh over the summer of 2022. We appointed them as the prime contractor, for stonework repairs and repointing, and also to engage sub-contractors for scaffolding, masonry painting and redecoration, and for some specialist harling repair work, as well as repairs, painting and mastic sealing of 49 timber sash and case windows.

In all cases, the sub-contractors were professional experienced tradespeople and worked well with Stewart’s team. The quality of workmanship is evident in all the work on the house. We were impressed with the way that Stewart project managed all the sub-contractors directly, resolving the inevitable potential conflicts that could arise with the schedules for each trade and constraints with the weather. We never had to manage any of those sub-contractor interfaces ourselves as Stewart did all that work.

The Edinburgh Stonemasons team always showed professionalism, with the right PPE and safe methods of working, and keeping the workplace clear and tidy.
Stewart’s price quotations were clear and the final bill was exactly in line with the original quotation, with any extras having been agreed (or asked for) specifically by us. This was not the cheapest work we have had done on the house, but it was the best value.

Really pleased, professional job.

Wholeheartedly endorse the strengths highlighted in previous reviews regarding the work of Edinburgh Stonemasons.
A company that respects and values its own skills and materials,as well as,the jobs and clients with whom they work.

Most obliging and helpful.
Stewart found several problems with the roof after a roofer said the problem was due to a blocked drain. He took before and after photos and keep me informed all along the way.
He came out on a Saturday morning when I discovered a new leak after unprecedented heavy rain.
Recommended to me by an architect and I am happy to also recommend Edinburgh Stonemasons.

A professional, friendly team. They gave a first-rate job and we are extremely happy with the results

Stewart and the team from Edinburgh Stonemasons did a fabulous job repairing damaged stonework at my flat. I'm extremely pleased with the results, and in particular the colour match which is much better than I'd expected. The team kept me informed on progress at all times and finished the work to a very high standard. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stewart Inkster, Edinburgh Stonemasons.

On completion of the work within my property in Morningside, i was absolutely delighted with the results. From the initial telephone contact, to the visit and the speedy submission of the quotation it was clear that Stewart was enthusiastic and professional, he was well dressed and was very easy to communicated with.

Throughout the project i was impressed with the service and when i asked questions, Stewart was able to answer these with detailed knowledge and passion. Both my partner and I were chuffed, on the final day the area was cleaned and all of the waste was removed. Stewart ensured that everything was spotless.

I would without question recommend Edinburgh StoneMasons Ltd, The company and its team are trustworthy, professional and passionate.

Best wishes

Stewart and his team were tasked to remove the old concrete pointing on the rear and gable walls of my listed property and re-point using lime mortar. I am absolutely delighted with the finished work. They were hard working, professional, knowledgeable and friendly such that it was a pleasure having them. Their workmanship is of an incredibly high standard and they clearly don't cut corners. Even over weekends they would turn up to wet down the stone rather than risk the mortar drying too quickly. Each evening they made sure all areas were cleaned and tidied up. Another unexpected but nice touch was the inclusion of a window cleaner at the end.
If you are looking for skilled, professional masons then I can wholeheartedly recommend Edinburgh Stonemason Ltd.

I have worked with ESM Ltd on numerous occasions and found them to have a wealth of knowledge regarding stone & external fabric repairs. The director Stewart is friendly, easy to deal with, honest and reliable. Both Stewart and his operatives leave a high standard of finish and are experienced in traditional lime mortar repairs.

Edinburgh Stonemasons were a pleasure to work with. Punctual, courteous and reliable. A very thorough and detailed breakdown of the works to be carried out was provided. The rebuild of an old Victorian chimney was a demanding and skilled job and the finished work is of a very high standard. Thank you Stewart and Co.

Easy to deal with and know their business. Job completed to a high standard and within the estimate originally advised despite some complications in the work.
