Building The Future | Restoring The Past
Lennox Masonry is Cowichan Valley’s trusted heritage masonry specialist, restoring historic masonry structures using traditional mortars, lime-based repointing, and time-tested stonemasonry methods. Our team combines deep knowledge of heritage building conservation with hands-on craftsmanship to preserve sandstone, limestone, brick, and cast stone on century-old buildings across Victoria, Duncan, Cobble Hill, Mill Bay, Shawnigan Lake, and the wider Cowichan Valley.
In 2024, Lennox Masonry led the restoration of Duncan’s iconic City Hall clock tower and its sandstone belts, carefully removing deteriorated mortar and repointing the sandstone base with historically accurate lime-based mortars and lime-washes. This project required precise stone cleaning, selective stone replacement, and mortar matching that respected the building’s original architectural character while ensuring long-term durability in Vancouver Island’s wet climate. Our work on the City Hall clock tower is a standout example of heritage masonry restoration on Vancouver Island and demonstrates our commitment to preserving British Columbia’s built heritage using authentic techniques.
We specialize in:
-
Heritage masonry repointing with lime-based and traditional mortars
-
Sandstone restoration for historic buildings, including belt courses, bases, and ornamental stone
-
Clock tower and façade restoration on municipal and heritage buildings
-
Lime-wash application and breathable finishes for historic stone
-
Chimney and parapet restoration on heritage homes and commercial buildings

Marlow S.
"Sean and his team were friendly, professional and did a great job restoring one of our 110 year old chimneys and removing the other. They offered various ways we could save money, and appreciated that we wanted to keep things looking as original as possible. They kept in good communication throughout the project and the original quote was thorough, so there were no surprises later. Would definitely hire them again for future masonry projects."
Alex C.
"Sean and his team were professional, prompt and extremely reasonably priced. Other masons in town seemed to have a real chip on their shoulder and outrageous rates. Call Sean and see what he can do for you!"
Mitchell G.
"We hired Sean to demo our chimney on our 1912 character house. He also built a beautiful new chimney and coordinated other trades to install a new gas fireplace insert. The end product is very beautiful. Each time I walk down the street I admire the character and warmth that it adds to our home. Sean’s communication, expertise, thoughtfulness and response time were much appreciated by us throughout the build.
I would recommend Lennox Masonry if you are looking for strong communication and honesty."
