Andrew Smith, Senior Buyer at CG Fry & Son, said: “When we initially designed this development, it was crucial we utilised building materials that were not only structurally resilient, but aesthetically sympathetic to the local vernacular. 

Constructed of carefully selected blends of locally sourced natural aggregates and pigments, which are expertly combined with sand, cement and stones, Ibstock's reconstituted walling stone authentically reflects the texture and visual appearance of natural stone, whilst providing future homeowners with a robust and durable exterior that requires minimal ongoing maintenance. 

As one of the region’s largest independent suppliers of facing brick and stone, South West Brick and Stone has partnered with Ibstock for over a decade. Speaking of the relationship, Managing Director, Gary Norton, said: “We understand we are only as good as our supply chain, which is why we only distribute certified products, such as the Shearstone range, which we know will always perform.

“Through our strong working relationship with Ibstock, we have been able to support CG Fry & Sons in replicating the rustic appearance of Wiltshire’s most recognisable natural stone to not only meet planning requirements, but set the standard for performance and efficiency.”
