Blockwork

Our Process

How It Works

01

Site survey & structural set-out

We carry out a measured site survey, check levels and load requirements, and confirm foundations, DPC positions and reinforcement details with the client or structural engineer.

02

Supply & build to specification

We supply the correct concrete blocks, mortar mixes and stainless-steel fixings, then construct walls, bond beams and grouted cores with accurate line, level and alignment.

03

Finish, check & handover

We complete any cavity ties, lintels and damp-proof courses, carry out structural checks, leave a snag list if needed and provide a written handover with care advice.

Attention to structural detail

Reinforced blockwork, grouted cores and correct mortar specification to ensure load paths, bond beams and DPCs meet structural needs.

What we build — TW Stonemasons install concrete blockwork for foundations, load-bearing walls, party walls, boundary walls and structural repair work. We use medium-density and thermal blocks as specified, install wall ties, lintels and reinforced bond beams where required, and grout cores or install stainless-steel reinforcement to produce a structurally sound build ready for plaster, render or cladding.

New build and repair — For new construction we coordinate with engineers and follow specified block sizes, mortar grades and DPC positions. For repair projects we match existing masonry where possible, stitch cracks, rebuild compromised sections and ensure new blockwork ties correctly into existing fabric. With 15 years on sites across Central Scotland including Edinburgh tenement conversions and Perthshire extensions, we deliver practical, long-lasting results.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We select block types to suit the project: medium-density dense blocks for load-bearing work, lightweight thermal or insulated blocks where thermal performance is required. Block choice follows the engineer’s specification or current building regulations for the intended use.
