A HERITAGE SET IN STONE Dunhouse have over 75 years experience in the quarrying and supply of dimensional building stone. We pride ourselves in being one of the UK’s leading suppliers and offer a portfolio of Natural stones for the construction industry. State of the art machinery is used to keep pace with the latest technological innovation and rapid growth in new building methods. Computer-controlled diamond circular saws and profiling machinery ensure natural stone maintains the tolerances required for modern design concepts and construction methods, providing competitive and aesthetically pleasing features for contemporary buildings. Dunhouse Quarry is recognised as one of the market leaders for supplying masonry projects in the UK and our expertise and capacity has secured projects across Europe, USA and the Middle East. HERITAGE SET IN STONE CAPABLE AND ACCOUNTABLE

Dunhouse currently operate nine quarries in the North of England and Scotland. We quarry a wide range of stone, including buff stone from Northumberland and Durham, Scottish Red Sandstone, and Weardale self bedded paving and walling stone. Large stock levels of block stone are maintained to ensure continuity of production. Our factory at Staindrop is comprehensively equipped to supply bespoke masonry on any scale necessary, enabling us to take on the most challenging of jobs. For example The Scarborough Pier replacement required us to quarry 12000 tonnes of block and supply 1800m3 of masonry in twelve months. Our Lathes and CNC machinery have turned columns and balustrade for many prestigious projects including column segments for Covent Garden and Victoria Bus Station. We have had the pleasure in supplying the intricate carving to many restoration projects, notably, Jenners refurbishment (Edinburgh) and The Scottish National Portrait Gallery (Edinburgh) both requiring large scale replacement of fine masonry. CAPABLE AND ACCOUNTABLE CAPABLE FROM THE DRAWING BOARD

At Dunhouse, we can offer a comprehensive design service for our clients. From conception to completion, we can assist with all of your design requirements, producing CAD drawings, full sized templates and providing three dimensional stone details. We also accept client drawings in most formats, to edit and return with stone detailing, and references.
