Staves Stonemasonry is a historic building restoration and architectural masonry practice based in Craven Arms, Shropshire, led by banker mason Alex Staves. The firm works on church conservation, repairs to listed buildings, traditional hot lime pointing and bespoke hand-carved stone, using authentic materials and traditional methods.
Work ranges from dry stone walling to structural stabilisation of ecclesiastical buildings. Heritage consultations are also offered, along with a 24-hour emergency service for making unsafe masonry secure.
The practice covers Shropshire, Herefordshire, Wales and the Midlands, and takes on projects elsewhere in the UK. A good first call for owners, architects and contractors needing a craft mason on sensitive historic fabric.
