Business Information

We offer impartial and expert building surveying services for both residential and commercial clients. Utilising traditional inspection methods alongside advanced drone technology, we conduct Drone Surveys, Bespoke Building Surveys, Masonry Surveys, and RICS Home Surveys.

Our drones provide a cost-effective and efficient alternative to conventional inspection methods like scaffolding and cherry pickers, allowing visual inspection of hard-to-reach areas and delivering high-resolution images and videos for accurate condition assessments of masonry, roofs, chimneys, and rainwater systems.

We can safely and quickly inspect city centre tenements including parts of the building that are normally inaccessible, producing a condition report that identifies problem areas and recommends options for repairs and maintenance.

Our surveys can be tailored to your needs, including features such as traffic light condition ratings, annotated photographs, sketches, and roof layouts. We offer everything from focused roof inspections to comprehensive building surveys. With over 35 years of experience in the built heritage sector, we bring extensive knowledge of permeable materials like stone and lime mortars to our work.

We also carry out RICS Home Surveys Level 2 and Level 3, using a standardised template with traffic light ratings to indicate the condition of various building elements. These surveys, popular among home buyers, offer a general health check of the property.

All surveys are conducted by an Associate Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) with specialised qualifications in Conservation of Masonry and Energy Efficiency for Older & Traditional Buildings. Our drone surveys are carried out by Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) registered pilots who are qualified to GVC standard and trained to operate under our Operational Authorisation issued by the CAA.

Review Comments
We requested a condition survey of the roofs of a large listed domestic property built in 3 stages over around 150 years (ca 1730s to 1900s). The resulting report, with high definition photographs and detailed descriptions of each element and any problems to be dealt with, is proving an essential tool in developing a programme of work. Includes links to trade bodies when sourcing trades and contractors, and advice on key aspects of stonemasonry, mortars, leadwork and other elements of roof construction that we need to be aware of when talking to them. David is very approachable if further advice or clarification is needed.

We were extremely pleased with Stoneworks and would certainly recommend them. We needed to understand more about the structure of our home (ahead of potential improvements) and to identify the root cause of a particular issue. David was fantastic from start to finish. Listened to what we needed, quoted for it, provided an excellent report and charged what was quoted. David worked tirelessly during the survey, taking time to listen and answer / discuss any questions I had and to impart some of his extensive experience and knowledge. As a result, we have identified the root cause of our issue and now know much more about our home and any areas that we need to focus on.

David is a beyond knowledgeable professional who is able to provide a fantastic amount of information on older buildings.

He has a great previous trade knowledge, a passion for stone masonry, professional, very educational and kind/ straight talking.

I am now able to make educated and safe decisions on a building purchase and have a strong idea of required works.

Thank you

I had an independent survey of my roof carried out following some very poor quality work from a roofing company leaving my roof in a worse state than it was originally in.

Stoneworks were excellent and professional. The turnaround between surveying my roof and sending the detailed report was very quick. The use of the drone saved time and money sorting out scaffolding or a cherry picker.

Building survey to address leaks and identify any other repairs and maintenance tasks required for traditional sandstone house.

Punctual, helpful, informative, methodical (including use of thermal imaging, moisture sensor and drone inspection).

Clear communication and explanations before, during and after the survey.

Detailed report included all photographs taken and web links for further reading on the advised repairs.

I needed an expert to conduct a masonry survey of a broken boundary brick wall of a house I had offered to buy.
Not knowing who to ask, I found David via Google and am glad that I did.
He was helpful on the phone first explaining what he could and couldn’t do and shuffling to do it quickly for me.
His quote was transparent and reasonable so I engaged him. He provided me with a professional written survey with extensive photos and both short and long term actions.
I am very pleased with his survey and will definitely use him again if I need similar surveys.

We wished to have a roof survey undertaken in connection with a potential tenement flat purchase. David was able to undertake the survey at very short notice, using drone photography. His report followed very quickly, and he provided a link to the extensive set of photographs taken during the survey. His report was very clear, and he was extremely responsive and helpful in responding to our follow up queries. We would not hesitate to use Stoneworks again.

I am the owner of a property in a small block which consists in total of 12 flats, and Stoneworks have just completed a building survey for us. We require a roof repair and we were being given vastly differing costings so decided to have a building survey done before proceeding with any work.
David's report is extremely comprehensive and will allow all owners to proceed with confidence on any necessary work requiring done on the building. David was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for either him or Mitchell. There were no delays in replying to any of our emails nor did we feel we were taking up too much of their time. Also the cost for the survey was very reasonable and compared favourably with other quotes we received.
Having spoken to the other owners we would all be happy to use Stoneworks again for any of our individual properties.

I asked Stoneworks to survey the rear elevation of my flat to produce drawings for submitting an application for Listed Building Consent and Planning Permission.
David visited in less than a week and sent his drawings less than a week later.
I was happy with the survey as he advised me and we discussed various options.
The computer drawings were better than I could have produced by hand.

We had a multi home building surveyed by David. We needed alot of roof work done in particular and the quality of the pictures he took to assess the building were amazing and thorough, the fact he used a drone to get photos of areas that were tricky to access gave us massive confidence in his survey! David's report was very in depth so i would highly recommend Stoneworks, we will use them for any future jobs that we need.

Stoneworks we’re engaged by us (4 owners of separate flats within a Georgian A listed Building) to carry out a survey to help identify stonework defects which may be contributing to a water ingress. The report we received was exceptional, which included highly detailed photographs, some taken using a drone. The accompanying consultation from David, who has extensive experience in his field, was thorough and no question was too much trouble. The ingress has now been identified as a result. Very glad to have been referred to Stoneworks and would recommend 100%.

The work undertaken was stonework repairs on a church (over 100 years old & a listed building). The first stage was an inspection, report & detailed tender which proved both the experience & professionalism of the owner, David. The second stage comprised the actual work which was carried out on schedule & to our complete satisfaction. At all stages we were kept informed & David went above & beyond in offering additional advice which he had gathered from his obviously wide experience of old, historical buildings. To sum up - excellent!

I was lucky to have Stoneworks take on my small job to erect a memorial headstone for my mother whose casket I brought back to Scotland for burial. Communication was excellent from the start and David was good about planning meetings. The headstone came from Ukraine and shipping had logistical challenges but David was willing to go out of his way and also worked to keep costs low. When the council decided the other family headstone needed to be re-erected, David took on that task with a cheery attitude. He worked hard in inclement weather to meet our funeral deadline and did a beautiful job. Having the headstone placed before the burial meant so much to me and if mom was looking down, she would be as pleased and grateful to David and Stoneworks as I was.

We have used David Lindsay and Stoneworks on two occasions - once for stonework repairs on the frontage of a Victorian tenement, and once for the rebuild of cellar stairs and related walls at a Georgian tenement. David and his team were excellent on both jobs, and we have recommended them to others on many occasions. They are responsive, straightforward, reliable, hardworking and do high quality work. I would use them again at the drop of a hat.

Replacement of some exterior stonework on 18th century stable conversion. Very good quality of work, carried out within the agreed timescale and budget to a set price, and with excellent communication at all stages. Not the cheapest but still good value for money for a smooth experience and a good end result. Stoneworks really understand period stone buildings and can be relied upon to give sound advice.

The Stoneworks team re-built and pointed walls and chimneys, following professional consultations and friendly advice. They were there in all weathers and nothing was too much trouble. The end result looks terrific and should last for many years to come.

The work was carried out on a Church of Scotland Manse from 1897. Eroded chimney was taken down, materials set aside for reuse or replaced with new matching masonry. Wall head repaired and stack rebuilt. All access scaffolding and lifting equipment was provided satisfactorily. Gable was repointed where required.
CDM plan was prepared and agreed with the Church Property Convener. The works were completed to our complete satisfaction, to a high standard of finish, on time and within budget.

David and his team are a credit to their profession and maintain the upmost professionalism and integrity. From the outset I had trust and assurance in David's findings and recommendations. His detailed report was easy to understand and highlighted what needed done without any surprises or hidden costs. His team are time served with considerable experiance in restoring historical buildings. I watched in awe at the level of traditional skills his team possessed, their knowledge of stonework and the enjoyment they took from their finished product, they were really likeable. I had all walls on my semi detached victorian house raked and repointed, replacement stone to chimney stack, chimney pots removed and reset, front bay window columns/lintels repositioned (after historical movement), and inner walls rebuilt for new beams. Work completed in approx 1 month. Absolute first class and highly recommended!

David and his team at Stoneworks were very professional. An accurate quotation was provided as were a detailed time line 6 months in advance with various options included.
The work was carried out perfectly and within the the time frame allowed.
Each night the site was left tidy and we are very pleased with the result and would recommend him again and again.
Stoneworks were not cheap but were good value for money- reliable and very responsive when issues arose.

The Kirkmichael Trust have used David Lindsay and Stoneworks twice, once for carving two full size medieval ornate crosses to be exhibited in the nave and chancel at Kirkmichael in the Black Isle, and a second time for carving a full-size tablestone slab with inscription to replace a smashed tablestone slab in the kirkyard at Kirkmichael in the Black Isle. David was very reliable, honest, checked with us where there were any decisions to be made, delivered when he said he would deliver, thoroughly professional.
