Testimonials

Stamford Stone produce the finest quality English limestone at a price that is surprisingly affordable. As a novice self-builder whose architects and contractors were not very familiar with this material, I needed particular help with the design and detailed specification. Stamford Stone did this work expertly and efficiently and I felt that my hand had been held throughout the process.

As far as Hereward Homes is concerned, Stamford Stone are a key supplier for their prestigious homes. They consistently supply good quality products with excellent service. They have friendly and knowledgeable staff who are reliable and helpful. We would highly recommend them.

I found it very easy to deal with Stamford Stone on a prestigious project at Ripon College. Outstanding quality, taking into consideration a very challenging design and tight timescales. Equally outstanding lead times, which is one of the most important things when there is a last minute design change or when additional material is required. I would not hesitate to work again with Stamford Stone. Well done, guys. You are one of the best in this profession!

We have worked with Stamford Stone since their business was established. They have provided a consistently high quality of stone to our sites and to our exact specification, including specialised designs, flooring stone and fire surrounds. They are consistently helpful, competitive and are a pleasure to deal with. They are an essential part of the local stone scene.

We have been using Stamford Stone on local projects for the last 7 years. Many of our prestigious builds have required locally dressed stone and Stamford Stone have provided us with excellent quality material and service. We will continue using Stamford Stone on local projects in the future.

Undertaking a self-build can be a daunting prospect so it is essential that you seek out the best suppliers. I found such a company in Stamford Stone. I used their Clipsham limestone for the external walls and several designs of stone and marble for the internal floors and bathroom walls. Our completed house now oozes quality both inside and out! Not only do Stamford Stone supply a great product, their guidance on selecting the best stone and after sales support is exemplary, making them a pleasure to work with.

We were very impressed with Stamford Stone. One thing we noted when visiting was the large amount of stock that they kept which meant there were no delays to starting the work as soon as we had planning permission approved. A big bonus for us.

We are delighted with our investment in natural stone and would wholeheartedly recommend it as a building material and Stamford Stone as a supplier.

The transformation from industrial shed to the UK headquarters for a global business has been truly remarkable.

Using Stamford Stone was instrumental in delivering quality to achieve this; it was also critical for integrating the building harmoniously into its local and historical context. The contrast of smooth and split faced ashlar stonework detailed in a contemporary style blends the local vernacular with Kentucky aesthetic to reflect the global outlook and local interest synonymous with the Alltech Group.

This local reference is further emphasized within the central atrium, which is completely lined with a Stamford Stone dry stone wall, the perfect backdrop to a museum celebrating regional culture.

The West Court development will provide a home for academic symposia, conferences, lectures and debates to be used by the College community, conference guests and alumni. Of particular interest is the new Lecture Hall with cutting-edge AV, the hotel-standard bedrooms and the multi-use Webb Library with its stunning interior.

The aim was to create something with timeless appeal; architecture that honours the traditions and creates an aura that is present in so much of the historic architecture in the city. Best use has been made of the existing architecture, retaining features that give the hotel its historic character. The new Porte Cochère, in particular, provides architectural ornament within the streetscape that contributes to the richness of the public realm whilst marking out the new entrance.

We are already very proud of what Rushton Hall has to offer our guests but the purpose-built Orangery with its latest audio visual system and high speed WiFi means it is ideal for 21st century events. With the input from Historic England The Orangery will keep the feel and grandeur of the original 15th century hall.

The new Bishop Edward King Chapel sits at the heart of our worshipping community. It is not just a beautiful building but a work of art which touches the spirit and captures our hope for the church and the world and for the shaping of religious and spiritual life. We are delighted to not only have a building which serves the needs of the college but is also a stunning piece of architecture.

We were delighted to have been able to source natural materials, like those provided by Stamford Stone, to ensure we met with all local authority planning requirements, while offering our customers something very special.

Linden Homes was recognised for the tremendous amount of care and consideration that went in to designing these family homes, and to be supported by local and reliable suppliers made the job even smoother.”
We take great pride in our designs and materials and to enlist the expertise of a company like Stamford Stone to help us achieve the look and feel of these homes was a bonus.

At Taylor Wimpey, it is very important to us to use companies close to our region for environmental reasons: this helps with transport costs and also positively affects the carbon footprint of our company. Building relationships, as well as houses, also matters to us. We enjoy working with Stamford Stone because they are very friendly, reliable and we can always speak to someone when we need them.

We consider it very important that locally sourced, natural materials are used wherever possible in developments in an historic environment context. We also recognise the contribution that sourcing local, natural materials such as Clipsham Limestone make towards preserving traditional skills that are integral to its use.

The impact of natural stone on our cultural and heritage is hugely important in defining the distinctive character and 'sense of place', distinguishing different parts of the UK from one another. To the national heritage built environment, continued supply is essential for conserving our most important secular, ecclesiastical and industrial buildings for public benefit.

Finally, we must ensure future availability of locally sourced stone with the correct geology/genealogy/performance and appearance required for maintaining our heritage buildings.
