Humber Cast Stone

Architectural cast stone made on site in Hull

Humber Cast Stone describes itself as a professional manufacturer of architectural cast stone products, with an extensive range covering both architectural and landscaping pieces in several colours and styles. All of its cast stone is produced on site at the company's Hull premises by its own skilled tradesmen, rather than being bought in from third parties.

The company is based at Unit 3a, Carlton Street, Hull, in East Yorkshire, and sells through an online shop as well as taking direct enquiries by telephone and email.

Product range

The catalogue is organised into distinct families of cast stone elements, with the largest groups being garden decor and the architectural trims used to finish walls and piers:

• Window cills and window heads, presented as two of the core lines
• Wall copings (58 products listed)
• Wall band course (78 products listed)
• Pier caps (67 products listed)
• Wall finials (24 products listed)
• Garden decor (118 products listed)
• Balustrade (4 products listed)
• Date and name stones (3 products listed)
• Quoins (2 products listed)
• Pier string course (1 product listed)
• Porticos (1 product listed)

The shop also flags new products, which the company says are added to the website on a regular basis and collected in a dedicated section.

Colours and finishes

Every product in the range is offered in three colours: Buff, Natural Portland and Charcoal. The company has also announced improvements to product strength and finish quality, presented in its news section as a step up in the performance of its pieces.

Lead times and order handling

Delivery times are a recurring theme in the company's communications, and the figures have shifted over time. The site's own summary states that Humber Cast Stone strives to fulfil all orders within two to three weeks, and invites customers needing an order sooner to call so it can be fast-tracked. The news section records a sequence of announcements: lead times reduced to four to six weeks in January, then to two to three weeks in March. Because these are production statements tied to specific dates, they should be read as the position the company reported at the time of each announcement rather than a fixed guarantee.

For larger assignments, the company invites a call to discuss pricing.

Manufacturing capability

Production is carried out in-house, and the company has announced the launch of a dedicated in-house mould facility as an expansion of its services. Its news updates also document the scale of work leaving the site, including a consignment of 27 pallets carrying more than 108 products, and an order of over 150 cast stone pieces supplied to Travis Perkins. A separate project note describes a porch renovation carried out with classic cast stone details, and another highlights a returning customer who used two pieces from the Buckingham Birdbath Collection in a garden.

Practical information

The website includes dedicated pages on delivery, on handling cast stone, and a FAQ, alongside refund and returns policy, privacy policy and terms and conditions. Payment methods listed on the site are Visa, PayPal, Stripe, MasterCard, American Express, Apple Pay and credit card.
