About this service
Changing the layout of a stone building
Altering a stone building – such as turning a window into a door, or slapping through a solid stone wall to form a new opening – is specialist work in its own right. It needs careful planning, temporary support and the right skills to leave a strong, neat finish that suits the original building.
We form new openings, widen or lower existing ones, and install new stone lintels, sills, jambs and rybats dressed to match the existing stonework, so the alteration looks as though it has always been there.
Where needed, we work alongside your architect, structural engineer and other trades to make sure everything is done properly and safely.
