More Information

Whilst we pride ourselves on the quality of our stone and workmanship every effort is made to match the individual components for colour and texture, but we must bring to your attention the fact that some unavoidable variations may occur in the stone due to different beds within the quarry and are normal features that are out of our control.

Such variations that may occur are confined within stringent tolerances and are a feature of stone, not a defect. It is these subtle variations and markings which help to give natural stone its special appeal and which will make your order truly unique. Only genuine natural products offer this wonderful variety.

The goods are sold on the understanding that they are of natural stone which is subject to natural formation characteristics, variation in colour, texture and markings and are all part of the natural makeup and appeal of natural stone.
