North East experts offer solid guarantee

Darlington-based Stone Technical Services has been accepted into the Stone Federation of Great Britain, one of the industry’s leading accreditation bodies.

The organisation is the national trade association for the natural stone industry, setting the highest standards and continually promoting best practice and professionalism in the sector.

Stone Technical Services, one of the UK’s leading high level and general maintenance and specialist restoration companies, had to meet strict criteria to join the federation which offers clients the assurance that a company employs a trained workforce, carries the correct insurance cover, follows tight codes of practice, adheres to all relevant British standards and has an adequate health and safety policy.

The company is one of the most highly accredited in the industry and is also a recognised member of organisations including the Association of Technical Lightning and Access Specialists (ATLAS), Lightning Conductor Engineers, the Steeplejack Training Group Association and the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) andoperates to the highest compliance standards for health and safety.

Thanks to its reputation, Stone Technical Services has seen a rapid growth in 2012, including the opening of its Edinburgh office to add to its sites in central London, Middlesex and Cheshire and its HQ onKellaw Road in Darlington.

Experts at the company work all over the UK with high profile organisations such as INEOS Plant Utilities at Seal Sands, Teesside Power Station,English Heritage, the National Trust, the NHS, British Waterways and Network Rail to carry out a range of maintenance, safety and conservation projects.

In addition, Stoneis the approved contractor managing lightning protection onSt Paul’s Cathedral and works with housing associations, historic structures, churches, war memorials, schools, offices, car parks andcouncils.

Managing director, Dave Stone, said: “This latest accreditation from the Stone Federation of Great Britain is further evidence of how important we feel industry recognition is in our sector. Fewer companies than ever have the correct accreditations as you do have to work hard and dedicate a lot of time to achieving the. But it guarantees that whatever work we do- be it designing, fixing, restoring or constructing- will be of the highest quality at the right price.”
