Why Use Us
As stone is a natural material it must be selected correctly.  Whilst stone can add value to your property and is very durable, making the wrong decision whilst sourcing product can be costly. This is where our experts can provide guidance using a combination of experience, expertise and latest technology. We offer guidance in the design specification and procurement of the products required, from quarrying to masoning.

Architecturally masoned products, can be designed to your own specified requirements, and are produced by our own craftsmen, whose skills have been passed down through the generations.

How to Select and Purchase Natural Stone, Slabs, Flagstones and Paving

Stone is a natural material and usually adds value to your property. It is durable and requires hardly any maintenance. However if it is bought without guidance it can be costly. There are many factors that you need to know about.

Your stone requirements may be especially quarried, or be reclaimed. For example a bespoke piece of masonry can be especially quarried, and then masoned by highly skilled craftsmen. Specific flagstones may be reclaimed from ethical sources. You may have an idea in mind that is achievable but very costly. It’s well worth finding a reputable and experience company that can both quarry, source, guide and do masonry.

Masonry Products, can be designed to your own specified requirements, and are produced by our own craftsmen, whose skills have been passed down through the generations

Most quarries will supply to housing development companies, designers, architects, builders and tradesmen, and some will also sell to the individual.

There are many types of stone. Some are more durable than others. Obviously colours differ from one type of stone to the other. That is not all though. With a specific type of stone such as Yorkshire Stone the shades and tones can vary significantly. Hence again it’s important to use a supplier who understands the application. If you are buying natural stone for a kitchen floor, then the consistency in shades may be more important to the flagstones that you buy for your garden driveway.

Whilst sourcing a reputable supplier, ask to see examples of work done. Most suppliers will have a portfolio of where their products have been used. MM Stone in Yorkshire have a whole range of locations around the UK where their own flagstones, blocks, Yorkshire stone, Riven, head and sills have been used. They also have examples of masoned products on site and around the UK.

Some suppliers will use state-of-the-art computerised technology and some will use older more traditional methods. If older methods are used then the time taken to make your required product available can be much longer. If you approach a new supplier question the technology that has been adopted. MM Stone at Bank Top Quarry use the very latest high-tech equipment.

With any product sourcing check to see what work is done on site. If a quarry contract masonry out to external businesses then your supplier may not see the finished masoned product and as a result there may be no quality assurance with the product. At Bank Top Quarry they have their very own team of skilled craftsmen that produce the finest quality masonry. Each piece is examined by the owner of the company to ensure that it meets with the customer’s requirements exactly, and that the quality is exceptional.

As stone is a natural material this means that a stone product that you wish to buy may have to be designed especially. MM Stone can guide you with this, and do everything necessary. If you require they will design, produce, and deliver the goods. If you have your own design they will ensure that it is workable and fulfil the rest of the process.
