Testimonials
Here are extracts from just a few of the references we have received from our clients.
Contracts Manager, Kier London
"Stirling Stone gave excellent service…in terms of good quality design and technical
advice at the start and throughout the projects and in programming and delivering their
subcontract works. They employ very able stonemasons who are able to produce works of
the highest quality and their management team were always available to give support to
the site team and provide accurate costing advice as required."
Senior Project Manager, Taylor Woodrow Management
"The service that you provided, to construct the Portland Stone Atrium at Lutyens House…can only be described as exemplary."
Head of Architectural Services, West Lothian District Council
"I was particularly impressed by the complete professionalism with which you and your colleagues
worked to accomplish the impossible and……I am proud to have worked with a construction team, which,
to a man, worked as a team."
Director, The William Cowie Partnership
"All the work involved was addressed in a most competent and efficient way by the various departments
embraced by Stirling Stone Group, i.e. Stone Design, Stirling Stone and Toffolo Stirling. The work was
carried out expeditiously, on time and at the costs agreed and we would have no hesitation in using this
company in the future."
Senior Architect, TPS Consult
"The commitment of your company and active involvement in resolving problems confirmed the reliability
and skill of your designers and fixing teams with whom it has been a pleasure to work. The quality of
the finished work is outstanding."
Director, GA Management Contracting
"We would have no hesitation in recommending Stirling Stone Ltd. as a subcontractor. The professionalism,
co-operation and attention paid by its staff in meeting schedules and budgetary constraints, in providing
quality workmanship, and in facing (and resolving) changing design conditions/details without engaging in
time consuming and expensive claims are among the attributes of this company."
for Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd.
"We have today stripped the Atrium of scaffolding to reveal the impressive tower stonework. The Clashach
sandstone is truly stunning and an excellent choice of stone as you promised….Once the external stonework
is revealed I am sure 200 Broomielaw will be the ‘talk of the steamie’"
for the City Surveyor, Corporation of London
"The stone masonry ……. is of exceptional quality, especially in the heavy moulded cornices and string
courses, as well as the features, such as the Coat of Arms, the statue of Sir William Walworth and the
‘Greek God’ corbel brackets. The drawings Stirling Stone prepared were of finite detail, including the
design of the concrete backing structure, which enabled the interface to work successfully."
for Trehearne & Norman
"Stirling Stone contributed significantly to the overall success of this very prestigious project and
continually showed a willingness to please and to produce a high standard of work………we were particularly
impressed with the quality of the construction drawings that were produced."
for Comprehensive Design
"This work was closely monitored and approved by the Planning Department and Historic Scotland. The
stonework was completed to a very high standard by Stirling Stone under difficult site conditions and
within a very tight timescale."

promptly. Moreover your design staff were pleasant and helpful."

"Stirling Stone played an important role in the design development of the external enclosure, working closely
with ourselves to ensure that our vision for the building envelope was achieved. Their expertise in this field
was invaluable."
for Page & Park Architects
"The quality of Toffolo Stirling was very good throughout and numerous visitors to the building have enquired
after the company who executed the marble works. We have been happy to recommend you."
Project Quantity Surveyor, Interserve Project Services Ltd
"From the onset your design team took on board the various value engineering decisions that had to be made as well
as the practical difficulties that had to be overcome whilst at the same time ensuring that the aesthetic design
changes never lost the project’s importance of being the largest Sikh Temple in the world, outside of India……a
big thank you to all your site team for their persistent patience and perseverance to ensure that the programme
and the high standard of work were maintained in parallel throughout."
