We're building about 650 m² of stone-faced retaining and boundary walls for McGinty & O'Shea Ltd on Cork County Council's Water Rock Road upgrade. The walls go up to 1.8 m high with castellated coping, and we're re-using the stone from the old roadside walls.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are you insured?

Yes. We have public liability and employers' liability insurance, and we can send you the certificates if you need them.

How is stonework priced?

Most stonework is measured and priced by the square metre, with entrances, pillars and copings measured separately. You'll get a written quote showing what's included before any work starts.

What areas do you cover?

We're based in Cork and work the length and breadth of the county, East and West Cork included, and around Munster. For bigger contracts we'll travel anywhere in the country.

How long does a job take?

It depends on the size of the job, the stone and the finish. After the site visit we'll give you a timescale with the written quote, so you'll know how long the job will take before we start.

Do you work as a subcontractor for main contractors?

Yes. We're an Irish limited company, registered for RCT, and we work as a specialist stonework subcontractor on civil engineering schemes and housing developments, as well as private work for homeowners.

What kinds of stone do you work with?

Irish natural stone from all over the country: limestone, sandstone, granite, slate, quartzite and Liscannor stone, as well as reclaimed stone. We do both mortared and dry stone work, and use lime mortar on older walls and buildings.
