Excuse my ignorance Tony but how often should there be an expansion joint?

Yeah, buy them a proper scarifier for rendering, only cost 2 or 3 quid :D

We're looking for a production manager for our stone masonry operation. If anyone knows anybody give me a shout. We're offering a decent salary. Stone masonry experience is beneficial but anyone with a background in production, a cool head and broad shoulders would get the hang of it very quickly

We've finally managed to get our hands on a second showroom. We've been after one for ages but could not find the right place. New showroom is at Coolings garden centre in Kockholt, Kent. The site was formerly run by one of our main competitors, Silverland stone. Were opening up on 1st April :D

superb Steve

I'm glad you was off on holiday the first week in January as I was going to call and see your place and the stone products you supply but seeing as your constructing a new show area I am happy waiting until its all completed

Cheers Mick

Its been in the balance for quite a few months and finally got sorted out last week. Were renovating the current showroom until the end of the month and then were going to jump on the new showroom and get that built in March for an April opening.

Most welcome to come down, whenever your in the area. Let us know when your coming so I can make sure I'm around

I'm not normally in the area to be honest but the first week in Jan this year I had a few days down near Southampton so I was going to travel down the M1 M25 and call to see you rather than down the M40 A34 and onto the M3

I will make the time again as soon as your finished with the work on your showrooms, I look forward to seeing your range of paving :)

Mick, where were you planning to join M1, up north or at Coventry?

Congratulations Steve,


This isn't too far from me. I'll take a visit when you're open. Is it a decent garden center?

There are a couple of pictures of the garden centre here. Its quite modern inside and is very well maintained

I Like it.

Very good idea to be next to / a part of a garden centre. You'll feed off each other. I'm sure that was the plan but it should pay off.
