Services
Yorkstone Steps
Crafted from durable Yorkshire-quarried sandstone, our Yorkstone steps combine historical authenticity with modern engineering. Each flight is precision-cut to prevent chipping, featuring bullnosed edges for safety and aesthetic appeal. Ideal for high-traffic entrances, these steps resist weathering while maintaining their natural colouring with minimal maintenance.
Portland Stone Steps
Sourced exclusively from Dorset's Isle of Portland, these limestone steps offer timeless elegance for residential and public buildings. The Jurassic-period material provides a hard-wearing surface with subtle calcified textures, perfect for creating grand entrances that withstand London's climate while complementing both traditional and contemporary architecture.
Waterproofing Systems
Our multi-layered waterproofing membrane protects subterranean spaces beneath stone steps. The flexible system adapts to structural movement, channeling water away from buildings through concealed drainage paths. This innovative solution preserves property integrity by eliminating damp issues associated with natural stone installations in wet conditions.
Metalwork Installation
We design and install custom metalwork including Victorian-style railings, balustrades, and gates. Using traditional casting methods with modern materials, our ironwork resists corrosion while maintaining historical accuracy. All metal components are precision-fitted to complement stone installations for cohesive exterior aesthetics.
Paving Installation
From patios to pathways, our paving solutions utilise riven and sawn stone for slip-resistant, durable surfaces. We offer both contemporary layouts and traditional patterns, ensuring seamless integration with existing architecture. Each installation includes sub-base preparation to guarantee long-term stability and water management.
