About
Carvero Stonemasonry

Carvero Ltd is an architectural stonemasonry company based in Leicestershire, creating bespoke stone staircases, fireplaces, arches and architectural stonework for private houses, listed buildings and high-end residential projects across the Midlands and throughout the UK.

The company was founded on a simple principle: respect for stone — a material formed long before us, and capable of remaining in place for generations. The stone structures we create are, by their nature, made to last. With this in mind, every detail matters: the choice of material, the proportion of a moulding, the accuracy of a joint, the quality of the finish and the way each piece belongs within the architecture around it.

Over more than twenty years of projects, Carvero stonemasons and designers have constructed, restored and developed stonework for clients across the UK, Europe and North Africa. Our work has included interior and exterior architectural stonemasonry, remodelling, solid stone staircases, cantilevered stone staircases, spiral stone staircases, post-tensioned stone staircases, bespoke stone fireplaces and hand-carved stone arches.

The commissions have been diverse: interior and exterior architectural stonework, restoration, remodelling, stone staircases, fireplaces and arches. Some are developed closely from architects’ drawings, while others begin with an open brief and are designed from scratch in close collaboration with the client, architect or interior designer.

Although each commission is different, the same care runs through our work: carefully chosen natural stone, considered proportions, well-resolved details, accurate workmanship and a finish that is made to last.

Andre of Carvero Stone

Andre Schuberth

Andre trained as a stonemason in Germany (Dresden, Schwerin and Cologne) and France, moving around with work in a manner traditional to the trade. When presented with the opportunity to take over an already thriving family landscaping business after his initial apprenticeship, Andre chose instead to pursue his own talents. He returned to stonemasonry, armed with passion for his trade, and ready to travel to gain a deeper knowledge than the local traditions provided.

In France, Andre carried out restoration work on churches and castles, most notably the Basilique St. Denis and the Cathédrale Notre Dame in Paris. After spending the best part of a decade in leadership roles across Europe, he founded Carvero stonemasonry. The company has been delivering architectural stonemasonry contracts great and small since 2006. In recent years Andre has begun to focus on the idea of building a legacy with clients, creating large new works. Along with Andre’s commitment to quality work, design and service, these have achieved for Carvero an international reputation.

Our Vision

The finished projects in which we take so much pride have to begin somewhere. They start with a vision or an idea, a dim childhood memory or a flash of inspiration. Whether you envisage a classic, traditional design or a bold new feat of innovation and engineering, at Carvero we have the technology, the craftsmanship and the passion to bring your vision into being.
