Historic Stone, "Our sustainable approach to quarrying red sandstone, buff sandstone, white sandstone and other heritage and conservation sandstones has proved that maintaining our built heritage whilst conserving our environment is achievable," says Nick Rymer. Historic Stone has red sandstone reserves ready to be quarried in locations across the UK, stones which will ensure that conserving our built heritage with the correct sandstone rather than the nearest matching sandstone is possible. A white sandstone deposit identified for quarrying will soon be available also ensuring that conservation of many historic treasures can be achieved. "Working closely with Heritage, Conservation architects, Conservation officers, ensures that we continually identify the sandstone requirements for regions throughout the UK. This is where it is important, as a red sandstone present in Staffordshire may not be a suitable red sandstone for a heritage conservation project in Cheshire, Lancashire or Worcestershire. Similarly a buff sandstone quarried in Yorkshire may not be the correct buff sandstone in conserving and restoring a building in Lancashire".
