Businesses involved in the cutting, shaping and finishing of stone prepare natural and manufactured stone for use in buildings, interiors, memorials and landscaping. They work with materials such as granite, marble, limestone, slate and sandstone, as well as engineered stone. Work may be carried out from drawings, templates or measurements taken on site, with the finished pieces supplied to builders, stonemasons, designers or private customers. Typical services include sawing blocks and slabs to size, shaping edges, drilling holes, carving details and polishing or honing surfaces. Products can include kitchen worktops, bathroom surfaces, flooring, wall cladding, paving, steps, fireplaces, stone sills and architectural features. Some businesses also produce gravestones, plaques and ornamental stonework. They may offer repairs, alterations and finishing treatments, with the choice of process depending on the stone type and its intended use.
