Building Stone

Embrace the charm and strength of building stone to enhance your projects. From constructing houses to embarking on new builds, our traditional building stone is renowned for its rich palette of greys, buffs, and browns, offering a naturally mottled aesthetic that seamlessly integrates with any environment.

Discover the Beauty of Natural Building Stone

The allure of our natural building stone lies in its ability to bestow beauty, elegance, and substantial value, particularly to country new builds. Achieve a timeless aesthetic reminiscent of the highly prized stone houses and cottages scattered across the UK. Remember, for the perfect finish, consider proportions, styling, and setting.

About Our Stone

Our stone, known as Forest Marble, stands as a testament to enduring quality, with a limited number of quarries, like ours, dedicated to its extraction. Whether you're interested in a traditional building stone look or seeking something uniquely custom, we have options to fit your needs.

Cropped and Coursed for Easy Application

Each piece of our building stone is cropped and hand-dressed by skilled masons, available in both coursed and random walling formats. This ensures traditional stonework that's not only easy to handle but also construction-ready. Each load features quoins and jumpers for flexibility in design and use.

In contemporary settings, our stone's cropping to 6 inches on bed for standard projects, or 7 inches for thinner stone, ensures efficient and reliable cavity wall applications.

Cladding Stone for a Modern Finish

Our cladding stone offers a sleek and modern finish for any project, marrying the robustness of natural stone with contemporary aesthetics. Perfect for both refurbishment projects and new constructions, cladding stone enhances visual appeal without compromising on strength.
