ABOUT PORTLAND STONE

Portland stone is the premium stone that will transform your project into a masterpiece.
We supply stone for demanding applications on prestigious projects. Architects specify Portland stone for it’s aesthetic appeal, immense strength under compression and extreme durability. It is therefore, the perfect medium for external cladding, high traffic paving, carving sculpture and memorials.

Testimonials
“The specified stone for the Flanders memorial garden was chosen as the same stone used in the arch of the Menin gate in Leper (Ypres).
From day one, Portland stone Australia went above and beyond to provide the services requested for this project. Detailed technical specifications of the stone, cleaning and sealers for the stone were provided. Graham Tizzard personally escorted the project team in England to view other similar projects, the quarry itself and most importantly, the materials in manufacture for the comprehensive approval of the stone pieces and packaging for freight.
Portland stone Australia supplied 18 pieces, and 4 spare pieces, of Portland stone Jordans Basebed for the project. Portland stone Australia organised the complex delivery of the stone from Portland, England to Amsterdam where the stone was then airfreighted by the Australian Air Force to Australia. This was handled most professionally and the high level of assistance required to provide the meticulous transport documentation and clearances was most appreciated.
The opening of the Flanders Memorial Garden at the Australian War Memorial in April 2017 was one of the most significant events in the Centenary.
Key to the Flanders Memorial Garden, Portland stone Australia supplied the stone on time and to the highest standards required for this project of national significance for Australia.
I commend Portland stone Australia to any prospective client and would be very happy to elaborate further should anyone wish to contact me.”
Nadine O’Keeffe
General Manager, Built Pty Ltd
“I wish to thank you for organizing the supply of stone slabs for a large project that we undertook in Cottesloe Western Australia.
We ordered a large amount of stone, in excess of 250m2. The stone arrived on time and had been packed exceptionally well. There was no chance of the stone moving during its long voyage to Australia from Europe where it was sourced.
The product itself was a beautiful stone and looked sensational once installed.
I would certainly recommend Portland Stone, if you are looking for quality over quantity.
Thank you again for all of your help Graham from start to finish.”
“Hi Graham, just wanted to say a big ‘Thank you’ for all your assistance on the Flinders house. Your product turned out to be exceptional. The result was beyond our expectations. The accuracy of the cutting enabled us to keep on site wastage to a minimum. Thanks again for all your help.”
Lawrence Ng. Architect
WOODS BAGOT
“I was very impressed with the quality of the Portland stone you supplied for our very prestigious project at the Australian War.Memorial in Canberra.
As you know, we ordered 4 additional pieces of the Portland stone to mitigate the risk of any stone being delivered with a defect and of course as promised every stone was perfect and the 4 additional pieces are now safely in storage at the Australian War Memorial.
The stone being so finely grained was a pleasure to work and letter cut into. The results are fortunately in the public arena for all to see and appreciate. We look very forward to working with you on the supply of more of this marvellous product in the near future.”
James Ginter
Director Traditional Restoration Company
“Thanks for your excellent efforts in sourcing and supplying the Portland stone for my recent Flinders project. The end result is amazing with a very happy client and architect. Quality and format accuracy were a key to this unique project and you excelled in both departments. Thanks again. Richard.”
Richard Remato
Director Flinders project
“Hi Graham, just wanted to say thanks very much for all your efforts with the stone for the Point Leo project. The client is over the moon with the result. As for us, we were impressed with the quality of the Portland stone and how accurately it had been cut to size. This made the installation that much easier. I would have no hesitation using Portland stone on future projects and recommending you to others. Thanks again.”
