Lovell Stone Group has grown significantly over recent years and we offer iconic British stone to customers throughout the UK. We own and operate our six quarries across the South West; from the extraction of the mineral to the processing of natural stone, giving us an unrivalled and intricate understanding of the raw material.
The Group has three separate sawing and masonry processing works and four guillotine operations. This enables us to scale production when required but remain agile enough to deliver the bespoke for exacting requirements.
We work with architects, designers, and specifiers during the initial design process and create products tailored to the requirements of individual projects. This service includes design and value-added engineering guidance.
In addition to our own reserves we also process and supply other heritage British Stones such as Portland and Lincolnshire.
Lovell Stone Group continues to invest heavily in state-of-the-art equipment and training to equip our specialist staff with the tools and resources required to provide leading industry knowledge, experience and insight.
We have built a sterling reputation based on our excellent customer service, as well as our ability to supply bespoke products as a competitive price, while maintaining a very high quality.
