The Hallett family has been producing, restoring and installing high-quality stonework for more than 120 years, with generation after generation continuing this superb artisanal tradition.
Fifth-generation stonemason Jamie Hallett is continuing the mission of his famous family, whose work can be seen in grand Victorian homes, churches and cemeteries across Australia, representing both period and contemporary architecture.
“We’re proud to be a family business,” says Jamie. “We cherish our family traditions and still use some of the techniques from a century ago, especially when it comes to restoring antique fireplaces. At the same time, we’re always on the search for new solutions and modern technologies. Our experience and focus on innovation mean we have the knowledge and expertise to successfully undertake jobs of any complexity and in all materials.”

At every step, the Hallett team is available to answer every question and provide expert design assistance.
The company’s outstanding customer service is second-to-none, something that has been the hallmark of the business since its inception and is still referred to today in business reviews. “We believe every customer deserves an individual approach and our goal is to provide outstanding customer service to take the stress out of their project, whether that’s in terms of a restoration or something completely new and different.
