About Us
Welcome to Brian Hill’s Stonemasonry
I specialise in the creation of custom-built, hand carved, architectural masonry for classic and contemporary installations. A natural extension of my service includes the restoration and preservation of building and projects from exterior to interiors.
With over 35 years in the trade my skillset also encompasses all service based skills such as restoration, stone cleaning, paint removal, walling and repointing.
My workshop is based in Bristol in the South West of England, yet I travel the length and breadth of the UK, working on site serving domestic, private sector and commercial clientele.
I provide free estimates, a friendly no nonsense service and free expert advice. Please contact me to share the project that you have in mind.

“Brian is a true craftsman who loves his work and will go out of his way to solve any technical problems that he meets, all at a reasonable cost.”
Nigel Harrison
“Brian Hill did a fantastic job for us. He turned up exactly when he said he would, he delivered the product exactly when he said he would, the price was the original price quoted, and the final product was excellent. I can ask for nothing more, i can highly recommend Brian.“
Paul Barden
“‘Brian Hill fitted two new stone fireplaces in our lounge and dining room. In the first instant we found Brian to be engaging and informative providing useful tips and advice on what we should consider. Methodical and diligent in approach Brian quickly translated our design into a detailed and accurate plan, taking the time to get the detail right. While we encountered some build difficulties Brian also remained patient and despite having to wait 6 months before he completed the fit and received payment he never complained.”
Samantha Lewis
“We found Brian’s workmanship and eye for detail impeccable: he was tidy, punctual and courteous which coupled with his professional acumen made for a very successful working relationship and final product. The fireplaces look amazing and are fine centre pieces of both rooms. Highly recommended!”
Neal Green BSc (Hons) MRICS MAPM
“Brian worked on the cleaning and restoration of our stone fronted house in Cotham, Bristol. Being a Chartered Building Surveyor and having managed the restoration of many listed buildings in my career, I had very high standards for Brian to meet. Brian was an absolute pleasure to deal with and the standard of his work is exemplary. He met my timescales and worked to my budget. I am extremely happy with the result and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending his services”.
Samantha & Matthew Lewis
“I wanted to thank you most sincerely for the lovely job you have done renovating our stone windows, designing and making our three new fireplaces. A special thank you for juggling your workload and stepping in at such short notice after I’d been let down by another Stonemason. It was a pleasure having you work for us. Good luck with your business, you deserve it. Wouldn’t hesitate to use you again! Thank you.“
A J Moore
“Brian Hill completely rebuilt a very large, old stone wall in our garden. The wall had been destroyed by a huge ivy root running through the middle of it. We are so pleased with the result it looks fantastic! Brian is extremely conscientious, professional, trustworthy and reliable and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him or his work.”
