Q. Do you undertake commercial work?

A. We do not undertake commercial work. For this, you can source professional wallers  – local ones can be found on our Professional Members section, or country-wide on the DSWA website.

The CSDSWA mainly undertakes work for charities, community groups and not-for-profit organisations. Many small scale projects are passed on to us by our professional members, who also supervise our work and teach on our training courses.

Q. what is the difference between the dswa and the csdswa?

A. The Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain (DSWA) is the parent organisation which governs the activities of a network of local branches spread across the UK. The Central Scotland Branch of the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain (CSDSWA) is one of those local branches.
