About our natural building stone

Because of our stone's excellent building qualities and attractiveness it has been widely used where the seams were close to the surface.  The stone was once quarried in Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, where it has helped produce some of the most iconic pretty villages in regions such as the Cotswolds.  

 

With the stone being so durable, it can be used below damp course, or used in exposed locations.   

 

Today, the allure of our natural building stone lies in its ability to bestow beauty, durability, and substantial value, to new newbuilds, and matching extensions.

 

The building stone is cropped and hand dressed by our skilled masons, and so is ready to use.  The stone comes out of the ground with varying bed heights enabling the quarry to provide cut and dressed building stone with a range of heights.   

 

The 6 inch on bed (width) stone has a range of heights from 3 inches to 6 inches or so.  There are quoins and jumpers included within the stone.

 

The 7 inch on bed (width) stone has a smaller height of 2 - 3 inches or so.  This is ideal for a tighter, more rustic finish for barns, walls, and modern houses.
