Case Study: Luxury Housing Development, Altrincham – Corsehill Sandstone Supply

Overview

Our team recently supplied high-quality natural stone for a prestigious private housing development in Altrincham, Cheshire. The project consists of seven luxury detached city homes, each designed to combine modern architectural detail with timeless materials. Working closely with the architect and main contractor, we provided a full package of Corsehill sandstone, expertly cut and finished to meet the bespoke design requirements of the development.

Our Supply

As the project’s natural stone supplier, we provided all Corsehill sandstone components for the external façades, including:

• Heads and cills

• Jambs and string courses

• Copings

• Bay window details

• Bespoke architectural pieces

Every element was precision-cut to specification, ensuring a seamless fit and consistent tone across all seven homes. Our in-house team worked from detailed architectural drawings to deliver both standard and one-off pieces, maintaining accuracy and quality throughout.
