IMC Stonemasons

Did an excellent job on the stonework building garden steps and forming a new external doorway in a tenement flat. Stone matches nicely. Some delays in starting the project due to overrun on previous jobs. Would definitely use again for a job that demands a high-quality approach.

Iain and the team recently carried out some repairs to our front facade which included two mullion replacements to our bay window, mortar repairs and lithomix repairs to the base of our bay window. We are really pleased with the end result. The guys were friendly, professional, efficient and carried out the work to a really high standard. We had to wait a while for the work to begin, but once started it was undertaken with speed and ease, with Iain communicating well throughout the process. Would not hesitate to recommend or to use again.

Carried out all the work as per quote. Good and trusted tradesmen. Did all the work required and more. Cleaned up at the end of the work. This is the second time I have used this company. Well worth recommending

IMC stonemasons recently repointed my rear garden wall the service and workmanship Iain and his team provided was excellent, professional and done within the timeframe they provided. Cannot fault them at all wonderful service high quality work for great price and super friendly and professional. 5***

On 1 January 2022, someone drove an Audi through our waist high front stone wall. The wall was smashed into individual stones along one side if the gate, the iron gate bent out of shape. Not the best start to the New Year that I’ve ever had.

Iain and his team took immense care to replace the wall with high quality stone materials, prepared by hand to match the detailing on the other side of the gate, perfect rendering and even got a blacksmith along to fix the gate. Work was communicated well, the team polite, tidy and on time and the finished work (once aged) will be indistinguishable from the other half of the wall. Highly recommend.

Iain and his team built a new wall for us as well as repointing an old wall. All the guys were very friendly and efficient. They are real craftsmen and the result is a thing of beauty. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Extremely happy with quality of work done - Iain and team replaced cills, lintels, copes and jambs, huge pieces of stone in tricky positions. The team were always professional, exacting and cheerful, despite a tricky job.

IMC Stonemasons were employed to carry out building services as I was building an extension. They dug out the area and laid foundations. They also laid all the bricks and carried out the "knock though"
At all times the communication was great and any problems were overcome with the minimum of fuss. I had total confidence in their proffesionalism and couldn't be happier with the services.
Honest, skilled and reliable tradesmen. What more could you ask for?

We have used IMC Stonemasons over a number of years on numerous projects and have always found their work and service to be 1st class.

Replaced 2 cills at back of house & stonework underneath these
Added 2 custom made iron grills at front of house & pointed stonework.
Very happy with the work done.

Excellent service, Iain arranged for one of the team to repoint our garden wall, the work was of very high quality and was exactly as quoted. Would recommend. Great company.

Very good job done By lain and his men.

Extremely happy with works carried out on my garden wall.
Very professional, neat and tidy. Would recommend.

Iain is very much in demand in the city and as one of the leading main contractors in Edinburgh, we have been looking to try out IMC's skills.
They did not disappoint. Iain and all the guys that worked on our project were highly skilled and very professional.
looking forward to maintaining this relationship on the next project

Building a stone rubble wall in conservation area outside our house .
Far exceeded our expectations..workmanship is truly amazing ...all our neighbours have commented ..taken photos to show others ...highly recommend IMC Stonemason’s to anyone

Stonework around windows third floor flat
Clearance of gutters
efficient quality job done.
very satisfied

Good communication. Easy to deal with. Prompt and with good pricing. No hesitation to recommend.

The heavy wrought-iron gate at the entrance to our property came off its hinges due to crumbling stone-work. IMC dismantled the stone arch-way and re-built sections of wall either side of the arch adding five new stones and worked with a black-smith to re-rehang the gate.
The job was completed according to original estimate with adjustments to account for the new stones, and the site left neat and tidy at the end of each working day.
We are very happy with the end result.
IMC have done a lot of work in the Grange area of Edinburgh and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Re-masticking of 7 old sash windows, one new window cill, and organised 3 broken window panes to be replaced. Excellent, fast and friendly, as usual.

IMC rebuilt our chimney stack in February 2019. We were lucky with the weather, which meant that when they started the job, they were on site everyday and finished the job quickly. They re-used original stone, when possible, which not only helped to keep costs down, but retained the character of the house, which was built in 1823.

The team were punctual each morning and completed the work with minimal disruption to ourselves and tided up the site at the end of the job removing all rubbish etc.

Iain sent emails at each stage of the work in progress to ourselves and our neighbours, with whom we share the stack, to keep us informed of the progress, which I found really helpful.

I can highly recommend IMC to anyone considering their services.

A delight to deal with right from the start; an excellent job done on time and on budget. Thank you.

Professional job done by someone willing to answer questions and discuss to help us agree right work to be done.

Very reliable, and kept their word. Kept us up to date and workers very clean and helpful too.

Great workers to have around. Careful to protect floors, polite and approachable. I would definitely recommend to others.

Very helpful over a very small repair required to a garden wall. Was able to provide reclaimed sandstone which blended in with the existing stonework.

Excellent workmanship, quick responses to any matters we asked about and overall very good service. We would not hesitate to recommend them.

I can’t recommend Iain and his friendly colleagues enough. They have done some really lovely stonework on our old house. Tidy and on time, I have recommended them to plenty of other.

A very sensible approach to the task of working with old structures, where it is quite difficult to predict in advance what you will have to deal with. Also a good communicator - so, no surprises! - which is always very important. So the project was easy to manage together.

The stonemasons themselves were skilled at the job, happy to explain what was involved, and to discuss how best to approach details. We were very happy to have them around the property too.

We wanted a sensitive approach to repair and making good our crumbly old wall, and this is what we were provided with. We'd be happy to recommend them - and already have!

Friendly workmen, prompt service, good quality result.

Used IMC to replace a defective lintel above my bedroom window. They provided a reasonable quote - was the middle of the 3 I got. Good communication and very professional. Once I had decided to use them, the work was booked in quickly and carried out very professionally, and finished quickly. Didn't notice any mess so there was either none or it was cleaned up. No complaints with the work carried out, the replacement lintel seems perfect with no issues at all. Would highly recommend them

IMC Stonemasons were a pleasure to deal with. They turned up when they said, and completed the job without any drama. We are delighted with the wall they built - It compliments the existing stonework & has enhanced the look of our garden. Well done !

IMC have been a pleasure to work with. Right from the start the advice at quotation stage, the approach to the conservation of our B listed building, the quality of the workmanship, and friendliness of his team. Whilst stonework is never a clean or quiet process they always tidied up, were considerate and always turned up when they said they would! In particular the ability to replace the single piece stone mullions like for like was important to us which many competitors were unable to do.
We are very happy with the outcome of the work to the front facade and will be using them again for the next phases including the rear facade and chimneys.

Iain and his team have been excellent. They arrived promptly and completed the work efficiently with a high quality of craftsmanship.

Many Thanks,

Trish

The IMC stonemasons were polite, efficient - and did an excellent job.

by the standards of tradesmen, reasonably reliable. Work adhered to the discussed details. The workmen cleaned up fairly well after themselves.

Very happy with the work done and would certainly use and recommend IMC Stonemasons in the future.

Although the work took a little longer than planned the quality of the workmanship was excellent. Iain was very accommodating and was quick to respond to changes or requests.

IMC Stonemasons have carried out various repair and upgrade works here at our devlopment recently and we have found them to be very professional, provide an excellent service and good value for money.
i would recommend them to anyone looking for a local company that provides a quality service at an affordable price.

We have used IMC for a few pieces of work and they did an excellent job each time. Dealing with Iain McArthur and his team is always a pleasure.

I have recommended Iain to others already. Excellent work, considerate careful attitude, very dependable and helpful, very fair prices.

I am the Chief Engineer in a busy 5 star Hotel in Edinburgh and contracted IMC Stonemasons to carry out some stonework repairs. They started and finished the project on time with to a high standard .

IMC Stonemasons gave a very good and thorough service from quote to completion , the standard of work was very high and happy to recommend based on the work done.
