Reclaimed Cotswold Stone




As a reclamation yard based in the heart of the Cotswolds, natural stone to us predominantly means our local Cotswold limestone. This seam of limestone runs through six counties across the region and displays great colour variation from the whiter Bathstone in the South, through to the richer yellow colouring found in the North Cotswold villages such as Broadway and Stanton.
Reclaimed Cotswold stone is one of our specialities here at Winchcombe Reclamation with us sourcing large quantities of this material for stock, often through our own demolition works. This enables us to ensure consistancy and quality for our customers and, by having such a varied stock, we are often able to offer choices to find the most sympathetic stone match for your project.
Our reclaimed Cotswold building stone is hand sorted, measured and sold by the face Msq. We are able to supply specific course requirements if necessary and can crop the stone down to specific bed depths in line with modern building practices.
We also supply large amounts of reclaimed walling stone - as seen used as field boundaries across the Cotswolds. This is available either in mixed bags or sold by the measured Msq.

As we supply such high volumes of this material, it is advisable to contact us with your requirements at the earliest opportunity as, at busy times, it is necessary for us to have a substantial lead-in time to fulfill orders.

Reclaimed Cotswold Stone Tiles

We are specialist suppliers of reclaimed Cotswold Stone Tiles with a sound knowledge of both the product and it's application. We stock various stone tile in large quantities and also keep runs of reclaimed stone ridge in stock.
Our approach may be different to that of other suppliers. Rather than selling the reclaimed stone slates as they come off the roof, (mixed sizes, varying quality) our stock is sorted, measured, re-drilled if needed and re-dressed. This means that we work on very little or no waste and generate less labour for the roofer, preventing them from having to spend time sorting through a mixed cage to measure what tiles they have on site and how best to use them.
We offer site visits and consultations which enable us to provide a full quotation for your job and a batten schedule can be provided in advance.
We are available to purchase Cotswold stone slates that are due to be removed, stripping the tile ourselves if required. We also work closely with our nominated roofing contractors should you wish to look at a complete re-roofing project.
As we supply such high volumes of this material, it is advisable that you contact us with your requirements at the earliest opportunity as, at busy times, it is necessary for us to have a substantial lead-in time to fulfill orders.
