Portland Stone

Architects and designers have chosen Portland Stone for over a thousand years. It is quarried on the Isle of Portland, Dorset.

Many of the greatest buildings in London are constructed from Portland Stone.

We currently use Jordans Basebed, which has small grey shell fragments, but is almost a 'shell free' basebed, and the cleanest Portland stone ever produced.

Reference projects: St Paul's Cathedral; Buckingham Palace (eastern side); Somerset House; Bank of England; Mansion House; National Gallery; United Nations HQ (New York).

Portland stone is suitable for internal and external use.
