Add Value to Your Housing Project at the Natural StoneShow
All over the country British quarries are busy supplying walling stone to housing developers and self-builders. There is no doubt people like stone houses and they sell quickly, often at a premium. With stone sawn, cropped and tumbled these days, so bricklayers can use it, the extra cost of a finished building with stone walls is minimal. Even developments for social housing are using it in order to benefit from its long-term low maintenance.
If you want to see British stones available for building, there are more than ever at the Natural Show taking place in London at ExCeL from 30 April to 2 May, including Albion Stone, Lovell Stone Group, Johnston Quarry Group, Stamford Stone Company, Johnsons Wellfield Quarries, Welsh Slate, Bath Stone Group and others.
As well as high profile stones such as Portland, Purbeck and Bath, there are many others familiar enough to the stone industry but less well known outside it – stones such as Ham Hill, Chilmark, Chicksgrove, blue and white lias from Somerset, Hurdcott Green and Crosland Hill. Come and see them in the Stone Federation Great Britain Village, where experts will also be at hand to answer all your stone-related queries.
