Most people in Glasgow only go looking for a stonemason once something has already gone wrong, which is the worst time to be choosy. Glasgow has more pre-war tenements than any UK city, plus a heavy stock of post-war estates in Castlemilk, Easterhouse and Drumchapel, then a rebuilding wave through the West End and Merchant City. The tenement stock means tradespeople here are unusually fluent in shared services, common closes, and factor-managed properties.
