Combining 35 years of heritage expertise with cutting-edge drone technology, we provide Central Scotland with detailed RICS surveys and specialist stone inspections. From tenements to listed buildings, we make complex property data clear, interactive, and easy to act upon.
We aren't your typical surveying firm. At Stoneworks Surveyors, we bridge the gap between centuries-old craftsmanship and 21st-century technology. As a local, family-owned business, we understand that property decisions can be daunting. Whether you are buying a Victorian villa, managing a tenement, or maintaining a listed landmark, we provide the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
Expert Care for Central Scotland’s Traditional Buildings
Our heart lies in the built heritage of Scotland. We specialise in buildings constructed of stone and lime mortars—properties that require a nuanced understanding of traditional materials. Led by a specialist with over 35 years of experience in the built heritage sector, we don't just spot defects; we understand the root causes of decay in historic masonry.

High-Access Inspections Without the Scaffolding
Why hire a cherry picker or erect expensive scaffolding just to look at a chimney stack? Our CAA-authorised drone pilots have logged hundreds of flight hours over complex urban environments. We use high-resolution aerial imagery to identify defects in roofs, rainwater systems, and elevated masonry that are normally inaccessible.
"We know instinctively where to position our drones to capture the exact data a surveyor or architect needs to see."
Why Homeowners and Factors Trust Our Reports
We believe a survey report should be a tool, not a chore to read. We’ve moved away from dusty paper stacks in favour of interactive digital reporting.
- Zoomable Media: High-definition photos and videos of your roof and masonry.
- Device Friendly: View your report on a phone, tablet, or PC.
- Easy Sharing: One-click sharing for property factors or co-owners in shared tenements.
- Clear Priorities: We use plain language to help you identify what needs fixing now and what can wait.
Specialist Stone & Conservation Advice
If you are responsible for a church, a monument, or a period home, our stone condition surveys offer a deep dive into the health of your building's fabric. We inspect everything from mortar pointing to structural masonry, providing technical advice on sensitive repairs. If we find a hazard, we flag it immediately, ensuring the safety of both the building and the public.
We are proud to serve a diverse range of clients, including homeowners, estate agents, renewable energy providers, and local authorities, bringing the same level of professional rigour to every flight and every inspection.
