Stone walls, facades and features built by genuine specialists — serving Tiverton and the surrounding Mid Devon area from our Barnstaple base.
Tiverton is the largest town in Mid Devon, and for the right project — particularly barn conversions and heritage work — we're happy to travel from our North Devon base.
A historic wool town with Tiverton Castle, the Grand Western Canal and streets of period merchant houses, Tiverton and the Exe valley farmland around it hold a rich stock of traditional buildings.
Mid Devon District Council oversees a large number of listed buildings in and around Tiverton, and the surrounding villages are full of stone farmhouses and barns that demand traditional skills.
Stonework is in our name for a reason. From boundary and retaining walls to full stone facades, patios, steps and structural repairs, natural stone is the core of what G Stanbury Building Services does — and there's a visible difference between stone laid by specialists and stone laid by general builders having a go.
We build new stonework, repair and rebuild old walls, face buildings in natural stone and construct retaining structures engineered to hold for decades. Every job is coursed, jointed and pointed properly, with stone selected to suit the building and its surroundings.
Because we run our own plant and machinery, we handle everything around the stonework too — excavation, footings, drainage behind retaining walls — so the structure below ground is as sound as the face you see.



A large part of our work comes through architects, and it shows in how we operate: we price accurately from drawings, build exactly what's been designed, raise the practical questions early rather than mid-build, and keep sites clean and organised enough to walk a client around at any point. If your stonework in Tiverton is architect-designed, we're comfortable being tendered against anyone.
The capability behind that is unusual for a contractor our size: stonework specialists in-house, our own plant and machinery, and experience across heritage restoration, full stone new builds and complex structural work. From a commercial natural stone facade for Tesco Express to complete barn conversions and coastal builds, the same in-house team carries every project — which is why the finish is consistent and the programme holds.
Stonework, brickwork, groundworks and finishing handled by our own team — not a chain of subcontractors.
Diggers, dumpers and machinery owned and operated by us, which keeps rural and awkward sites moving.
Traditional masonry is the heart of the business — the standard of our stonework carries through every job.

“Absolutely stunning work”
— Craig Cronin“Transformed our garden completely”
— Melissa Barker“Exceeded every expectation”
— D. NewmanEverything from garden and boundary walls to large retaining structures, full stone facades on new builds and extensions, patios, steps, piers and repairs to existing stonework.
Yes — partial rebuilds, repointing and full reconstruction. We match the existing stone and coursing so repairs blend in rather than standing out.
We do. Retaining walls are only as good as what's behind and beneath them, so we handle the excavation, footings and drainage ourselves with our own machinery.
It depends entirely on the stone, the height and length, and the ground conditions — so we quote every job individually. Call George on 07841 933038 for a free, no-obligation quote.
