In 2014 I started T J Ferris Stonemasonry to focus on projects that offered new challenges and experiences in the field. Since then, we have gone from strength to strength working on variety of buildings and structures including some of the finest estates and homes developing our skills and expertise,  and applying these to each job we undertake.

In 2015 we restored Ayton Castle’s Dovecot, the oldest structure in Ayton leading to a contract on the castle lasting for years, later we undertook major conservation work to Coldingham Priory which is the oldest building we have worked on and very historically important.

We have built our reputation on delivering the highest standard of craftsmanship with outstanding customer service at an affordable price. As a family business we have over 60 years of stonemasonry and general building experience helping us take projects from imagination or plans through to delivery no matter what challenges may arise on the way.

Whether undertaking an extension, walled garden restoration, new build home or the conservation of a historic church we take pride in our work and respect our clients and their buildings. Through developing strong relationships throughout the industry and wider community we aim to improve the image of construction and develop cleaner more responsible practices.

Whether you are interested in one of the stonemasonry and building services we provide,  would like to discuss career opportunities or just want some advice on any stone or building issue we look forward to hearing from you.

Thomas and his team replaced some stones on the exterior wall of my listed house and removed some crumbling mortar before fixing the gaps. The end result is great – it blends in with the rest of the building perfectly and they were professional throughout the process. They worked quickly and efficiently, sticking to their promised time frame and budget!

I’ve known of Tom Ferris and his work for some time. I have used him for private work on my property – which this review covers – but as a Trustee of a Grade A heritage property in the Borders, I have recommended and used him for work on that elevated level of craftsmanship. I have also seen his work on at least three other Grade A properties. I regularly recommend him to Boards of Trustees and private individuals who own heritage properties. He worked for me on a private project, creating a curved wall as part of a new remodelling of an area of my property. He produced a result that is frequently praised by those who see it for the first time.

Prompt, friendly and business like, Thomas checked out, assessed and estimated for repair of a dangerous broken step at the bottom of our common stairwell. Ahead of schedule and, at short notice, he resolved our problem to everyone’s satisfaction. TJF Stonemasonry is local to the Canongate and we would be more than happy to avail ourselves of their splendid services again. Highly recommended.

Tom was recommended to me by several people and I am glad I went with their recommendations. He is obviously highly experienced and the end result is fantastic. I didn’t really know what I needed but Tom advised me how it should be done. He is very flexible and keeps you informed of how and when is best to carry out the work, taking care to consider weather conditions. A true professional!

Stone walling altered and gate inserted in 6 ft high wall. Also dry stone walling repaired.

Thomas did the work brilliantly. His workmanship is precise and to be admired.

I would not use anyone else for any further work we will from time to time need doing on our cottage and walled gardens.
