Giving Old Buildings a New Life

A steading, a barn, a mill - these buildings were made to work, not to live in. Converting them means understanding what the stone is doing structurally before you start cutting new openings and exposing walls. Get it wrong and you compromise the building. Get it right and you end up with a home that has more character than anything you could build from scratch. We handle the stonework side of conversions - structural repairs, new openings with proper lintels, repointing, and creating internal stone features that bring the building's original character into the living space.

[ 01 ]

Structural Assessment

Before any work begins, we assess the existing stonework - what's sound, what needs repair, and what needs special attention.

[ 02 ]

New Openings

Cutting new doorways and window openings in stone walls, with proper lintels and structural support.

[ 03 ]

Old Meets New

Where original stone sits next to new work, we match type, colour and coursing so the conversion reads as one building, not a patchwork.

[ 04 ]

Internal Features

Exposed stone walls, feature fireplaces, stone details that bring the building's character into the living space.

Repairs & Repointing

Most conversion projects need some stone repair. We rebuild damaged sections and repoint in appropriate mortar.

Part of Your Build Team

Conversions involve a lot of trades in tight spaces. We coordinate with your main contractor and building control to keep the stonework on track without slowing anyone else down.

Conversion Stonework Questions Answered

[ FAQs ]

Can you cut new openings in existing stone walls?

Yes. We regularly cut new doorways and window openings, installing proper lintels and ensuring the structure remains sound.

Will new stonework match the original?

We source stone to match the original as closely as possible. Over time the new stone weathers in and the difference becomes almost invisible.

Do you handle the planning and building warrant aspects?

We work alongside your architect or project manager on technical submissions. We can provide specifications and information for building control as needed.

What types of buildings do you convert?

Barns, steadings, mills, churches, schools - we've worked on various traditional buildings being converted to residential or commercial use.
