Did you know that the location of a building usually determined the colour of the building's fa�ade as transporting stone was not usually an option?

We discuss the colour of stone and it's relevant to historic builds throughout the years over on our latest blog

Natural stone has been used as a building material for thousands of years. The Romans were famed for their construction prowess and the Ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramids with quarried limestone and granite hewn by hand into huge blocks, each weighing many tons.

Our design and production teams used their skills and expertise to take this architect's concept, develop the idea into working construction details and product the highest quality stonework, as well as meeting a tight deadline

Traditional construction combined with 21st Century living is how best to describe a new development recently completed in central Cambridge by builder, Suffolk based, Cocksedge, and Serene Stone were delighted to be involved.

One of the questions we're regularly asked:
What is the difference between semi dry stone and wetcast stone?'

We discuss this over on our latest blog

Our semi dry stone, as the name suggests, is manufactured using a low water content and a mixture of high quality fine natural aggregates, colouration pigments and additives.

Question. What do the White House, the Royal Opera House, and the Pantheon in Rome all have in common?

They all have a portico

Portico from the Latin ‘porticus’ is a roofed porch or colonnade that fronts on to a building entrance, usually supported by columns or enclosed by walls, and was widely used in ancient Greece.
