Our benefits
Family Run Business
As a member of the Ethical Stone Register, you can be certain that our stone is sourced responsibly and ethically. We specialise in French Limestone and visit the quarries in France on a regular basis to see for ourselves how the highest ethical and environmental standards are maintained.
As a family run business, a personal service is at the heart of what we believe in. You can be confident that the natural stone we supply is always the most appropriate for your design and project. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work, client satisfaction and a professional approach.
Expert Advice
We are active members of the Stone Federation of Great Britain and our MD helps to run presentations and training courses to other Stone Federation members, Architects and Interior Designers. Steve has represented the Stone Federation at SBID seminars and spoken at exhibitions as an expert on natural stone. As an Amarestone customer, you will benefit from our strong relationships with the best natural stone experts in Europe and you will have access to expertise from the quarries and the technical departments of the world leading stone sealer and adhesives companies.
Therefore, our customers benefit not only from our experience but from the support of our world-class suppliers too.
Completely Bespoke
Our motto is ‘everything is possible’. We source directly from the quarry for every project so you can choose exactly what you want and how you want it. It means you can have tiles in any stone cut to any size, any thickness and with your specification of surface finish. So, for example, if the dimensions of your project space mean that you need floor or wall tiles cut to bespoke, non-standard widths or lengths, then we can achieve it for you. If you need stone staircases, copings or blocks of stone for carvings, it is all possible.
Also, we are able to take on highly individual and often complex designs using techniques such as water-jet and CNC cutting as well as traditional stone masonry. Just get in touch to discuss your requirements.
Our natural stone services
As a natural stone supplier, we have established excellent relationships with a wide range of European quarries allowing us to offer our clients CE-certified natural stone of many different types. We have particularly strong relationships with a number of French limestone and French marble quarries making us the first choice for projects requiring French stone.
We also use specialist collectors in the UK and Europe giving our clients unrivalled access to rare and antique marbles.
Sometimes this means finding the best match in new for old such as an existing feature in a period property. One such request led us to Italy where we found that the original quarry had closed over a century ago. By using our network of contacts around the European quarries, we were able to source marble from the neighbouring quarry that was a perfect match.
When it comes to design, we are flexible and open-minded. Many of our clients come to us with a clear idea of what they want and just need our help to make it happen. Others are not so sure and welcome guidance which we are always happy to provide.
Over the years we have worked on a very wide range of projects from relatively small individual items such as a fire surround or vanity top to highly individual ‘all house’ projects. We are experienced in making bespoke items using both state of the art machinery and a traditional hammer and chisel.
Every project is different and every order is unique. Our clients specify the tile size, thickness and surface finish – there are no ‘standard’ options.
We are happy to advise our clients on the most appropriate choice of natural stone for their project but because we do not bulk order or keep stock, we are able to offer unbiased advice to every client.
Our consultation service includes advice on substrate preparation as well as guidance on which ancillaries to use. One of our specialists will carry out a site survey and report on their findings. Where appropriate, we will discuss the performance requirements with our suppliers to ensure that our proposal offers the best possible solution and is fit for purpose.
This enables us to obtain guarantees from our suppliers which gives our clients peace of mind and a natural stone installation that will last for many years to come.
