These are offered in different finishes and sizes. Design Stone Works also indicates that it can source specific materials on request, including book-matched stone, working closely with its suppliers.

Fabrication and workshop capabilities

Design Stone Works operates its own workshop with a CNC machine for precision cutting. Worktops are hand-polished in a variety of edge details. According to the company, all stone is processed in Norwich before being installed. The bespoke service covers large-format manufacture for worktops, fireplaces and bathrooms.

Clients and project types

The company lists designers, builders and developers, kitchen showrooms and the general public among its clients. Projects have included supplying and installing stone for swimming pools, manufacturing stone stair treads, commercial work for bars and restaurants, and numerous kitchen worktops. The site also shows examples such as Jerusalem Gold Limestone, Polished Carrara Marble, Super White Quartz, Nero Marquina Quartz, Absolute Black Granite (Honed) and Lunar Quartz.

Process from quote to installation

The process begins with a quote: customers can call, email or visit the showroom with a kitchen plan or measurements to discuss material choices, edge profiles and finishing touches. Once an order is confirmed, a trained team visits to measure accurately. Installation is carried out by senior fitters, with work assessed throughout the process.

Customer feedback

The website includes testimonials from clients. One mentions being impressed by Dean during templating and by Dean and Ryan during fitting, and says they would recommend the company. Another praises the Star Galaxy worktop and the professional service from enquiry to completion. A further comment describes the experience from ordering to templating and fitting as 100% and thanks Lindsay and the fitting team.
