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.
