The work carried out on our development site which included replacement of stone and cill restoration. It was carried out with impeccable attention to detail and Callum’s thorough understanding of the materials he was working with was that of a professional tradesman. The work carried out by Callum and his team has transformed the property. I will continue to use ‘Sheed Stonemasonry’ on all future projects and have recommended him to fellow colleagues.

Linda Cooper - Aberdour
Callum made a superb job of rebuilding and repointing my old stone cottage wall, built around 1840. The neighbours were just admiring it again today!
Not only that but he was a very clean and tidy worker, and so pleasant to deal with. I can recommend him, with no reserves at all.
