To speak to our team
There are plenty of natural stone choices available, but Bath stone still holds on to the top spot when it comes to being sought after for embellishing new builds with large architectural features or even just small impressive detailing.
Bath stone has prestige, associated with modern high-end developments, signalling quality, craftsmanship and permanence. It has a unique colour and character with a visual aesthetic that can’t be replicated by engineered alternatives. When freshly quarried it is relatively soft and easy to work, allowing for beautiful fine carving and contemporary interpretations of classical forms.
For all these reasons – and many more – our local Bath stone is valued in modern build projects, statement pieces that add character to exteriors, interiors and gardens. As expert stonemasons based in Bath, we can execute just about any architectural or decorative design in stone for your new build, and fix it on site, across the city or the surrounding area of north Somerset and Wiltshire.

Bath stone is very much not a thing of the past, remaining firmly in fashion. It is still available near Bath, with several active mines in the local area from where we can source stone for our restoration projects and to fulfil commissions for new bespoke architectural features.
Decorative and structural elements crafted in Bath stone are highly prized by anyone who is after a timeless, premium aesthetic look. This desirable oolitic limestone complies with contemporary standards, performing well in modern builds that are designed with attention paid to moisture management and detailing.
When it comes to environmental considerations, Bath stone is a sustainable locally sourced material with a lower embodied carbon footprint than many manufactured alternatives. It requires minimal processing, produces no toxic byproducts and is fully recyclable.
Investing in Bath Stone features for a new build makes sense on many levels, offering excellent value over the long term.
