I can supply and install all types of stone flooring with a number of installation techniques to suit any application. From traditionally bedded in rammed earth or bedded on limecrete as part of a monolithic build-up to a modern latex and fibre reinforced decoupled system incorporating underfloor heating. Floors can be laid to design and to suit LBC requirements and/or Building Regulations.

The regulation on imported stone is not the best so I prefer to supply and fit stone I know is fit for purpose, as I cannot guarantee the performance of any client supplied stone which doesn't have supporting paperwork or appropriate grading. In that scenario you would take the risk it's not fit for purpose. Eg. there are a lot of thin stone tiles available which would be unfit for installation in a damp cellar. Even if you hired for me to dry it out. Contrary to popular belief every type of stone has a minimum recommended thickness, It's usually around 50mm for sedimentary stone like Sandstone or most Limestone and thinner for thinly bedded stones like Slate or stronger stone like Granite. Eg. Travertine is renowned for being suitable for thin applications. But if you cut Red sandstone to 20mm thick and laid it, you could easily have problems with moisture and dirt. Even cracking and deterioration in some cases. But on the other side of the coin there are some incredibly suitable Indian Limestones and sandstones which can be used thin. Again though, these need to be certain types and from certain sources. The greener stone being unsuitable and the brown stone being incredibly hardy. 

Contrary to popular belief most stone can still be sourced and British stone is not as expensive as people think; the reason is down to hiring a company which cannot get trade prices, cannot cut and lay the stone very quickly and has excessive overheads with office staff that need paying. There are a wide number of 'stone flooring businesses', these are laying 10-20mm usually imported stone tiles with rebranded names with one modern method of laying. If someone has a showroom with samples they have a good mark-up on those so have a reason to upsell. If they have people whose only financial contribution is from sales, they have a reason to upsell. If they cannot cut and shape stone on site they will not and won't suggest that you use someone who can. So if the business you hire has staff which seem to be able to do everything and ones which do nothing, you're paying one way or another. This sort of business pays low wages to low skilled workers and is obsessed with profit margins. I have transparent pricing because I have a clearly discernible skillset and make a percentage on any materials I supply. Your money goes a lot further with me and you get a truly bespoke floor, to a higher standard.
