Humphries Stonemasons

This is the second time I have had Humphries install a wood burner in our house and the service is just as good as the last time. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Would definitely recommend.

Barry and his team removed an open fireplace and installed a wood-burning stove and new flue liner to the chimney. They also made us a new limestone fire surround and granite hearth. This was all arranged through a difficult period of persistent lockdowns which made it difficult at times to source materials. The process of scoping and pricing the project was very accurate and the work was completed to budget and in the time stated. It was all done remotely as we couldn't travel to the house due to the latest lockdown. Thanks to Chris for managing remotely and keeping me updated via photographs and phone calls during the installation. Thanks also to Christine in the office who fielded many phone calls and kept me informed on progress with sourcing the wood-burner and other items. We are very pleased with the results even though we haven't yet been able to travel and try it all out.

We wanted to create a False Chimney Breast to house a Wood Burner in our Lodge as the property had no chimney. We contacted Humphries who came out and listened to what we wanted and we have ended up with exactly the outcome we wanted to achieve. It has been an exceptional level of service and workmanship. We would have no hesitation in recommending or using Humphries for this type of work in the future

Humphries (Stonemasons) Ltd removed my Jetmaster open fire they had fitted in 1990 and installed a new Jetmaster inset stove for wood. From the enquires stage they were very helpful and assisted us in making an informed decision. The on-site assessment and subsequent ordering process was very efficient. The quote was competitive, fully inclusive and they did the work to budget. The workmen arrived as agreed and were very courteous. They worked efficiently and the job was completed within a day and with the minimum of disruption or mess. The final result looked excellent and there have not been any subsequent problems. Throughout the process all enquires were courteously and promptly responded to. I am entirely satisfied with the work carried out.

Humphries Stonemasons' team did a wonderful job for us five years' ago providing us with three new wood burners. We have since moved house and they have once again transformed two inefficient and problematic fireplaces into good-looking, problem-free and efficient ones. Barry and Chris were able to investigate our old fireplaces (we live in a very old property with thatch), identify the worrying issues, rectify the problems and insert two fantastic Burley wood burners providing excellent heat. I cannot recommend this company enough due to their extensive knowledge, willingness to go that extra mile to ensure that everything is safe and compliant with regulations, hard-working ethic, speed and reasonable prices. Thank you and especially to the lovely Chris!

Humphries were patient in helping us choose a wood burner, hearth and shelf. The work was carried out when agreed and to a high standard. All those involved were courteous and knowledgeable.

We have had work carried out by Humphries in the past and we had no hesitation in asking them to clean and re-letter a family headstone in the Hungerford cemetery. They fitted this work into their busy schedule and collected the headstone, carried out the work and re-installed it back in the cemetery within a week. The work was excellent and the headstone looks like new again and they even replaced the flower vase with a new one free of charge. If you want a job carried out by a family firm at the right price and to a very high standard with excellent customer service you need look no further than Barry and Chris Humpries and their team of Masons and support staff.

Really great company to deal with. They obviously care very much about the quality of the work they do. The work was completed to a high standard, on schedule and on budget, with excellent advice given. Clear technical drawings which were followed exactly. Very good communication.

We had granite kitchen worktops and a stone fireplace surround installed by Humphries. The are very approachable to talk through requirements and give expert holistic advice to achieve best result. Christine provided a prompt and fair quote (unlike their competitors) which didn’t get increased. They were keen to make sure the best stone was used. We’re very happy with the cut, installation and finished look.

The whole experience of using Humphries Stonemasons has been brilliant. My builder suggested I contacted Barry re a surround for my new open fireplace. I have ended up with a dream fireplace with a neat double skinned flue and saved a large amount of money in the process! Barry's design is perfect for me and my lounge - it is just beautiful. Chris & Oleg installed the flue, the Jetmaster and then the Branco Cabuca surround. They were excellent too, making sure that the finished result was exactly what I was expecting. Friendly, trustworthy and very skilled - nothing was too much trouble. And Emily in the office - so so helpful, patient and understanding - cheerfully answering all my phone calls & emails and so again, I understood the whole process, what to expect & when. And I know that should any issue arise with the Jetmaster, flue or surround, I only have to contact them and they will do what they can to help.
