Yorkshire and stone go hand in hand. From characterful period cottages to grand stone-built terraces, much of the region’s charm is built quite literally from local stone — and working with it properly takes real skill and respect for tradition. At Buraak Construction, our masons handle everything from brand-new stone walls and features to the careful repointing and restoration of older properties, blending time-honoured technique with modern durability.
Stonework done badly stands out for all the wrong reasons. Done well, it looks like it’s always belonged. That’s the standard we work to whether we’re building a new boundary wall or restoring weathered masonry to its former strength.
Stone walling — New natural and reconstructed stone walls, from garden boundaries to feature walls.
Stone cladding — Adding stone facing to give character, warmth and value to a property.
Repointing — Raking out failed mortar and repointing with the correct mix to protect and preserve stonework.
Restoration — Sympathetic repair and restoration of period and stone-built properties, preserving their character.
Landscaping stonework — Steps, retaining walls, paving and stone features for gardens and outdoor spaces.
We begin by assessing the existing stone and understanding the look you want to achieve. For restoration, we identify the right materials and mortar mix to match the original. We then carry out the work carefully and cleanly, taking the time to get joints, coursing and finishes right because with stone, the detail is everything.
