From the basic masonry work such as simple heads and sills in private homes to larger and more complex masonry such tracery windows, capitals and balustrades.
Ecclesiastical figures, commemorative statues, memorials and stone features – our team of highly skilled stonemasons can carry out any size of stone carving, producing intricately detailed works from scratch.
Faithfully restoring architecture to its original state is what keeps historic buildings alive and interesting to new generations. With our years of experience, Halestone has a reputation for painstaking attention to detail when it comes to restoration work.
Whether we are creating house signs, businesses entrances, or commemorative plaques our master stonemasons still use the traditional tools and hand cut methods to produce ‘V’ Cut Lettering. We also sand blast lettering and imagery – this is a modern technique for producing a different finish to hand-cut lettering. Lettering can be finished in a variety of colours and also gold leaf. Examples of our work can be seen at The Piece Hall in Halifax
There few limitations when it comes to bespoke fireplaces. If you can think it, we can create it. We take your idea for a fireplace and surround and work closely with you to achieve your vision.
Walls constructed using Lime Mortar require periodic maintenance and attention. Gradual decay and neglect are the main causes of damage and are best repaired/restored using traditional lime pointing. Halestone carries out all aspects of lime pointing and wall restoration.
We work closely with a select number of local quarries, ensuring that the relationship we have with them preserves our good name. Our reputation is built as much on our stone sourcing standards as it is on our skills and experience. We select our stone to best suit the project, matching quality and appearance, often working closely with architects to get a perfect stone match.
