This Listed Building is nestled in the Peak District and is actually a pub. They required an extension on the side, but it had to match the existing stone walling. We were approached at Buxton Architectural Stone to cut out stones to the exact size for the walling.
The stone had to be an Ashlar stone.
You may ask, what is an Ashlar stone?! An Ashlar stone is a stone that has to be cut finely, often cubed and with a fine cut finish. As stone doesn’t come in this finish, our Stonemason had to utilise all his skills. The stone was fresh cut stone so he had to use his secret treatment to ages the stones colour and then cut in a fine herringbone finish.
Using our stone and his skill meant this extension, required to compliment the aged finish of this listed building, meant the project could be completed to the satisfaction of everyone involved.
