Testimonials
get in touch
We are so pleased with the beautiful black granite nameplate manufactured by Somerville Stone for our house. The service was exemplary. We asked for several changes and each time we were sent a new proof to review to ensure we were happy. The item was extremely well packaged and arrived very quickly after ordering. We also felt the price was extremely good for the exceptional quality of the item. I cannot praise this company highly enough and would order again without hesitation.
Caron Robinson
Darren and the team done such an amazing job on my sons headstone. Such a stressful part on making sure it was perfect and they made it happen. I completely recommend somerville.
Glen Archbold
What a brilliant company. Wish all companies had the same work ethic. Darren in particular stood out. He and his team came up with a beautiful stone plaque design as a gift for a boarding school house. The logo was very intricate and stunningly engraved. The first one they did they were unhappy with themselves and knew they could do better!!! Wow, the second one which was gifted just was stunning. The Housemistress was so grateful for the beautiful plaque that will remind her of the 2024 Leavers. Massive 2 thumbs up!!!
Liza

Henry Orton
The whole team at Somerville Stone have exceeded my every expectation. They are professional whilst friendly, highly skilled whilst offering competitive prices. The work carried out on my behalf has been of the upmost quality. I cannot thank or recommend Darren and his team enough.
Annie Lloyd
I cannot recommend Somerville enough; Charley and Darren went above and beyond my expectations.
Charley put my mind at rest from my very first conversation. Charley professionalism was outstanding
Darren, my words of gratitude will never be enough, in a very difficult situation Darren advised me every step of the way, even down to doing a mock-up of the stone. Making a vase and helping me choose the engraving for the edging. Nothing was too much trouble. Darren thank you again for doing the placement of my husband stone in time for Christmas so my family from Australia were able to see it.
