Stoneworker Overview

Stonemasons shape and prepare stone for use in construction, restoration and decorative work. They can work on a wide range of projects or focus on particular types of masonry. Banker masons usually work in workshops, cutting and shaping stone ready for installation.

Carvers create decorative designs and lettering in stone, while fixer masons install prepared stone onto buildings and other structures. Memorial masons produce and restore gravestones, tombs and inscriptions. Stonemasons work with a variety of materials, including granite, marble, slate, limestone and sandstone.

Types of Stone Masonry

Stone veneer masonry uses a relatively thin layer of stone as a decorative or protective facing for walls and other surfaces. Rubble masonry uses roughly dressed stones laid in mortar, while ashlar masonry uses carefully cut and dressed stone.

Slipform stone masonry uses temporary formwork to help contain stone and mortar while a wall is constructed. Memorial masonry involves creating and restoring headstones, gravestones, tombstones and other memorials using materials such as granite, marble, slate and natural stone.

Choosing a Stonemason

If you are looking for a memorial mason, you can check whether they are registered with the British Register of Accredited Memorial Masons (BRAMM). BRAMM maintains a register of memorial masons and sets requirements for those included on the register.

For other types of stonework, you can also check whether the stonemason belongs to a relevant trade organisation, such as the Guild of Master Craftsmen or the Federation of Master Builders where applicable. Membership requirements vary between organisations, so check what the membership or accreditation involves rather than relying on membership alone.

Before hiring a stonemason, compare several written quotes, ask to see examples of previous work and check customer feedback where available. Make sure the quotation clearly explains the materials, work involved, timescale and total price.
