Authentic Stone was founded in Adelaide in 2005. We're a small, specialist team — not a franchise. Luke personally supervises every job we take on.
Our Story
Luke started Authentic Stone after years working in heritage restoration in the UK and South Australia. He saw too many jobs where corners were cut - wrong mortars, patches over problems, rushed work that failed within a couple of years.
Authentic Stone was set up on a simple principle: do the job properly or don't do it at all. That means taking the time to diagnose correctly, sourcing matched materials, and never subcontracting out the skilled work.
Twenty years later, most of our work comes from referrals. Customers come back when a previous job was done well, and recommend us to their neighbours. That's the business model.


How We Work
The team that quotes your job is the team that does it. Luke is on every site, every day.
We source stone and mortar to match your existing materials. Repairs should be invisible.
We tell you what's wrong and what will fix it — not what's most profitable for us to do.
