The Process

The Process Of Making Our Premium Cropped Facing Stone Consists Of 3 Simple Steps! Starting Of With Our Lorry Bringing Granite Back From A Quarry,  Followed By Drilling And Splitting The Granite Into Square, Manageable Pieces & Then Finally Taking The Stone Into The Cropping Shed To Be Cropped Into Either Risers, Or Standard Facing Stone.

Drilling  & SPLITTING

The Process Of Drilling & Splitting Involves Taking Big Boulders Of Granite, Drilling Holes In It To Make Square, Manageable Pieces For Which We Then Split With Feathers And Wedges. 

We Use 2 Different Drills, A Rock Drill Powered By Our Air Compressor, & Also Our Hilti SDS. Both Drills Have Advantages And Disadvantages But Do The Job Nicely.

Cropping the stone

Once The Stone Has Been Drilled And Split, We Then Load The Granite Into Our Telehandler Bucket With Our Digger, Which Gets Tipped Onto Our Roller System To Feed The Cropping Machines.

From Here, We Proceed To Make Our Premium Cropped Facing Stone! Our Aim Is To Keep The Face As Big As Possible, Making Our Tonnage Production High & Efficient.
