About us
Stonehenge Masonry was founded in 1997 by Richard
Smith, the company is run as a small business and most of the work undertaken
is provided by word of mouth. Based on on the philosophy of all work is a
partnership between Richard Smith and the client, working together to gain the
very best possible result, taking all factors into consideration, both artistic
and financial.
Although the company has only been founded since 1997,
Richard has been practising the art of Stonemasonry ever since leaving school
in 1984, when he took up an apprenticeship and college training, he has since
gone on to further and hone his skills. During his career to date Richard has
stonework spread from near his home in Somerset, to as far afield as Miami
Florida.
The company is based in Wellington, Somerset which has proved to be
an ideal base for Richard where he lives with his wife Donna and his two children. Somerset which
seems to have its' fair share of stately homes and historical buildings, proves
to be a continual challenge with regards to the jobs he is asked to
undertake.
Most of the work undertaken by the company is to provide the
finest hand carved natural stones (to which there are 215 variations available
in Great Britain) both to fellow members of the profession and domestic
customers alike.
Another side of the company is to clean (using the
appropriate methods and cleaning materials) stone features and buildings. Where
necessary the features are restored to their
original state using a combination of old and new techniques of cutting in,
renewing or replacing the unrecoverable features to provide a flawless
finish.
All work that is undertaken by Richard Smith is treated with the
utmost care and consideration and the finest detail to authenticity, to ensure
each task small and large is completed to the highest standard
possible.
