Natural stone is a geological formation of minerals and other natural substances, quarried from the earth and processed into various shapes for construction and design purposes. It includes a wide range of materials such as granite, marble, limestone, slate, and travertine, each with its unique appearance, texture, and properties. Natural stone has been used for centuries in architecture and design, prized for its durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal.

Application: Natural stone finds applications in both residential and commercial settings, adding a touch of sophistication to interiors and exteriors. In homes, it is commonly used for flooring, countertops, backsplashes, fireplaces, and bathroom surfaces. In commercial spaces, natural stone elevates the ambiance of hotels, restaurants, offices, and retail establishments. Its versatility allows for diverse design applications, from sleek and modern to rustic and traditional.

Details About Natural Stone: Granite is known for its durability and resistance to heat, making it an ideal choice for kitchen countertops. Marble, prized for its classic beauty, adds a touch of luxury to bathrooms and flooring. Limestone and travertine exude a warm, earthy vibe and are often used in flooring and outdoor applications. Slate is valued for its natural cleft texture and is commonly used for flooring, roofing, and wall cladding.

Specialized natural stone services may include custom fabrication, such as intricate carvings or edge details. The choice of finishes, including polished, honed, or textured, allows for further customization. Natural stone can be sourced from various regions, each imparting unique characteristics to the material. The selection of stone depends on factors like color preferences, desired durability, and intended application.

Advantages

Natural stone offers several advantages that contribute to its popularity. Its inherent durability ensures longevity, making it a sound investment for homeowners. Each type of stone brings a unique aesthetic, allowing for customization to suit individual preferences. Natural stone is resistant to allergens and pollutants, promoting a healthier indoor environment. Additionally, it adds value to a property and can be recycled, aligning with sustainable design practices.

Disadvantages

While natural stone has numerous advantages, there are potential disadvantages to consider. Some varieties, such as marble and limestone, can be susceptible to scratching and staining.

Tiling floor and skirting board for whole flat
Verified Review

Razvan, Magda, Andrew and his team worth me to leave a brilliant comment. Previous tiler, actually we think he is a liar and no choice to stop the job in a midway. Fortunately, we have hired Razvan's team to rescue our deadline and move in within schedule with an outstanding floor and skirting broad tiling in a reasonable price. We asked them to re-assemble the kitchen island and closet as well. They really went above and beyond. They are friendly and happy to share knowledge to you. They did an amazing job and tidied up very clean every time after work. Highly recommend to friends and others!

Carpentry / Finishing Work

Verified Review

The door re hang and strengthening of the staircase were executed very professionally. And the waxing of the doors and staircases was performed equally as well. The attention to detail is what's impressive. Not all tradespeople apply this level of quality.

Here's what our customers say

New en-suite bathroom

Verified Review

Razvan was always polite and courteous. He’s workmanship is exceptional. He may not be the cheapest, but you pay for that extra quality that comes with his exceptional eye for detail. You can only call him a perfectionist. One of his best attributes was that he always gives advice and recommendations on the small details that just push the project to that next level. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Razvan again I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Bathroom refurbishment (showers, toilets and tiles but not walls)

Verified Review

Raz continued to be professional (2nd time). He was asked to only change the aged parts but retain old but good parts; he did this with no problems. He spent time with me to do trials on a very unusual tile effect request before application. Well organised with his team. During the work, some additional work became necessary, but the work and the cost was well explained. He sometimes stayed a little longer to finish what’s necessary in schedule and clean up. His fees may not be in the cheapest range, but is reasonable, if you compare to others’ work and service quality. Highly recommended.
