Stonemasonry
Stonemasonry is a classical craft and art. Taking rock and
shaping it into accurate shapes of varying complexity to do well
take years of training and experience. From carving what is
regarded as classical architectural masonry seen in period and more
illustrious buildings to simple chamfers, complex tracery windows,
statues, ornate and abstract designs of all description to creating
very detailed mouldings takes many different disciplines. Each area
of stonemasonry is its own specialist craft; from knowing each
stones application and best uses, its correct orientation when
bedded in position, to even what fixings to use, all takes years of
expert knowledge and experience.
NSE provides a full stonemasonry service for architectural build
or heritage and ecclesiastical restoration work.
