Heritage Stonemasonry
TRADITIONAL STONEWORK
Heritage Stonework
Evan Marker specialises in traditional and heritage stonemasonry, combining skilled craftsmanship with an understanding of the materials and construction methods used in older stone buildings.
Heritage work requires a considered approach. Rather than simply making old stonework look new, Evan Marker focuses on preserving its original character while carefully repairing and strengthening the stonework for the future.
Preserving the Craftsmanship of the Past
Older stone buildings were constructed using traditional materials and techniques that can differ considerably from modern construction. Evan Marker’s experience and specialist heritage training provide an understanding of how original stone, mortar and building elements work together. Wherever practical, existing materials are retained and repaired, with traditional techniques used to achieve a sympathetic and lasting result.
Respecting the Original Stonework
For Evan Marker, heritage stonemasonry is about more than restoring a building. It is also about preserving the traditional skills and craftsmanship that were used to create it. Through careful conservation, repair and traditional stonework, Evan Marker Stonework helps preserve South Australia’s stone buildings and structures for future generations.
