How to measure

Measure in millimetres. Length is the longest side. Width runs from front to back. Thickness is the height of the stone itself.

For a sill, measure the opening and add how far each end builds into the wall. Replacing an old piece? Measure the old piece as well as the space. If you're unsure, give rough sizes and a photo, and we'll ask about the rest.

More on measuring

Length Width Thickness
Length along the front, width from front to back, thickness top to bottom.

Words we use

Nosing
The front edge of a step, and the shape it's cut to.
Weathered
A top cut to a slight slope so rain runs off.
Drip groove
A channel under the front edge that stops water running back to the wall.
Stooled ends
Flat, level seats at each end of a sill where the jambs sit.
Riven
A face split along the stone's natural layers.

From sizes to stone

Simple pieces are quick to price. Anything unusual, we check with you before we cut.

How a commission works

  1. Describe each piece

    Use the builder and attach a sketch or drawing if you have one. Rough sizes are fine to start.

  2. We check the details

    We ask about anything unclear and send a drawing back if the piece needs one.

  3. You get a quote

    Every piece listed with its stone, sizes and finish.

  4. We cut and finish

    Each piece is cut to the approved sizes. Nothing is cut until you say go.

Not a standard shape?

Curves, cut-outs, special profiles, or a new piece to sit beside old stone. Pick the nearest shape in the builder, describe the rest in the notes, and attach a sketch or drawing when you send.
