FRENCH & SON STONE CONSERVATION
COVERING DEVON AND SOMERSET
French and son are a family business of stonemasons based near Exeter and covering Devon, Somerset and Dorset. We specialise in the conservation of Historic Buildings and Churches.
A RECENT PROJECT
EXETER CATHEDRAL, CHAPTER HOUSE FLOOR
In 2021 we removed all of the Purbeck Stone paving in the Chapter House of Exeter Cathedral to allow under floor heating to be installed. Afterwards we re-laid the floor to a tight schedule.
We also took up paving in the choir to allow archaeological investigations to go ahead.
TESTIMONIALS
Andy and Aidan have helped us out multiple times at the cathedral and always do a fantastic job fitting to the quality required at such an importantly historic building. Large and small projects we have asked them to do and always the same standard coming from Andy’s vast experience and knowledge. Highly recommend.
