Stone Matching for Existing Buildings and Walls
Finding stone that works well alongside existing masonry can make a significant difference to the finished appearance of a project. MB Stones Ltd can help identify and source stone for garden walls, extensions, commercial buildings, repairs and restoration work.
We consider the stone’s colour, size, texture, tooling and level of weathering to find an option that complements the existing building. Available finishes can include punch-faced stone, Delph stone, parallel-punch stone and other traditional walling styles, subject to stock and availability.
Our Process
How It Works
Tell Us What You Need to Match
Send us clear photographs of the existing wall or building, along with approximate measurements and details of the quantity required. You are also welcome to arrange a visit to our Holmfirth yard.
We Assess the Stone
We assess the colour, face finish, dimensions, coursing and weathering of the existing masonry before checking our available stock and sourcing options.
Choose the Closest Match
We provide photographs or details of the most suitable available options so you can review the stone before placing your order and arranging collection or delivery.
Benefits
Why Choose Us for Stone Matching?
A More Natural-Looking Finish
We look beyond colour alone, considering the stone’s texture, size, tooling and weathering to find an option that sits naturally alongside the existing masonry.
Different Stone Types and Finishes
Our stock and sourcing options can include punch-faced stone, Delph stone, parallel-punch stone and a variety of reclaimed and natural walling stone.
Practical, Experienced Advice
With over 12 years of hands-on building trade experience, we can offer practical advice based on the type of property, existing stonework and intended use.
Stone matching can be useful when building an extension, repairing a damaged wall or adding new masonry to an older property. Using stone with a similar face finish, course height and colour helps the new work blend more naturally with the original building.
Our regularly changing stock includes reclaimed and natural stone in a variety of sizes, textures and finishes. As reclaimed stone varies from one batch to another, we recommend contacting us as early as possible so we can check current stock or discuss suitable sourcing options.
