Midland Masonry in short

Midland Masonry is a conservation and restoration specialist based at Bletchley near Market Drayton, working across Telford and the wider Midlands. Its homepage describes church, cathedral, castle and country estate work in traditional materials, covering stonemasonry, brickwork, terracotta repair and stone cleaning. The firm traces its craft history to the late sixties and trades behind Powa Pak Cleaners Ltd, on the company record since the mid-eighties. In our judgement, that combination of conservation focus and checkable history is what sets it apart at the top of this round.

Customer evidence is solid without being deep: the firm holds 4.8 from 12 Google reviews. The site also shows a long roll of scheme marks on its homepage, including CHAS, SafeContractor, Constructionline Gold, CITB and CSCS. We rate the breadth of that stated membership, alongside the conservation portfolio, as the firm's clearest strength.

What counts against it is paperwork rather than craft. No insurance detail appears on the site, and no prices, rates or VAT position are published, with phone and email the only quote routes. Our verdict is that Midland Masonry suits anyone responsible for a church, an estate or a listed building who wants an experienced conservation hand and is comfortable requesting the missing paperwork with the quote. This review finds the craft record strong and the published pricing detail thin.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Midland Masonry suits you if you want an experienced hand for historic stonework, brickwork or lime-mortar repairs, backed by decades of conservation work and a checkable company record [1] [3]. The gaps are paperwork: no insurance details and no pricing information published [1] [2].

Questions about Midland Masonry

Is Midland Masonry any good?

For conservation stonework, yes on the record: top of our Telford stonemasons table, 4.8 from 12 Google reviews, and a craft history stretching back decades with churches, castles and estates in the portfolio. Gaps sit in paperwork, with no insurance detail and no prices published. Read the full review and its sources, then phone or email with photos of the stonework for a quote.

Where does Midland Masonry work?

From Bletchley near Market Drayton, with Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Derby and Nottingham all named in its stated service area. Conservation commissions routinely travel, so distance matters less than fit for the building. Send your postcode with the building's age and listing status to confirm you are covered before going further.

How do I get a quote from Midland Masonry?

By phone or email, the two contact routes its site publishes alongside a full postal address. Have photos of the stonework ready with the building's age, listing status and access detail, since conservation estimates depend on seeing the fabric. Ask for the itemised price, the timescale and proof of cover together in the written reply.

What do its reviews say?

The firm holds 4.8 from 12 Google reviews, a solid but shallow base that reads as steady approval rather than a tested pattern. No other review platform returned a listing we could read. That record supports the ranking alongside the scheme marks and trading history rather than on its own. Read a spread of the reviews yourself before you enquire.

How does it compare with the other Telford stonemasons?

It leads Broseley Memorials on all-round file strength while serving a different job entirely: conservation repairs rather than headstones. Against Arcadian Restoration, the other building-stone firm, it brings deeper reviews and longer history. The two worktop makers and the memorial firms suit different needs altogether. Read the reviews, then match the firm to your job.

How is Midland Masonry ranked?

It ranks first of the seven stonemasons in our September round, scoring highest across customer evidence, scheme membership on record, trading history and pricing and website detail. Conservation depth and a checkable company record lift it above a strong memorial field. Firms appear in score order. Read the full review, then request your itemised quote.

Does it take on listed buildings?

Its portfolio centres on churches, cathedrals, castles and estates, work that often involves listed structures and traditional materials such as lime mortar. Where your building is listed or stands in a conservation area, the council's planning team confirms whether consent is needed before work starts. Raise the listing status in your first message so the estimate reflects it.
