Specialists in Flint / Stone Brickwork & Building Restoration
Flint Work Styles
There are many different styles of flint work, usually varied from village to village and other styles on the same estates. Some flint was used as a cheap way to produce housing for farm workers up to the grand statements on many large flint houses.
Lime Mortar
Lime mortar has been used since Roman times and is still the best mortar for flint and indeed restoration. Adding different aggregates can produce very different finishes and colour. Berry stonework can offer a mortar analysis to get the most precise mix for matching an old mortar mix.
Restoration
Restoration can be the most challenging but rewarding work. It gives buildings and walls a new lease of life, hopefully lasting another couple of hundred years. Having been involved in many projects for the National Trust, Duncan feels it is a privilege to be able to carry out his trade on these buildings.
What we Do
Berry Stonework has been operating since 2015, However, Duncan Berry has been building with flint for nearly thirty years and has worked on many prestigious projects. Before setting up Berry stonework.
Duncan spent nine years in New Zealand working with stone on mainly contemporary projects. Before this, he was involved in a very successful flint work company in Sussex.
Things have gone very well since returning from New Zealand and Duncan has reconnected with many previous clients and tradespeople and still retains a passion for the work he carries out. Another area that is going well is training staff. Callum who has been with us since college is turning into a fine tradesman and producing some outstanding work.
