The Rock

Every stone we utilise is sourced directly from our quarry, ensuring authenticity and quality in every piece. Tailored to your specifications, our skilled craftsmen transform raw stone into bespoke masterpieces, perfectly suited to your project.

The process begins with the extraction of blocks from the bedrock, a meticulous operation involving steel wedges driven into drill holes. These blocks, some weighing up to 15 tonnes, are then refined through drilling and wedging until they are manageable enough to pass through our stone saw. These blocks typically weigh around 2 tonnes. The mason then expertly cuts them into slabs using the saw, ready to be shaped and sculpted using traditional hammers and chisels.

The result? Each finished piece boasts the distinctive, open-grained texture that is uniquely characteristic of our beloved gritstone—a testament to the timeless beauty and exceptional quality of our craft.
