For over nine centuries the building stones from the Grinshill area have become recognised for their outstanding durability and aesthetic quality, achieving nationally important status on buildings such as Chequers and Downing Street. The physical hardness and chemical structure of the stone give it a unique coherence and resistance to the elements.

Quality of the sandstone
Architects, conservation bodies and planning authorities have long
recognised the inherent value of Grinshill stone for meeting the
exacting requirements of restoration work.
The colour range enables close colour matching in the most testing of renovation projects. This makes the stone popular in many parts of the British Isles, where it will easily blend with local stonework.
