This is a small section of sandstone coping with a seating for a simple baluster carved into the top. This is a replacement for some vandalised stonework in Grosvenor park in Chester.

One of our customers took a photo of Lotty and I the other day. Thank you Andy.

In this video, we see how we do our lettering in sandstone. The video starts with the setting out of the letter and then we see each letter being cut individually including the serifs.

This is how we made a double Gothic arch from start to finish. I took dimensions from a site survey and created a full set of working drawings in AutoCAD. I have included the full production with the exception of the sawing. The timer on the screen shows 12 hours of work, but I know there is some footage missing from when the GoPro battery ran out on a few occasions. Our stone mason uses a combination of power tools and hand tools. Power tools are used to remove waste as efficiently as possible, and a mallet and chisel are used for fine detail as they are still the best tools for the job.

Something a bit different for us this week. We were asked to make this little headstone to match one in a Church yard in Cheshire. It is handmade from British sandstone and hasn't been shipped from the other side of the world like 99% of modern memorials in local cemeteries. Improve our carbon footprint, buy local materials.

This is a video of just under 40 minutes work (speeded up) of our Stone Mason making a double Gothic arch out of one piece of stone. Here the gothic eyes are shaped and carved. This clip will become part of a longer video of the entire process from start to finish.

Waiting for me to take her to work this morning.

This is a fire pit seating area we have recently supplied. There are still steps and copings to make to finish off.

Dogs love a real fire.

We have recently been making window surrounds almost 2.7 meters long. The cills and lintels were made in one peace.

Altomont Townsend hasn’t lost it……. Well! Not yet anyway 😆

Some coping, caps and balls we recently supplied for a walled garden and pool.

This is a new build project we have been doing in Cheshire for a lovely customer.
