Our 140mm pitched Elswick walling stone looks great on this new housing development in Yorkshire! We think that the combination of grey walling and buff feature stones works well against the white render too!
That's week one of our 2500 Mile March over already! We've already clocked up over 580 miles between us and week two is off to a flying start...
A big thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. We've already raised an amazing £1,170 for Cancer Research UK and we hope to see this total climb even further as we march on towards our 2500 mile target.

Today we've been busy applying a sandblasted finish to our sandstones for a number of projects, including the St Bees sandstone ashlar and feature stones for the widening of Tanton Bridge in North Yorkshire. It's great to see a Cumbrian Sandstone being used to enhance this grade 2 listed structure and we're looking forward to seeing the finished result! #cumbrianstone

The new entrance walls at Salford Cathedral are looking great, and we think that the V-cut lettering in the curved Longridge sandstone walls is an eye catching feature that adds to the character of this job too.

It surprises a lot of people when they find out that our walling stone is all hand dressed in order to give the best possible finish. Each stone is split to the correct bed bepth before being hand pitched and packed ready for our customers to build.
Nice work
Tom Bousfield you are the new ghost busters
One of the options we have for finishing our sandstone products is hand carving. Our skilled stonemasons still utilise the traditional skills that would have been used by craftsmen hundreds of years ago, whilst also incorporating modern technology to assist with their work where possible.

Once a stone has been cut to size (Secondary Sawing) it may require further cutting and carving to produce the finished stone component. One of the options we use for finishing stone units is CNC Profiling. This involves the building of a 3D model of each finished stone and the creation of a set of instructions for the 5-Axis CNC saw to follow. Once programmed these saws will run automatically, changing the tools and self-calibrating to produce the finished unit.
Once a sandstone block has been cut into slabs (Primary Sawing) we begin the process of secondary sawing. This is where each stone is cut to its finished size ready for further work by our stonemasons and CNC Saws...
Have you ever wondered how we go from a 15 Ton sandstone block to a finished product? The first step for our team is Primary Sawing, where these blocks are cut into slabs (sawn 2 sides) using a diamond wire saw, monobalde saw or circular bridge saw. These slabs are then polished before moving on to the next stage in the production process...
That’s really interesting - It’s also really nice when they use the actual worker in the video, and not one of the ‘managers’ dressed as a worker. 👍
