Hiring wallers: what to know
Local dry stone wallers build and restore field boundaries, garden feature walls, retaining walls, and property boundaries without mortar — using stone carefully chosen and fitted by hand. Many also carry out heritage and conservation repairs on listed structures, using traditional techniques required by planning conditions.
What to check before hiring
Look for wallers certified by the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain (DSWA) — their graded scheme from Novice to Master Craftsman is the recognised quality standard. Ask whether the waller is familiar with the local stone type for your region, as techniques and materials vary significantly between areas such as the Cotswolds, Lake District, and Yorkshire Dales.
