Honouring Heritage Through Traditional and Bespoke Stonemasonry
At Vitruvian Stonemasonry, we believe that true stonemasonry is more than construction — it is an art form rooted in centuries of tradition. Our highly skilled stonemasons specialise in creating, restoring, and conserving architectural stonework for both new build projects and listed buildings across the South West of England. Whether working on a Grade 1 listed country estate, a historic church, or a contemporary home, we treat every stone as part of a larger story, ensuring that each piece is carefully crafted and perfectly placed.
Our expertise in traditional stonemasonry techniques allows us to preserve and enhance the character of historic properties, while our bespoke approach ensures that new designs feel timeless and elegant. From intricate stone carving to large-scale façade restoration, we deliver results that respect the original fabric of the building and meet the highest standards of heritage conservation. Using only the finest materials and working closely with conservation officers and architects, we ensure each project embodies both authenticity and durability.
By blending time-honoured craftsmanship with modern methods, we bring precision, integrity, and artistry to every commission. Our team’s deep knowledge of architectural stonework enables us to recreate delicate details or introduce new bespoke elements that harmonise seamlessly with existing structures. This commitment to excellence is why homeowners, architects, and heritage organisations across Somerset, Bath, Bristol, and the wider South West choose Vitruvian for their specialist stonemasonry needs.
Precision Stone Carving and Architectural Stonework
Stone carving lies at the heart of our practice, setting Vitruvian Stonemasonry apart as specialists in bespoke and ornamental stonework. Our craftsmen have mastered the delicate art of transforming raw blocks of stone into elegant, hand-carved features — from ornate capitals and window tracery to finely detailed sculptures and lettering. Every commission begins with a deep understanding of the client's vision, the building's historical context, and the specific requirements of each site.
Our architectural stonework services extend to the creation of new elements for modern homes, extensions, and garden structures, as well as the sensitive replication of lost or damaged features in historic buildings. Using traditional tools and techniques alongside the latest technology, we achieve a level of detail and refinement that enhances the architectural integrity of any project. Whether you require a custom stone fireplace, a set of decorative finials, or grand entrance columns, we approach each piece as a unique work of art.
With a focus on both functionality and beauty, our stonemasonry ensures that each stone element performs structurally while contributing to the overall aesthetic of the building. We take pride in offering a service that not only meets technical demands but also celebrates the artistry of stone, helping to create spaces that inspire and endure for generations.
Conservation, Restoration and Lime Works Expertise
As specialists in heritage and listed building stonemasonry, we understand the importance of careful and informed conservation work. Our restoration services are designed to protect and revitalise historic stonework, ensuring it remains a defining feature of the landscape for years to come. From intricate façade repairs to full structural stone conservation, our team works with sensitivity and respect for the original craftsmanship.
We are experts in lime mortar repair, lime pointing, and lime plastering — essential techniques for maintaining breathability and structural integrity in historic masonry. By using these traditional lime methods, we help buildings manage moisture effectively, reduce long-term damage, and maintain their authentic appearance. Our commitment to proper materials and techniques supports the long-term health and heritage value of each property.
Vitruvian Stonemasonry serves clients throughout the South West of England, including Bath, Bristol, Somerset, Devon, and Wiltshire. Whether restoring an ancient country house, repairing stone garden walls, or undertaking complete stone conservation for a church, we deliver meticulous craftsmanship and expert guidance at every stage. Through our combination of heritage stonemasonry, architectural sensitivity, and genuine passion for the craft, we ensure your stonework stands the test of time and continues to tell its story for future generations.
