Slate Worktops
Our bespoke slate worktops combine natural beauty with exceptional durability for kitchen and bathroom applications. Each piece is precision-cut from premium Welsh slate to meet exact specifications. The material's inherent density and heat resistance make it ideal for high-traffic areas while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.

I bought a small, T-shaped slate hearth from Berwyn Slate. It was delivered on time, it was very reasonably priced, the measurements were precise and the slate itself is absolutely stunning, full of character and texture. Fantastic craftsmanship with full supply chin transparency. An excellent company selling top-class products.

What a wonderful product, I chose to collect and really glad I did. Friendly service from the guys at the yard, what a beautiful area it is set in and it made a lovely day out. Definitely worth paying the little extra for the Welsh slate. 10/10 Berwyn.

Very good customer experience, we received our hearth very quickly and were updated along the way. The slate is a beautiful blue black shade and will look great with our new woodburner once installed. Excellent prices for quality welsh slate.
