Local repointing job in Thongsbridge. We used lime, a soft sand and an aggregate sand to give a nice, traditional finish whilst complimenting the stone.

A recent job completed in Leeds. The perfect base for a pizza oven with storage underneath. To the left we created a prep and serving counter. This is a great addition to anyone’s garden for the summer!

Despite the cold weather it has been a very busy start to the year.

Myself and KJV Masonry and Plastering have recently completed a nice local job in Huddersfield. We dismantled a section of the wall and relocated the gate post creating a larger drive entry. After speaking to the client, I decided to make and gift him a hand carved number plaque to add a finishing touch.

It was great to see his reaction and to see how pleased he was with the overall look of his new drive.

Good evening!

Myself and KJV Masonry and Plastering have been rebuilding a wall that had fallen in an old conservation area of Leeds. It was lovely to speak to some of the locals and to see how pleased they were that the wall was finally being repaired to such a high standard.

We hope you are all ready for Christmas and looking forward to the big day 🎄

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

In Flanders Fields

A few pointing jobs that have been completed over the last few weeks. These were all repointed using Lime Motar which is more beneficial to the stone.

Really enjoyed carving this plaque for a home in York. Myself and KJV Masonry and Plastering then completed the job by cutting out and fixing it into the wall⚒️

Thank you to the lovely couple that made us feel welcome throughout the job.
