  • Alasdair Mackenzie

    Founder/ Director/Stonemason

    Since starting the craft of stonework in 2006, Alasdair developed a genuine appreciation of the built heritage work around him.

    Undertaking training where possible, being part of a team and seeing a finished project designed and built led Alasdair to form Alasdair Mackenzie Stonemasonry Ltd in 2014.

    Working on diverse and interesting projects alongside architects, quantity surveyors, and large companies has helped Alasdair garner expertise in Consultation, Project and Site management.

    Currently, Alasdair is undertaking his advanced diploma in Stonemasonry and is grateful to have links with the Buildings Craft College London.

Testimonials

 

‘The installation of our new greenhouse was a big project for my wife and I and we searched for a stonemason who was also willing to organise all of the other necessary skilled tradesmen … we found Alasdair Mackenzie. His team worked extremely diligently and with great attention to detail, creating a beautiful sandstone wall that even the greenhouse installers, who encounter a large number of such structures, were very complimentary about.

‘Throughout the project Alasdair has been helpful, friendly and willing to go the extra mile to ensure we were happy with the final outcome. We certainly are, and the greenhouse is a joy that is much commented upon by visitors, while the plants … well, they’re thriving!’

Philip, Easter Ross.

 We are very grateful for his advice, skills, timekeeping and hard work! 

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
