What Our Clients Say

“R-V Stonemasons did a great job lime pointing three internal granite walls for us over the summer. Russell listened to what we wanted and went the extra mile by sourcing materials we suggested from his yard. The end result looks fantastic. Russell is very reliable and provided great updates about the progress of the work. This was the second project R-V Stonemasons has done for us and we will definitely ask him back for the next one. Thanks for the hard work, highly recommended.”

“I recently had Russ and Tony from RV Stonemasons build me a new granite wall to replace the old hedge that fronted my house, and I couldn't be happier with the result. The transformation is absolutely stunning! The new wall has completely changed the look of the property, adding to its character and spicing up its curb appeal drastically. Russ was professional from start to finish. His attention to detail and skill were clear in every stage of the work, and the finished wall is solid, beautifully built, and perfectly in keeping with the old house. He was also incredibly tidy, making sure everything was cleared up each day and leaving the area spotless when the job was done. I'd highly recommend RV Stonemasons to anyone looking for top-quality stonework and a genuinely professional tradesman.”

“Very highly recommend Russ from R-V Stonemasons as he is very passionate and his work is to a very high standard. He has done two fireplaces as well as the outside of the house.”

“We couldn't be happier with the work Russ from R-V stonemasons has done for us. He lime pointed our chimneys and cottage to an excellent standard, and we're absolutely delighted with the finished result. Russ was incredibly reliable, tidy and professional throughout. He kept us informed every day about how things were progressing when we were off island, which was really reassuring, and we always felt we could trust him completely. He's also a very honest and genuine person, which made the whole experience so easy. It's not often you find someone who combines excellent workmanship with honesty, reliability and a great personality. Russ is a real perfectionist and takes huge pride in his work, also making his own lime mortar. We would highly recommend Russ to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy and conscientious stonemason. Thanks again, Russ — fantastic job!”

“Recently, RV stonemasons completed the restoration of an old granite fireplace for us. The fireplace was covered up by bricks for many years and very dirty. Russell managed the entire project, from sourcing matching granite to rebuild the fireplace, to arranging the delivery and installation of a new oak lintel, as well as organising a sandblaster to clean the stonework. The work area was kept very clean and tidy and Russell updated us regularly about the progress of the work. The end result looks amazing and we are very happy about how the fireplace is brought back to life. We have used RV Stonemasons now for several granite restoration projects and will definitely use them again. Highly recommend!”

“Repointed the gable and chimney of our granite cottage as we had leaks. Russell is reliable, professional, and tidy. The new lime pointing looks great and there are no more leaks.”

“After an absolute nightmare experience with a previous company, Kalmac, Russ at RV Stonemasons has completely restored my faith in tradesmen. I own a (nearly) 500-year-old granite fireplace and chimney which Kalmac effectively ruined. They coated the entire thing in StormDry, leaving the granite with an awful permanent wet-look finish, used cement instead of proper lime mortar on a period property, and even painted over the fireplace mortar with white cement to disguise damp issues they hadn't actually resolved. In the end, they were unable to fix the damage they caused. Thankfully, I found Russel. From day one, he approached the job properly, respectfully, and with genuine care for the building. He organised everything seamlessly — scaffolding, specialist sandblasting, even beautiful new lighting — and then worked tirelessly to painstakingly rake out, rebuild, repoint, and repair the years of damage caused by the previous company. The difference is unbelievable. The fireplace and chimney now look authentic again and, more importantly, have been restored correctly using appropriate materials and techniques. Russ is personable, incredibly hardworking, meticulous, exceptionally tidy, and very reasonably priced considering the quality of the workmanship. Nothing was too much trouble, and it's obvious he genuinely takes pride in what he does. I honestly wouldn't use anyone else going forward and cannot recommend RV Stonemasons highly enough. If you care about quality craftsmanship and want someone who actually understands historic stonework and period properties, Russ is your man.”

“R-V Stonemasons has to be the top granite specialist in the Channel Islands. Russell always goes beyond what is asked of him. He is clean, tidy professional and his attention to detail is second to none. He has incredibly high standards and is an incredibly skilled craftsman. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing granite work.”

“Russell and his team handled every aspect of my project with a high level of professionalism and a personal touch.”

“I'm absolutely delighted with the results of my new entrance, completed by R-V Stonemasons. Russell takes great pride in his work and delivers perfection from start to finish. He always ensures that the best-quality Jersey granite is used, and the craftsmanship really shows. I'm particularly pleased with the finished result - a beautiful new door entrance with stunning stone walls, flagstones and two beautiful reclaimed Jersey pink granite steps. I would highly recommend R-V Stonemasons to anyone looking for quality workmanship, attention to detail and a truly professional finish. I couldn't be happier with my new entrance!”
