NDR has unique expertise in the field of stonemasonry and stone carving. We can also help with craft disciplines associated with stone buildings, such as carpentry/joinery, blacksmithing, lead glass and plasterwork.

A professionally well-founded structural survey or remedial work report can play a key role in gaining the approval of the national and regional heritage authorities for proposed building work. Such reports can also be decisive when applying for financial assistance for the actual performance of building works.

NDR can also train local craftspeople in specific skills, thereby helping to build centres of local competence that can be of use in subsequent restoration projects.

We hold courses and lectures, with or without practical demonstrations.
