Stone Matching Made Simple
Not all jobs are new builds, with the majority being restorations, extensions or simply adding a wall to match with the main house. This is where stone matching comes in and this is a service we provide completely free of charge.
Most stone matching goes wrong for one simple reason, it focuses on colour alone, but getting a natural match is about more than that. If the texture, size or laying style is off, the new stone will stand out immediately.
How it works
- Send us your project – Photos, plans, locality
- We assess your stone – We look at colour, texture, size and shape
- We recommend the Best Match – This will be from our range of British Stone and sometimes will be more than one stone
- We can also provide you with an AI generated photo with the suggested stone(s)
- You decide how to proceed – No pressure, no obligation and we will always give you our honest opinion
Common mistakes
- Matching to a single small sample
- Ignoring texture differences
- Choosing the wrong build style
- Not considering weathering
- Forgetting corners and jointing
At Black Mountain Quarries, we have Natural British Stone from all over the UK and experience in matching across different regions. We can recommend blends, send out samples and generate AI pictures to ensure that the customer is 100% happy with their selected stone.
