Stone Edge Conservation have for the past few years provided exemplary and quality building work, acting as a principal contractor serving some of Gerald Eve’s blue chip clients. Over the years we have come to rely on Stone Edge Conservation to deliver some outstanding projects given stringent time and budget constraints to which we would not hesitate to recommend Stone Edge Conservation to any of our clients.

The work at Rochester Cathedral, completed by Stone Edge Conservation, was to a very high standard and on time and to budget. We were very pleased with their work and in the professionalism shown by their operatives. It was a very satisfying project from all aspects. Given the success of last year’s project and our satisfaction with their work, we have asked Stone Edge Conservation to return this autumn to undertake restoration work to the Cathedral’s north nave clerestory.

Further to our meeting with the Cadogan Estate on 18th May 2016 I just wanted to say thank you for your efforts on this project which finished on time and on budget and I know that both our Client and Murray Birrell are very satisfied with the standards achieved.

Stone Edge Conservation displayed knowledge and pragmatism in carrying out the works and were courteous to all visitors. The works were carried out efficiently with a minimum of fuss.

The Academy was impressed with the helpful and flexible approach of Stone Edge Conservation's management team, their high quality of workmanship and attention to detail.

I was really grateful to Stone Edge for their reasonable approach to the changes of contract. Other contractors sometimes see changes of contract as an opportunity to apply exorbitant fees. Additional costs for this project were totally reasonable.
