Edinburgh Stone Repair Ltd

We do not recommend Edinburgh Stone Repair. We hired them to repoint the gable end of our stone cottage where we observed various worrying things, which when we questioned we were met with rudeness and verbal abuse. They stormed off site leaving the job unfinished.

We contacted the Scottish Lime Center Trust and showed photographs of the work; they confirmed it did not look like best practices had been followed.. Examples include: using power tools (resulting in some stones being damaged with cut marks or their edges squared off), the existing joints only raked out by 10mm in many places (despite some joints having a width of 20mm+), pointing onto dusty dry walls, the lime not being compacted into the joints, and the pointing not always being sufficiently covered or the hessian damped down (the weather was 20 degrees with direct sun). A final gripe was their lack of respect for our property and garden - no areas were covered or protected and so we had lime splattered all over our new paths, bin store, plants and grass. Waste lime water was even dumped into our plants.

Whilst I appreciate it can be hard to have your work questioned on site, ultimately Steven agreed with my observations, and indeed in one instance chose to ask his masons to rake out the fresh lime and start again. I was polite throughout the entire job, yet Steven stood in my garden shouting “you know absolutely nothing”, “you must have OCD or somethin’”, and “you’re off your heed”. I was home alone with my young children and I was made to feel scared and threatened. So from both a quality of workmanship and from a professionalism point of view - I do not recommend Steven or his team.

The mullions on our 150 year old bay window had cracked and were laminating. Steven and his team provided an excellent service. Not only is the end result very good, but they cleaned up thoroughly afterwards and, once the scaffolding was down, cleaned the windows. Highly recommended

Stevie from Edinburgh stone repair replaced the failed render on our chimney breast and we were delighted with the service from start to finish.

Very happy with recent work done on our tenement roof. Steven and his team were reliable and great at communicating throughout the job and good value too. Would definitely recommend.

Stephen responded to my initial request within 24hrs and was great and keeping me informed along the way. Turned up on time and was really helpful during the repair discussing options. I would definitely recommend and use ESR again.

Stevie and his team have completed various stone repairs for me throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians. Always reliable and high standard of workmanship.

Contacted Steven & his team regarding a leak in my flat and he responded very quickly, even whilst he was on holiday took all the details of the location and the problem. He came out within a week and all repairs done. Will definitely use his services again & highly recommend him

I’ve worked alongside Edinburgh stone repair Ltd on several jobs and they always leave a very high standard which makes my job so much easier. Steven has a wealth of knowledge in his trade and I’d highly recommend his company.

We have now used Steven on mainy of our recent projects , we find his quotations very hard to beat and for the standard of work we can’t recommend Edinburgh Stone Repair enough , look forward to many more projects together

As a roofing business we use Edinburgh Stone Repair for all of our stone work which can range from small stone repairs to complete chimney rebuilds.

Stevie and the team are very professional and always deliver to meet our customer deadlines. I would not hesitate to recommended Edinburgh Stone Repair to family and friends. We will continue to use Stevie and the team for all our stone work.

Steven and the team did two jobs for us, both excellent. Clear and comprehensive quotes prior to starting the work. The team arrived on time, worked hard, were very tidy, and completed on schedule. All members of the team were good-humoured and were clearly skilled craftspeople. Photo of the first job included, where the team carved and replaced the sandstone window arch.

While they were carrying out the first job, we asked if they could check out some rain damage at the back of the house. This Steven did, and agreed to carry out a drain repair, cleaning and repointing of the stone wall. The back of the house is difficult to access. The team carried their equipment and heavy bags of lime mortar from van through two gardens to the wall, and then back again at the end of the day. That deserves an extra star, though we’re limited to five! Extra shout out to Darren’s superb playlist :)

We will definitely contact the team again for work on our house and happily recommend Edinburgh Stone Repair.

Replacement of dressed stones and repointing to prevent dampness. Steven and his team did a first class job very efficiently - delighted to recommend.

Steven responded quickly to my initial enquiry completed the job when he said he would. Very professional, excellent workmanship, good communication,
Clean and tidy site. Extremely pleased with the work and would highly recommend.

Significant stone repairs were required to the front of my tenement building. Steven made the whole process as painless as possible, had great communications throughout and offered lots of pragmatic advice. Work was done to a good standard and for a reasonable price. I would recommend and would use again.

Steven was friendly and efficient. We had the grouting replaced on our entrance bridge to our tenement in the New Town. Shortly after there was some leakage following a heavy rain which Steven responded to very quickly coming and fixing it. I would happily use them again.
