Cumbria Quarrying Services: Our Story

Cumbria Quarrying Services utilises over 75 years of experience within the quarrying industry in the supplying and manufacturing of architectural stone to ensure that we provide the best possible product within the UK.

Cumbria Quarrying Services was founded by Alan and Sharon Hamilton in 2005 with the purchase of their first site, Bowscar Quarry. The site has been quarried for decades and it’s believed that the stone had been used in and around the local area for centuries. Alan started to re-quarry the site back in 2005 and the business has continued to grow since.

We now operate across five quarries in the North of England including Lazonby, Orton Scar, Corncockle, Lambhill and Salterwath. We employ over 15 staff members, with a combined experience of over 75 years in the stone industry.

As the market leader in the natural stone industry, we remain committed to being an independent, family-run business, providing high-quality masonry stone and walling stone across the country.

We process all our stone through our onsite factory using state-of-the-art machinery. Using the latest technology, we can create bespoke and made-to-measure natural stone with ease whilst creating a competitive and aesthetically pleasing product for all industries.
