How Elite Ensures Impeccable Restoration Work

So what makes Elite different from a rank and file builder? Perhaps most importantly, we make sure to meticulously source and match the right materials to maintain historical accuracy, and use traditional techniques such as dry stone walling and lime mortar pointing.

Our projects often involve repairing or replacing damaged paving stones, steps, and garden structures, brickwork restoration, and addressing of underlying issues like drainage or foundation instability. However, careful attention also needs to be given to preserve original craftsmanship, whether in cobblestone paths or ornate stone masonry.
