Seasonal Update

Following a year that has seen us supply vast quantities of reclaimed stone and dress hundreds of thousands of stone tiles we, for one, are looking forward to a little 'down time' over Christmas.
As usual, the yard will be closed for a fortnight (this year running from December 18th to January 4th) and we wanted to give people advanced warning of this.
Our vehicles are getting booked up for deliveries so, should you be giving your project that 'final push' before Christmas and are looking for materials to be on site for December, orders need to be confirmed, paid for and pencilled in for delivery over the next few weeks. Also, any materials at the yard awaiting collection will need to be moved before our two week shut down......
We are already looking ahead to a busy start in the New Year. If you have confirmed jobs for 2016, it is advisable to contact us as soon as possible to get materials on order - particularly high-demand materials such as building & walling stone and stone tiles, as we are beginning to fill up our schedule of works.......

Should you be looking to acquire any paving materials for next year, some of our current stock includes 800Msq of Portland, 300Msq of Bathstone and over 600M sq of York flag.
We have also undertaken a large Oxfordshire stone project recently - please call for more details.

Zaza'sBlog - November 2015

Hello,
Well, what a month it's been! I'm still settling in to my new surroundings and must admit that although the weather is more misty and cold than I am used to, it's relaxing to perch in my spot at Winchcombe Reclamation overseeing all that goes on - it certainly makes a refreshing change from being cvhased across the Savanah by cheatahs!
Some of you may have seen my friend 'Wryno' traveloling through the cotswolds recently. He is usually based in Cornwall but, in aid of World Rhino Day, made a journey up here to visit. Keep an eye out for him - he's the 4m tall rhino sculpture being towed by a customised van - quite hard to miss!
Recently I have enjoyed all the fun of the mop fair and am excited about what November brings - in particular the upcoming firework celebrations. Fireworks aren't something that I'm used to though and I believe they effect other animals at this time so don't forget to get advice on how to protect animals at this time.
My social calendar has already begun to fill up with lots of events to look forward to such as the Open meeting at Cheltenham and the run up to Christmas ( I can't wait to see the special Santa trains go past from Toddington railway!) Overall, things have been pretty busy with many people stopping by to say hello and, now that I'm something of a local celebrity, I'm starting to enjoy the attention. I've even started to learn more about social media and you can now follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.....
