If you would like to see our displays come to see us at 210 Upper Tulse Hill, London, SW2 2NS. Yorkstone is a term used to describe sandstone that has been quarried in Yorkshire. There is much variation between different types of sandstone, but the unifying factor amongst the varieties from Yorkshire is their durability.
This is a consequence of their fine grained structure, as opposed to other varieties of sandstone such as 'gritstone'. Yorkstone is a traditional London stone, especially for paving and steps. If you'd like to see examples of our London stone steps please take a look at our portfolio and interactive maps.
Portland Stone is a Jurassic period limestone quarried exclusively on the Isle of Portland in Dorset. The stone formed on the floor of a shallow, warm sub-tropical sea. It's main constituent is calcium carbonate and the calcified remains of shelled sea creatures are a pleasing feature of the material.

Steps
Report
Yorkstone, or Yorkshire Stone, is a generic name for sandstone quarried in the North of England. It is characterised by its fine, tightly packed, grains which make it an ideal hard wearing material for use as steps and other architectural masonry. The colour of the stone differs depending upon the area in which it is quarried and the minerals which form the stone.
Paving
Report
We are able to offer a variety of York Stone and Portland Stone paving products, please contact us for our latest prices. Diamond sawn and non-slip, this material is identical to that used for steps. The image shows an unusual beige-blue Yorkstone, but we can supply various single colour slabs in buff or grey York or creamy white Portland stones.

English City Stone are able to offer you a variety of bespoke York and Portland stone products. None of our items are "off the shelf", so if you can provide us with measurements or drawings we can produce to your requirements. Alternatively we can visit you at your home, offer advice and take any measurements ourselves.
Fitting Service
Report
It's important to know that you're in safe hands when you consider the implications and possible difficulties of replacing old steps with new stone steps. That's why all of our stone fitters are employed directly - we know the credentials of each worker and take full responsibility for their work. The processes involved in removing a set of steps and installing new are varied and complex.
