A F Jones Stonemasons Ltd
VerifiedStonemason
Reading, Berkshire · England
Reading stonemasons trading more than 160 years, covering architectural and structural stone, interior surfaces and heritage conservation from consultation through to installation. Cantilevered stone staircases are a named speciality, which is structural work many firms subcontract.
AGM Stone Ltd
VerifiedStonemason
Glasgow, Glasgow · Scotland
Glasgow stonemasons working across Central Scotland on new walling, barn restoration and fireplaces. Traditional methods and existing materials are the stated default, which is the difference between a repair that matches an old building and one that patches it.
Alasdair Mackenzie Stonemasonry Ltd
VerifiedStonemason
Beauly, Highlands · Scotland
Beauly stonemasons covering conservation, restoration, drystone and new build across the Highlands, with archaeological and environmental services alongside. Drystone and archaeology under one roof suits a site where the fabric must be recorded before it can be repaired.
Albion Stone
VerifiedQuarry & Supplier
Portland, Dorset · England
Fourth-generation family business mining Portland Stone from two Dorset mines. The only company globally rated 'Excellent' under BES 6001.
Amarestone
VerifiedStonemason
Folkestone, Kent · England
Folkestone importer specialising in French limestone, more than 20 years in the trade and a founding member of the Ethical Stone Register. Sells blocks sawn six sides direct from the quarry, which suits masons and sculptors needing a specific stone rather than a finished item.
Anything Stone UK Ltd
VerifiedStonemason
Swindon, Wiltshire · England
Swindon worktop supplier selling factory direct and installing UK-wide. The range runs from marble, limestone, granite and quartzite through to engineered quartz and sintered surfaces, so be specific if natural stone is what you are after.
Apex Masonry Ltd
VerifiedStonemason
Ashford, Kent · England
Ashford fabricator with factory and showroom on the same Cobbs Wood site, cutting granite, marble, quartz and limestone worktops for Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Slabs can be seen where they are cut rather than chosen off a sample board.
Archer Stone Restoration Ltd
VerifiedStonemason
North Chailey, East Sussex · England
Sussex specialists in historic building repair, offering stone surveys, facade condition reports and consultancy as well as the repair work itself. Taking the diagnosis and the work from one firm suits a listed building where finding the cause is the hard part.
Arcturus Stones
VerifiedStonemason
London, Greater London · England
London supplier of French limestone and French and Belgian marble, sourced direct from the quarries for high-end residential and hospitality work. A narrow imported range rather than a general yard, so it suits a material already specified.
Armstrong Masonry Ltd
VerifiedStonemason
Barry, Vale of Glamorgan · Wales
Barry stonemasons trading since 2010, covering conservation, repair and new stone structures across Wales and the south east of England, alongside carving and stone cleaning. Fireplaces are fabricated and installed in-house rather than bought in.
A V V Solutions Ltd
VerifiedStonemason
Watford, Hertfordshire · England
Watford contractor working on listed, heritage and ecclesiastical buildings and new construction alike. Case studies include Pitzhanger Manor and Abney Park Cemetery. Running both sides is what lets them source new stone to match existing fabric.
Bath Stone Group Limited
VerifiedQuarry & Supplier
Limpley Stoke, Somerset · England
Mines Stoke Ground Bath stone at Limpley Stoke, worked since 1982, in top and base bed for new build and restoration. The base bed is cut for freeze-thaw exposure, and provenance is traceable because the stone comes off their own mine rather than a merchant's yard.
