Working With Your Architect, Interior Designer or Builder
Most houses in Oxshott are large detached homes, and many have been rebuilt or newly built. A stone floor in a house like that is often one part of a bigger project, with an architect, a designer and a builder already involved.
Stone Classics Ltd is a small, independent company with over 25 years of experience in natural stone. We work for homeowners, interior designers, architects, builders and property developers, and we are used to being one trade among several on a site.
When we join a project team, this is what we bring:
- A site visit and a design consultation before any stone is ordered
- Samples to look at in the house itself, beside the finishes already chosen
- A clear quote and a timeline at the quote stage
- Subfloor preparation, underfloor heating and stone laying from one company
- Sealing, surface finishing and aftercare advice once the floor is down
If drawings already exist, tell us when you get in touch and we will work from them.
Natural Stone Flooring Through a Whole Ground Floor
In a large Oxshott house, natural stone flooring looks its best when a single stone is carried across the kitchen, the hall and the living rooms. The ground floor then reads as one surface, and doorways stop being the point where one material ends and another begins.
Stone Flooring Set Out as One Floor
Our stone flooring service in Oxshott begins with subfloor preparation, followed by laying, sealing and surface finishing. We lay limestone, marble, granite and travertine. When several rooms share a stone, we set the whole floor out before the first piece goes down, so the joints carry through from room to room.
Many of our limestones are also suitable for use outdoors, so the same stone can continue onto a terrace.
Underfloor Heating Installation in Oxshott
Underfloor heating installation is carried out by our own installers, who work alongside the tiling team. On a whole house project that keeps things simple for your builder: the heating and the floor above it are planned together and fitted by one company.
We install both electric and water based systems. Each one is designed around the floor layout and the way the rooms are used, then tested and commissioned.
Every limestone in our collection is suitable for use over underfloor heating. There is more detail on our underfloor heating page.
Natural Stone Tiling in Each Bathroom and Wet Room
Upstairs, our natural stone tiling in Oxshott covers bathroom and wet room floors and walls, in limestone, marble or travertine. A large house usually has several bathrooms, and using stone in each of them gives the upper floor the same finish as the rooms below.
Stone Tiling for Kitchens and Feature Walls
Stone tiling in an Oxshott house also takes in kitchen splashbacks, feature walls, and patios and entrances outside. We repair, regrout and restore existing tiles as well. The full list is on our tiling services page.
Stone Supplier in Oxshott
As a stone supplier, we offer the Timeless Stone Collection, our own range of limestone flooring. It comes in aged, tumbled, textured and smooth finishes, and in random length formats that give the look of a traditional flagstone floor.
For a newly built house, the smoother stones are a sensible place to start. Chepstow has creamy tones and a smooth surface, Fontwell is a neutral stone with a pillowed edge, and Kelso and Southwell are greys.
Every stone is sealed. We bring samples to the house so that you, your designer or your architect can judge them against the kitchen and the paint colours. The brochure is on our stone supplier page.
Our Own Team, Clear Timelines and Clear Pricing
Every tiler at Stone Classics Ltd is full time and directly employed by us. You are given a clear quote and a timeline at the quote stage, and our pricing is transparent.
Flooring Company: From Subfloor to Finished Surface
As a flooring company working in Oxshott, we take a floor from the bare subfloor to the sealed, finished surface. That means preparation, heating, laying and finishing, along with the repair and restoration of existing stonework.
Tiling Company: Kitchens, Bathrooms and Wet Rooms
As a tiling company for Oxshott homes, we tile walls and floors in kitchens, bathrooms and wet rooms with the same employed team. We work on new builds and on listed and period properties.
The Area We Cover
Oxshott is a village in the Borough of Elmbridge, between Esher, Cobham and Leatherhead. Oxshott Heath and its woods sit beside the village, the Prince’s Coverts woodland lies to the east, and Stoke D’Abernon is immediately to the west.
Many of the residential roads are private and gated, including the Crown Estate roads. If your road has a gate or set hours for deliveries, let us know when you book a visit and we will plan around it.
Questions Homeowners and Builders Ask
At what stage of a build should the stone be chosen?
Early. The thickness of the stone, and of any heating beneath it, affects the finished floor level, so it helps if your architect or builder knows the choice before floor levels and door thresholds are fixed. We can visit and bring samples while the house is still being designed.
Can one stone run through several rooms?
Yes. We set the floor out as a whole before laying begins, so the pattern continues from room to room. Random length formats suit long runs through connected rooms.
Who will be on site doing the work?
Our own people. Every tiler is full time and directly employed by Stone Classics Ltd, and the underfloor heating is fitted by our own installers working alongside them.
