What truly sets us apart from other wholesalers is our in-house stone workshop. In recent years, we’ve seen a clear shift in demand towards bespoke hearths, back hearths, and slip sets—driven by customers moving away from traditional cast iron inserts and towards freestanding stoves and modern 4-sided inset fires.
To meet this demand, we’ve made significant ongoing investment in both machinery and facilities. Our workshop is now equipped with a 4-axis CNC bridge saw alongside a state-of-the-art 5-axis CNC bridge saw, giving us exceptional accuracy, flexibility, and capacity for complex bespoke work.
Our machinery lineup also includes an automatic edge polisher and a “Jenny Lind” radial arm face polisher, enabling us to achieve a consistent, high-quality finish across all products. Dust control is managed through both 3m and 5m water wall extraction units, ensuring a cleaner, safer, and more efficient working environment.
In addition, our Dal Prete water treatment plant enables us to recycle wastewater from our machinery, reducing environmental impact while improving operational efficiency. All of this is housed within our existing workshop and our second workshop building, completed in the summer of 2025, designed to maximise workflow, capacity, and working conditions for our team.
