HUMPHRIES Stonemasons has been based in Hungerford for more than 40 years and over that time it has earned an enviable reputation for distinctive, high-quality stonework.

A small, family-run, independent company, it prides itself on a personal and friendly approach to any project and welcomes people to visit the refitted showroom at 4-5 Downview, Park Street, to discuss their requirements and to get a feel for the materials worked with.

Hand-crafted stone exudes a timeless quality that mass-produced, machined stone simply cannot match, and in the skilled hands of master mason Barry Humphries and his team a piece of stone is painstakingly honed into a unique masterpiece that will enhance any home.

When it comes to fireplaces and hearths, whether it is a grand baronial style, a simple minimalist design, something suitable for a small flat, or an ultra-modern shape in which you are more likely to insert a television than an open fire, Humphries can produce it for you.

All of its fireplaces are individually made and hand-carved from natural stone and your fire surround will be unique to you. Nobody will have a fireplace quite like yours.

Humphries is a stockist of Jetmaster, Stuv, Magiglo and Hunter gas fires and wood-burning stoves.

The beauty and practical characteristics of a solid granite worktop will add an individual touch of quality and style to any kitchen.

Its distinctive and mirror-like finish will also provide a durable and exceptionally heatproof surface.

Your bathroom is the one place in the house where you pamper yourself, so why not make it even more inviting?

From flooring, wall tiles, basins, worktops and vanity units, through to shower trays and full wet-rooms of any size, let your imagination go wild and create a truly unique room.

Beautiful, practical and hardwearing, Humphries’ range of stone is ideal for many interior and exterior uses.

Limestone, slate, marble, granite, basalt and sandstone are available in a range of beautiful natural colours and provide stunning good looks and hardwearing qualities that add value to any home.

Skilled craftsmen can work with any stone and provide any finish to meet your particular requirements.

The company offers an extensive advice service for architects and specifiers on the use of natural stone in buildings. If you are involved in a new build or a restoration project, staff can help you turn a good building into a great building.

Humphries Stonemasons can provide a complete, hassle-free project management service, which includes management of all trade services such as plumbers, electricians, plasterers, carpenters and gas fitters.

The beauty and practicality of natural stone shines through, looks elegant year after year and will add value and distinction to your home.
