Expert Stonework in Gloucester
At Norton Stone & Masonry, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern precision to create stonework that endures. Serving clients in Gloucester, London, and Bath, our team delivers bespoke masonry projects that range from decorative carvings to large-scale structural work. Every piece of stone we work with is selected for quality, durability, and character, ensuring results that are both functional and aesthetically exceptional.
Timeless Stone, Distinctive Spaces
Our work often features Cotswold and Bath stone, both prized for colour, texture, and longevity. These materials lend themselves to a variety of applications, from intricate carvings to structural elements, blending seamlessly with both historic properties and contemporary designs.
Crafting Masonry With Precision
From building walls and chimneys to patios and decorative features, our masonry is a testament to skill and attention to detail. Each project is meticulously planned, combining both traditional hand techniques and precision machine cutting. Whether laying stone for structural integrity or shaping elements for visual impact, our goal is a flawless finish that stands the test of time.
Hand and Machine Cutting Tools
Our stonemasons are trained in both classic hand carving and modern machine-assisted techniques. Hand tools allow for delicate detailing, essential when creating bespoke elements such as cornices or ornamental stonework. Machine cutting tools provide consistency and efficiency for larger surfaces and structural components, allowing us to meet the highest standards on every project.
Carving Figures and Decorative Stonework
From gargoyles to ornamental panels, our bespoke stone carvings showcase the artistry of master stonemasons. Every figure is carefully designed and executed, respecting historical accuracy when required, or created to meet a client’s individual vision. Our carvings enhance buildings, gardens, and monuments, providing a timeless focal point that elevates any setting.
Steps, Tombs, and Headstones
Stone steps, tombs, and headstones are crafted with the same attention to durability and elegance as our other projects. We consider every aspect, from structural integrity to finishing details, ensuring each piece serves its purpose while reflecting the beauty of the material. Reclaimed and locally sourced stone is used wherever possible, blending seamlessly into the environment and adding character to heritage settings.
Bringing Stonework to Life
Every stone we shape is the result of a deliberate choice, combining traditional methods with contemporary standards. Norton Stone & Masonry takes pride in delivering projects across Gloucester, Bath, and London that demonstrate meticulous craftsmanship and a respect for the history and context of each property.
