Services
Memorials
We create hand-carved and blast-carved memorials in granite, slate, marble, and stone for cemeteries and churchyards. Our designs prioritise durability and natural aesthetics, with options for additional inscriptions and renovations. Clients can choose from standard materials like Black Blue Pearl and Balmoral Red or request custom shapes and finishes.
Granite Worktops
Our granite worktops offer timeless beauty and exceptional durability for kitchens and bathrooms. Available in 30mm standard thickness with high-gloss or honed finishes, they resist scratches and temperature extremes. We supply and install countertops, wall plaques, and fireplace surrounds tailored to residential and commercial spaces.
Quartz Worktops
Quartz worktops combine crushed stone and acrylic resin for a non-porous, low-maintenance surface. Available in designs like Lapaz and Elvas, they offer heat, scratch, and stain resistance. Ideal for kitchens and bathrooms, these surfaces feature mirror particles for added sparkle and come with free quotation services.
Bespoke Stonework
We craft bespoke stonework including vanity units, table tops, and fireplace surrounds. Clients can submit personal designs for realisation using our advanced machinery and materials. Services include home consultations and transportation to and from showrooms for convenience.
Headstone Cleaning
Specialist cleaning and restoration services for existing memorials ensure longevity and aesthetic appeal. Using industry-specific techniques, we revitalise weathered or damaged headstones while preserving their structural integrity and historical significance.
