SPECIALISTS The technical team

We don’t just love the design and sourcing process; we underpin this with solid technical knowledge. Each of our team has a particular specialism and they have been there, on the ground – installing the products and finding the right solutions for years. There isn’t much we haven’t seen, which means we avoid the showstoppers you could otherwise face, and can troubleshoot anything unforeseen that arises. Our specialists will ensure your surfaces look great and perform long into the future.

Ordering samples

Once you have browsed our collection you may wish to see samples of the products you’re considering. You can do this on the individual product’s detail page, where a cut sample is available.

If you’re nearby, pop in to our Bath-based design centre to look at larger versions of the samples – we have thousands and will help you navigate the plethora of trend, material, colour and finish choices. Together, we hone your vision and define the best package of products to achieve the look you seek within the budget you set. You are also very welcome to borrow samples, including large slabs, to help make your final decision.

*Please note - stone and wood are natural products and are, therefore, susceptible to variations in structure, veining and tonality. Samples should be considered an approximate rather than exact representation.
