Time-served tradesmen restoring historic buildings and conserving heritage
We're trusted by custodians – construction professionals, public sector organisations, housing associations, and owners – to restore their buildings and protect heritage. We deliver all forms of specialist restoration works, structural repairs, and building maintenance.
We're skilled tradesmen. Together we bring centuries of experience in stonemasonry, stonework repairs, roofing, leadwork and carpentry for sandstone facades, slate roofs, lead detailing and other age-old materials. All services are delivered in-house by our expert team, assuring our clients of the people and processes being followed on site. We combine traditional craftmanship with modern project management.
We take great care with every building and structure we're trusted with, planning projects meticulously, executing works exactly, and never compromising on quality. Our clients count on us to deliver to specification, on time and on budget - every time. Understanding that we're working on properties often at the heart of busy communities, we're just as careful in our approaches with residents and neighbours, too. It's a privilege to work on and maintain exceptional buildings.
Established in Glasgow in the early 90s, we're proud of our roots. Our home city boasts centuries-old buildings built for thriving industries and growing communities. We take our expertise to cities and communities across Scotland to conserve our built heritage.
In 2025, we joined forces with M Squared. Like us, they take real pride in their work, delivering all aspects of commercial landscaping. With a shared ethos and clear synergies, we're using our expertise to build on one another's specialisms and market reach.
