Wild Stone Britannia

A rugged and strong fine-grained lias limestone with colours from buff to creamy white. This stone has a regal feel and lends itself perfectly to rural, suburban and coastal communities. A stone of choice for masons through the years, and now available in easy-to-lay slips. The pieces shown are set within a cream mortar but also work well with other coloured mortars, allowing the overall look to change to suit your application. The combination of real stone and tailored mortar creates a durable, character‑rich finish suited to both architectural and landscaping applications. Our natural Random Stone Cladding Slips are cut from traditional facing stone to a thickness of 15-30mm, retaining the authentic stone face in the random build style. Random slips consist of largely square-edged stones of varying heights and lengths, with some irregular pieces for character.

The combination of real stone and tailored mortar creates a durable, character‑rich finish suited to both architectural and landscaping applications. Our natural Rubble Stone Cladding Slips are slim individual pieces of stone which has been cut from full thickness facing stone, the stone gets cut to a thickness of 15-30mm, giving the appearance of traditional stone walling when laid. Each piece of stone is unique in shape, height and length.

A fine‑grained, foliated, and homogeneous metamorphic rock formed from shale‑based sedimentary material such as clay or volcanic ash. Through prolonged heat and pressure, it develops a tightly layered structure and a dense, uniform composition. Mica minerals within the stone create a subtle surface sheen, giving each split face a gentle lustre and a smooth, refined touch despite its natural texture. The overall appearance can be further influenced by the chosen mortar colour—whether a dark tone to create contrast and definition, or a lighter shade for a softer, more blended finish—allowing the final look to be tailored to the desired aesthetic.

Random slips consist of largely square-edged stones of varying heights and lengths, with some irregular pieces for character.

A limestone, sandstone mix which offers colours from reds, greys and buff with naturally occurring rusty tints. Each piece is cut from natural stone to retain its authentic colour variation, texture, and irregular form. The slips are set in a warm beige mortar, creating a rustic, handcrafted appearance, though the look can be adapted with alternative mortar colours to suit different design intentions. Can be used for interior or exterior.

Black limestone is a dense and highly durable stone that has been valued as a building material for centuries. Its natural dark charcoal colouring gives it a refined, understated elegance, while its subtly textured surface deepens to an intense, almost ink‑black tone when wet. The stone’s inherent strength allows it to withstand extreme temperatures, heavy use, and decades of exposure to the elements without losing its integrity, making it exceptionally well‑suited to outdoor applications. The final appearance can be further shaped through the choice of mortar colour—darker mortars enhance the stone’s dramatic depth, while lighter tones introduce contrast and highlight the individual pieces, allowing the installation to be tailored precisely to the desired aesthetic.

A classic cream‑to‑buff limestone with gentle tints of ochre and yellow, this material offers a warm, timeless aesthetic rooted in traditional masonry. Naturally hard and durable, it has long been favoured for building and walling applications where strength and longevity are essential. The tumbling process softens its edges and surface, giving each piece a subtly weathered, time‑worn character that enhances its authenticity. In a rubble‑build format, the stone is supplied in irregular shapes and random sizes, creating a relaxed, organic composition that feels both rustic and refined. Mortar colour further shapes the final appearance—lighter tones blend seamlessly for a soft, harmonious look, while mid‑tone or darker mortars introduce contrast and emphasise the individuality of each stone. Our natural Random Stone Cladding Slips are cut from traditional facing stone to a thickness of 15-30mm, retaining the authentic stone face in the random build style.

Coursed cladding slips are formed into rectangular shaped stones sawn top and bottom in an architectural building style, typically with three set heights (ours are 65mm, 140mm and 215mm). L-shaped corners available.

Igneous Granite is a striking natural stone distinguished by its predominantly light grey colouring, intricately speckled with darker grey minerals and enriched by naturally occurring rusty tints. Hard as iron, it offers exceptional durability and long‑term performance in both contemporary and traditional applications. The surface is naturally lightly riven, giving each piece a subtle texture and gentle variation that enhances its organic character. No two stones are identical, with tonal shifts and mineral patterns creating a refined yet rugged aesthetic that feels both timeless and architectural. Mortar choice further influences the final appearance—lighter tones create a soft, blended finish, while darker mortars sharpen the outlines and emphasise the granite’s distinctive speckled detail. Interior or exterior use.

Jorvik Buff is a fine‑grained British sandstone known for its density and durability, making it significantly less porous than many comparable sandstones. This reduced porosity means it is far less prone to water absorption and the frost damage that can affect softer stones. Its colour palette is rich and warm, ranging from deep honey through wheat and sand tones, creating a classic, heritage‑led aesthetic. When paired with a light‑coloured mortar, the stone’s natural variation is subtly enhanced, delivering the soft, traditional appearance characteristic of historic British stone buildings while maintaining the performance expected in modern construction. Interior or exterior use.

Jurassic Blue is a mix of coarse and fine-grained British sandstone defined by its harmonious blend of buff and blue tonalities that create a naturally varied, textural surface. Its palette moves fluidly from cool blue‑grey and silver‑blue through to warmer buff and ochre hues, giving the stone a quietly expressive depth. Hard and durable, it delivers long‑term performance across both contemporary and traditional settings. The surface is naturally riven, offering gentle undulations and subtle shifts in texture that enhance its organic character. No two pieces are identical; variations in grain structure and colour distribution create a refined yet rugged aesthetic that feels both timeless and architectural. Mortar selection plays a significant role in shaping the final appearance. Lighter mortars produce a soft, blended finish that unifies the buff‑and‑blue spectrum, while darker greys or charcoals sharpen the joint lines and emphasise the stone’s tonal contrasts.
