Bank of England – Threadneedle Street

Buxton Stone Admin Team — Fri, 05 Jul 2024 09:00:45 +0000

Threadneedle Street, London – Bank of England

The old lady of Threadneedle Street, is a very old fond monica given to the Bank of England. It sites on large site at the end of this famous street.

However, a project was commissioned to update the paving and road outside of the front and we were proud to have been asked to supply the bricks for the project. The client wanted Whitworth stone setts. Whiteworth is a very hard sandstone, making it idea for somewhere that is going to get a lot of ‘traffic’ over the top of it.

As you can see from the 2 images below, almost identically taken from a before (thanks to Google Street View) and one from the work on site; you can see what parts are being upgraded.

Garden Kerb Work Project

Team Support — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 12:04:08 +0000

Do you need Kerbs putting in or need to get the correct stone to match your project? Well, take a look at this project.

A customer needed a kerb putting in for his newly reclaimed stone slabbed pavement. Searching around, they found our website, and asked if we could supply bespoke kerbs a nice stone to match the slabs.

We could, however, there was an issue with the project. The lay of the land wasn’t the same so different sections of the kerbing had to made at different levels to match the lay and the fall of the land. You can see in the finished picture, with the lay of the lawn, it looks even and everything matching.

If you have a similar stone project like the curb work, we did here or another stone project, need stone supplied cut to very accurate sizes or supplied to be finished on-site, we would be delighted to hear from you. To see our cutting processes, click here.

A client approached us wanting to supply Limestone fireplace surrounds for a project. Head, jambs and hearth area; all cut to an exact size for installation in a bespoke space!

Our client was Step in Stone, a stone masonry company run by Jason Petricca in Warwickshire. We love working with our clients on all sorts of projects and were happy working with Jason on the timescales he had involved.

The limestone pieces are supplied loose for Jason to examine and make any final adjustments to.

The next stage is to lay them out, ensure all pieces fit at right angles, lines are straight and get them ready for fitting.

Once ready to install, ensure your hearth is in place, then fit your mantel, legs and secure them up against the back wall.

Finish, clean up and dress your fireplace. Now from a blank space, with your supplied Limestone masonry bespoke pieces, you can turn a blank space into a stunning natural stone fireplace that will enhance any open room.
