High in the hills this quarry is the last remaining independent slate quarries in the Coniston area. Access to the quarry is via a rugged hair pinned track, unpassable for normal vehicles. Posts for Granite and Slate Signs Large granite and slate signs are heavy and if you want to fix them to posts it is advisable to provide extra support. This can be done with a support bar under the stone or by insetting the sign into the posts itself. The sign with support bar can be sent assembled. Contempory Slate House Signs We can create the slate signs in reverse with the background painted in very hard wearing two pack paint and the lettering and designs engraved away and left the colour of the slate. The result is really effective - an unusual slate house sign with a modern feel. It also means we are able to use a lot more detail within the sign and can match Farrow and Ball colours too. Large Slate Signage For our large slate signs we use slate at 20mm, 30mm or 50mm thick. The signs are available in four standard heights - 225mm (9 inches), 300mm (12 inches), 450mm (18 inches), 600mm (24 inches) They can be cut to any length as required. Lettering can be raised and unpainted as shown in the photo. Slate House Sign with Raised Lettering This is a new type of slate house sign which looks very smart indeed. It can be designed with or without a border and to any size. The background is blasted away and painted, which leaves the slate lettering slighty raised and proud of the background which can be painted or left natural 3D effect Slate Sign Purbeck Stone Signs Many of our customers now prefer to have their stone sign made with stone quarried in the UK, rather than one which has been imported from China or India. Purbeck stone is a very durable and hard wearing stone quarried in Dorset. The stone is cut for us to a thickness of 30mm. Memorial Slate & Granite Wedges These granite wedges or plinths are 100mm at the back and 50mm at the front. This provides a sloping plinth to mount a corian, engraved brass or bronze plaque. Alternatively we can engraved the lettering directly into the granite or the slate The lettering is then painted. Good value standard sizes. Stone Memorial Tablets These lovely stone memorial tablets are made from thick slate or thick granite. We have 20mm, 30mm, 50mm & 75mm slate plus five different 30mm granites. There are a number of standard sizes which are intended to be set into a lawn or garden. We have created some suggested layouts, but we can, as always, create a unique stone tablet. Good Value Etched Slate Memorial Using this method the slate is surfaced etched using a laser. This technique is ideal where smaller text or detailed images are required which cannot be deep engraved or sandblasted into the slate. We are also able to laser etch good photos into slate. We can combine the two methods, whereby we deep engraved and paint the lettering and add a laser engraved photo. Laser etching takes us less time and materials than sand-blasting or deep engraving and therefore it is cheaper. Boulders for Entrance Signs There is celtic grey and black granite along with Purbeck Stone boulders which can be used for Entrance Signs or even a memorial stones. Slate Number Sign Slate house numbers can made in several sizes and in all sorts of styles. We have a variety of ideas on the page to look at but you can choose your own font, border, logo, colour etc. Prices start at £15.75 for a simple 100mm x 100mm (4" x 4") house number. Oval and round plaques also available. White Edged Slate Signs This is a simple but very effective technique whereby the letters and the border edge of the sign are sandblasted away. These are then painted (usually white) along with the sides. The overall effective is very smart indeed. The slate is normally 12mm thick although we could use 20mm for the larger signs upon request. (Write in notes box on order form and we will let you know the small extra cost) Rustic Slate House Signs These rustic edge slate house signs are excellent value for money. They are made from 6-8mm slate with a rough edge finish. The letters are carved into the slate by sand blasting and then painted with a very tough and durable external paint. The softer colours such as Farrow & Ball Purbeck Stone or Lichen look very effective on this type of slate sign.

The letters sizes available are 30mm, 40mm and 50mm. Signs are available either 100mm high or 200mm high. Less choice, only one font, but very good value for money. Fast delivery. Personalised Slate Doorsteps These are really unique and add a lovely touch to the entrance of your home or business. Can be cut to any size. Price includes two images. As these are unpainted it is best to choose a bold font. The sand blasted design also adds grip to the step as smooth slate can be slippery in the wet. Slate Bar Tops We have a good stock of large pieces of slate ideal for slate bar tops. The thickness of the slate is 30mm. The standard widths are 300mm, 450mm and 600mm and we can cut to any length. We also bevel the edges and oil the surface. They do look superb in home bars and garden pubs. The surfaces can be plain or have wording engraved in. Round and Oval Slate & Granite Name Plates Round and oval slate signs are slightly more expensive than straight edged signs due to the extra cutting costs involved. However they look very effective in certain settings and can be worth the extra cost. Sizes from 150mm - 600mm ( 6 inches - 24 inches). Corian Name Plates This is not stone but as it looks like stone and has a cold stone like finish, we have included it in this section. It is actually a mixture of clear acrylic resin, stone dust and pigments. It is perfect for signs in that it is durable, fade proof and virtually maintenance free. The letter size can be as small as 7.5mm unlike real stone which has a minimum letter height of 25mm. Slate Memorials Memorials can be cut from slate to any size. Letters can be blasted into the stone down to a size of 15mm high. Small letters are left unpainted. We can slate of any thickness - 12mm, 20mm, 30mm or 50mm. - Just tell us what you want. Hand Painted Images Make your house sign completely unique with an image hand painted into an inset panel. You pet can even be painted onto the sign or memorial. Detailed Laser Etched Images Usually the images on signs and memorials are sand carved into the stone with the lettering. For images with fine detail this is not possible. However, using a laser we have developed a technique to laser in this fine detail. We can also used this method to include blocks of small text, maybe a poem within a memorial plaque. The cost is just an extra £10.
