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.

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.
