Sandstone Masonry Replacement Edinburgh
Professional sandstone replacement for homes and buildings across Edinburgh. Accurate assessments, quality materials, and careful craftsmanship.
When is Stone Replacement Necessary?
Stone repair is suitable for minor surface damage. However, when cracks, erosion, or decay become too advanced, full stone replacement is the only effective and long-lasting solution. We specialise in sandstone masonry replacement throughout Edinburgh, ensuring buildings are structurally sound and visually in keeping with their surroundings.
Our Stone Replacement Process
- Inspection & Assessment: We begin with a visual inspection from ground level or using drones. Where necessary, we use scaffolding or cherry pickers for a close-up evaluation.
- Identifying Defective Stonework: Our skilled masons assess each block’s condition, identifying stones that must be replaced due to cracking, spalling, or structural risk.
- Matching & Sourcing Sandstone: We source high-quality sandstone to match the colour and texture of the original stonework wherever possible.
- Precision Replacement: Damaged stones are carefully cut out and replaced with hand-carved new stones, tooled to match surrounding profiles and joint lines.
- Documentation: If the scope of works changes once scaffolding is in place, we document all findings and discuss any adjustments with our client before proceeding.

Stone Repair or Full Replacement?
Not all damaged stones need to be replaced. Minor damage may be treatable using Lithomex repair methods. However, when the stone is too deteriorated or risks affecting the building’s integrity, full replacement is the safest option. We offer guidance during a free site visit to determine what’s best for your property.
