FAQs

Which stones do you work with?

We stock a number of dimensional stones in our yard, including Portland, Bath, Ancaster Hard White, Ancaster Weatherbed and York stone.

Can all of these stones be used externally?

Portland, Bath, Ancaster Hard White and York are fine for most external applications. Ancaster Weatherbed and Cambrian Cream are only recommended for internal use.

What sizes am I limited to?

We cut stone from large blocks in our own yard, and our available block sizes can accommodate most requirements. If you are looking to have particularly large units produced, it is worth checking to see if we have suitable material in stock.

Will you work in stones other than those you keep in stock?

Yes, we are happy to source and work with specified materials for large projects, providing the stone is suitable for the requested application.

Where is the stone worked?

All architectural masonry is cut and finished in our own yard in Cambridge by our skilled stonemasons. We do not subcontract any of our work.

Do you offer an installation service?

Will you quote for domestic installations?

Yes, we are happy to quote for all stonework, even if it is just a simple stone sill or step.

Do you get involved in large projects?

Yes, we will quote to manufacture, supply and install stonemasonry for large new build commercial and domestic developments. We are comfortable working with builders, contractors and architects.

Do you offer precast stone products?

Everyone whom I dealt with at Ivett & Reed have been very professional. The finished fireplace looks amazing - if only all home improvements could be this trouble free.
