Stone steps

Yorkstone steps and Portland limestone steps are most commonly used as entrances to Georgian and Victorian properties in London. York stone is the generic name for sandstone quarried in North West England and varies from grey to buff in colour. Portland limestone comes from the Jurassic coast of southern England and is creamy white in colour. Both stones are very suitable for exterior architectural masonry work as they are fine grained and hard wearing. We are very experienced specialists and are able to carry out detailed finishing on site which means that our attention to detail is exceptional.

Frontages

As well as stone steps and masonry, we are able to undertake whole frontages including brickwork, pointing, rendering, landscaping, paving, Victorian tiling and railings. This enables us to take the project from concept to completion and avoids the client having to coordinate several different trades. Click here to see more examples of frontages.

Victorian mosaics

Victorian pathways tiled with black and white or multicoloured patterns are often found in combination with York stone or Portland stone steps and thresholds. Although not always possible, we can restore original Victorian tiled paths, more commonly they are too deteriorated and need to be replaced. Tiled hallways are generally in better condition as they have not suffered the weather conditions and we are therefore more usually able to restore them.

Fireplaces


Natural stone is a perfect choice for a fire surround .... it doesn't burn! Hearth stones are so called because they are made of stone, which is of course, a practical choice. Slate is a traditional material for a hearth stone and Marble has been used for fire surrounds for centuries. These days there are many possibilities, reproduction surrounds of all styles to innovative modern designs and material combinations. Click here for more examples of stone fireplaces.

Flooring

Natural stone has become increasingly popular for flooring in recent years. As well as being intrinsically beautiful, it is also very hard wearing and easy to maintain. There are a great range of colours, textures and designs available to compliment any interior scheme. We are able to assist at every stage, from advice at the start, through the installation to the completion of any sized project. Click here to see more examples of stone flooring.

Staircases

Stone staircases are one of the more complex projects to plan and install. Here are examples of two staircases we have made, the first was laid on a concrete base. Click here to see more images of stone staircases.

Other stonework

Blenstone has carried out some very varied stonework over the years including some ecclesiastical stonework. We believe that this enriches our experience and feeds our passion for, and knowledge of, natural stone. Click here to see some examples of this diversity.
