Plenty of information on dry stone walls as well as creatures and plants that colonise them.

The persistent rain in 2024 and little let up since has resulted in more walls down and with the shortage of wallers walls are often to be seen in a poor state of repair. Additionally there have been increases in the cost of materials, particularly patio slabs from India, but also cement and stone. Fuel costs are still high. Tom keeps his prices competitive and looks forward to working with old and new clients for years to come.
To complement the walling tom now undertakes Fencing work as well in West Oxfordshire and the nearby Cotswolds.

 After repair. |
This is a good example of a repair using the old stone. It is a field wall in Poffley End. It is illegal to remove old walls and repairs should use as much old stone as possible.

 Lime-mortared wall in Wantage. |
 After repair. |
Unusually this wall in Wantage had to be repaired with lime mortar. Note that the capping is quite different too.

 Rarely it is necessary to mortar, like this pillar. |
 This small pillar had to be mortared due to its position. But the cement is not likely to last more than 5 years or so. |
