"Wayne Newlands of Newlands Stone and Build completed several masonry construction projects during the summer and autumn of 2021 at my converted schoolhouse property (built 1834) in the centre of our village. These included creating a new front garden with stone wall at the street, a new drive laid to pavers, and new flagstone walkway complete with gate installation. We are delighted with the quality of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and superior aesthetic improvement that resulted. Wayne is a thoroughly professional, trustworthy, and very amiable individual whom I would have no hesitation in recommending both from a business and personal standpoin."

"Newlands Stone and building completed works at 4 Macquare Farm Close during the 20th February to 10th March 2023
When we were in the process of purchasing the property, we were aware work would need to be completed soon after completion that the previous owner had not had opportunity to do. To inform us of additional costs of the purchase Wayne visited the property and provided a quote to have the work completed before we owned the property, with no guarantee of the job he spent a lot of time with us talking through what you need to know when buying a stone-built building. He was incredibly generous with his time, and we instantly liked him and hoped to work with him in the future.
Wayne repointed 2 sides of the property, removing the old and replacing with good. Whilst working around the front of the house Wayne noticed a hole around the waste, at no additional cost, he filled this gap to ensure we did not have any future problems with water leaking into the property.
On a personal level Wayne was professional, kind, helpful and kept us well informed throughout the process. We are so impressed with the work that he did for us that we are hopeful he will return to help us with another project. We have had many compliments on the work Wayne completed for us and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for a specialist in this field."

Mrs Charlie Hetheridge

"Newlands Stone and Build completed works at our office here in Weston over recent years. The most recent work was completed in April 2023. Not only did the owner Wayne do a great job making the building water-tight this time, but he did a great job restoring the front wall around the building some years ago. His work was impeccable and met the local Council's high standards (as our office is in a conservation area).
Wayne and his team were punctual, polite, tidy, very responsive and highly professional at all times. His move will be a real loss to the area, but a real gain to wherever he moves the business to."

Mr J M Smith

"Newlands Stone and Build completed two projects at our home.
The first project was completed in March 2021. The front entrance of our driveway needed widening. This involved the Bradstone wall and gatepost being removed on RHS and the gatepost rebuilt. Pavers were laid and the wooded retaining edge of the flowerbed reformed on a curve.
The second project was in February 2022 was in the back garden and involved hard landscaping and creating a seating area. The work involved removing and replacing the paving on walkway, creating a seating area, building a small retaining wall and creating steps to get up onto lawned area.
We are very pleased with the work carried out. Wayne was friendly, professional and hard working. He is a very knowledgeable stone mason and a family man. Wayne had a can-do attitude and several people looked at the first project and said it could not be done. Having had first-hand experience of his work we did not hesitate to ask Wayne to quote for the second project."

"Wayne Newland of Newlands Stone and Build completed building work at our house (address as above) over several weeks during April 2023.
These works involved replacing the entire two-storey bay window in our Edwardian family home. The old bay window frontage, which was in terrible condition, was removed and replaced with reconstituted stone. We are really pleased with the results and the quality of the work; it has transformed our house.
On a personal level we found Wayne, and all his team, to be very amenable, friendly and professional. He was very approachable and was quick to respond to any queries. They were very hard-working and such was their commitment that they worked in all weathers and worked on public holidays, even though there was no expectation or request from us that they should do so."

"Internal stone wall repaired to a good standard."

DavidD-2500

"My rear retaining wall was about to collapse into a poorly maintained garage on the other side and take my patio with it. I contacted Wayne, who diagnosed the main issues were a poorly built wall ln the other side and the collapse of the garage Wall. He built a new substantial wall on the other side, repointed the wall and topped with coping stones. A first-rate job with a minimum impact on us, quietly and efficiently got on with the job and clearing up afterwards, all done at a reasonable price. Cannot recommend Wayne any higher, Excellent Work"

"Took a while to get it started due to covid related material supply issues but well worth the wait. Wanted a stone wall to blend with existing walls, and Wayne has done a great job."

WillE-39

"Wayne did a great job of repairing our garden wall. He was friendly, polite and trustworthy - we could just leave him to get on with the job. He was very efficient, completing the work more quickly than expected, and was very neat and tidy too. We have used Wayne several times in the past and intend to do so again in the future. We highly recommend him to others as one of the 'good guys!'"
