Slate Flooring
Our natural slate flooring combines durability with timeless elegance. Sourced from premium Brazilian quarries, each tile undergoes rigorous quality checks before reaching our North Devon warehouse. Available in various finishes including honed, textured, and aged options, our flooring solutions suit both contemporary and traditional settings. The material's natural cleft surface provides unique patterns for distinctive interior and exterior designs.
Worktops
Custom-manufactured slate worktops offer exceptional durability and aesthetic appeal. Our fabrication team shapes 3cm-thick slabs with precision edge profiling options including bullnose, pencil, and aged finishes. Each countertop receives a protective sealant treatment to enhance stain resistance while maintaining natural stone characteristics. Bespoke templates accommodate sinks, cookers, and custom cutouts for seamless kitchen and bathroom installations.
Shower Trays
Pre-formed slate shower trays combine practicality with luxury aesthetics. Available in standard and custom dimensions, these waterproof bases feature subtle surface texturing for slip resistance. The natural stone construction resists moisture damage while complementing both modern and rustic bathroom designs. Each tray includes appropriate drainage provisions and receives factory edge profiling for immediate installation.
Paving Slabs
Outdoor paving solutions utilise thick, frost-resistant slate slabs for patios, pathways, and garden features. Available in natural cleft or sawn edge finishes, these durable stones withstand UK weather conditions while developing attractive patinas over time. Our range includes both regular and irregular shapes to create formal or rustic exterior spaces with consistent colour matching across batches.
Fireplace Hearths
Custom-cut slate hearths provide heat-resistant focal points for traditional and modern fireplaces. Available in 2cm or 3cm thicknesses, these pieces feature polished edges and fire-rated sealants. The material's natural thermal properties make it ideal for wood-burning and gas fireplace applications. Each hearth receives precise cutouts for fireboxes and hearth rugs while maintaining dimensional accuracy.

Report
The small piece of slate that we ordered took weeks longer than the 2 weeks we were told it would and communication was not good. We were told that the price we paid would include a bag of adhesive but on collection were told it was "not on the invoice " so we had to pay extra. All in all not good customer service.

5 years ago we had a vision of what our new kitchen should look like. I sent some drawings to Ardosia for a number of 40mm worktops, upstands and splashback. They worked with us throughout the process to ensure we got what we wanted, and the quality of what we received was simply flawless, millimetre perfect on dimensions and mated together perfectly. Once we were happy with the worktops we also ordered the floor tiles, which are just amazing in winter with the under-floor heating (the cat agrees). It looks as good today as it did when we built it. Can't recommend Ardosia highly enough. We did

The customer service with Ardosia Slate Company was very professional, totally understood our needs, even when we wern't sure, no pressure, just a first class service. Steve the fitter of the slate was very professional, and did a first class job. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, and recommend them.

We had been looking for slate to use for windowsills in a new extension. Checked many places on line but best prices and most helpful led us to Ardosia. Only contact was by telephone but so helpful, kept us up… to date with delivery. Quality of slate is superb and everyone (even the builders) have remarked on it. Delivery company used is also excellent! Definitely recommend

Fantastic service from all at Ardosia. Collected just 4 floor tiles for a small project & the staff couldn't have been more helpful both on the phone (Natalie!) & in person. Not a big sale for them but they went backwards & forwards with different tiles until I was happy with the match. Thank you everyone - would not hesitate to recommend you!
