Tip 1: Do they manufacture the granite and where? |
|
Unfortunately
these days many companies state that they manufacture but sadly they
don't. Many are merely middle men who take your order and pass it on to
another company to manufacture and install. Although on the face of it
this seems fine but what happens when things go wrong? Lots of
customers have approached us with stories of various companies who
promise the sun the moon and the stars until a problem appears. Then
the famous finger pointing exercises come into play and you as the
customer are left in the middle until the issue gets finally resolved.
This can be many months in some cases. |
Over
the last few years there has been a spate of eastern European companies
venturing into our market. Many of these such companies offer extremely
competitive pricing but fall way short of the mark with regards to
quality and final finish. It has been reported on a few web sites that
these companies operate from a distance using templaters and
installation teams who live in bed and breakfasts up and down the
country. Whilst this may seem to be a great money saving idea do you
really want to place your order worth a couple of thousand pounds with
a company like this? |
All
of our manufacturing is completed in the UK by trained skilled stone
masons (many of them 2nd & 3rd generation). We service all of
England and Wales and the lower half of Scotland from four factories.
Each factory is open to viewing (by appointment only) so you can see
the measure of our Guild. Below are some images of our machines used to
create your worktops. |
