Established in 1953, Chilstone have been handcrafting the finest quality garden ornaments and architectural stone for over seventy years. We are a distinguished heritage brand featured in some of the most prestigious gardens across the UK and the world, including Kensington Palace Gardens, Kew Gardens and Hever Castle.

Our wide range of garden ornaments include planters, urns, fountains, balustrades and more.

Fine Cast Stone Garden Ornaments

We handcraft fine cast stone using traditional techniques to produce a wide range of classical and contemporary garden ornaments. Many of our products can be adapted, or made bespoke on request, including sundials, urns, fountains, statues and benches.

Chilstone garden ornaments create beautiful features to enhance the appearance and design of gardens of all sizes, whether you have a vast historic estate, country garden or a petite city courtyard.

Our cast stone is a versatile material. It is available in a range of colours and it can be painted. Our products naturally develop a rich patina over time like natural stone.

Many of our items, can be engraved to create lasting gifts for important milestones, birthdays and anniversaries.

We have seven decades of experience working with homeowners, landscapers and renowned RHS Chelsea Flower Show designers, providing inspiration and bringing their ideas to life.

Hard Landscaping

Chilstone make a wide range of stonework suitable for hard landscaping. Our bestselling balustrade designs were inspired by the traditional stonework at the Embankment in London as part of the original Waterloo Bridge along with the famous sixteenth century Golden Staircase at Hever Castle, commissioned by Thomas Boleyn.

We can also produce bespoke balustrading to repair and restore existing stonework with a colour matching service. We handcraft steps, coping stones, staddle stones, padstones and gate pier capitals to create a smart finish for your hard landscaping designs.

Architectural Stone and Restorations

Chilstone architectural stone is perfect for a range of new build properties, extensions and porticos. Over the past seven decades we have helped to create homes from period restorations, to new builds made to blend sympathetically with the surrounding neighbourhood, to modern homes with standout design features. Our skilled team has designed stonework for diverse building projects from Victorian style door arches, to Georgian window surrounds and cills to chic modern porticos.

Over the years, we have had the pleasure of working with architects, builders, historical estates, homeowners, property developers, landscapers and also major screen productions, such as Netflix’s The Crown and Disney’s Artemis Fowl.

Our vast and varied experience has given us the skills to provide a wide array of made-to-order stonework. Please get in touch to discuss your projects.

Based in the South Midlands, Watling Reclamation is a renowned supplier of reclaimed building materials, passionately committed to sustainability within construction, and preserving the architectural heritage of the United Kingdom. Rooted in a profound respect for history and the environment, the company is built on the belief that sustainability and unique garden or building projects aren’t mutually exclusive. Indeed, they are complimentary activities, and reclaimed materials should be the default position for many projects. From small personal projects to small and medium scale housing developments, reclaimed materials can often bring history and aesthetics to fulfil requirements more completely than new products.

History

Founded in 2012 by Neill and Julie Taylor, Watling Reclamation began as a modest operation, selling surplus reclaimed materials from their development of an old Northamptonshire dairy farm into Pury Hill Business Park. Pury Hill is a unique, rural business park comprising over 50 commercial offices, and notable for its wide use of reclaimed building materials. Recognising the intrinsic value of these materials, the company sought to preserve and repurpose them rather than allow them to be discarded or crushed to rubble. Over the years, Watling Reclamation has grown from a small, local initiative into a respected name in the reclamation industry.

Architectural Materials

A large proportion of its extensive inventory focuses on architectural and landscaping materials such as reclaimed bricks, roofing tiles, building stone, and walling items such as pier caps and copings. Indeed, our collection of Staffordshire Blue wall copings is one of the largest in the country and the company strives to maintain its wide variety. 

Because building restoration and refurbishment can have restrictions on materials, Watling Reclamation works hard to carry as wide a selection of reclaimed materials as possible, with bricks a particular priority. In some instances, it’s not always possible to find an exact match, so we also carry new, replica bricks, can cut some stone items to suit specific projects, or will try to source items required. 

The four acre site caters to both individual homeowners and small to medium-scale developers alike. Watling Reclamation works with and regularly supplies stately homes, estate managers, restoration and development companies.

Gardens & Landscapes

With a wide customer base, from keen enthusiasts to such luminaries as Gold Medal winning, Chelsea Flower Show designer Tom Stuart-Smith, it’s no surprise to see that Watling Reclamation’s garden focus is on distinctive individual pieces. Reclaimed stone troughs, statuary and millstones sit alongside the UK’s largest contemporary terracotta planters and both Corten Steel and zinc focal points. In particular, stone troughs are a consistently robust segment of the business, with regular sourcing trips across the UK and Europe to keep pace with demand. We have our own suppliers of Italian terracotta planters, capable of producing pots large enough for a sizeable tree! 

Water is a common theme among the larger garden features stocked at the site. Stone fountains and troughs, hand carved stone apple presses and galvanised water tanks are in constant demand from garden designers, homeowners and even film production companies. Their projects range from individual homes to corporate sites and intriguing film sets!

When it comes to landscaping, a wide selection of reclaimed and new paving is always available, with a particular focus on reclaimed Yorkstone and new Limestone from our own suppliers in Rajasthan, India. Reclaimed Granite cobbles, Staffordshire Blue stable and diamond pavers are staples in this category and constantly being replenished.

Ethics and Values

The company takes its name from Watling Street, an ancient Roman road that runs from Dover to Shrewsbury and on which the reclamation yard is situated. This historical reference underscores Watling Reclamation's dedication to bridging the past and the present, enabling the survival of traditional building materials while embracing modern sustainability principles.

The company operates under a clear set of ethical principles that prioritise environmental stewardship, historical preservation, and community engagement. Central to Watling Reclamation's ethos is the commitment to reducing waste and promoting resource efficiency. Salvaging and reusing building materials, reduces the demand for new resources, minimising the environmental impact of relevant construction projects. So each brick, timber beam, or roofing slate the company can save represents a reduction in landfill and a step toward a circular economy.

Likewise, by recovering historical architectural elements, the company ensures this heritage is enjoyed by future generations. This approach preserves antique materials and provides contemporary builders with authentic materials that can’t easily be replicated by modern manufacturing techniques.

With this knowledge and extensive stockholding, Watling Reclamation works closely with local tradesmen to support the preservation of historical structures and promote sustainable building practices. The company also works with architects, builders, and designers to advise on the benefits and use of reclaimed materials within their specific projects.

The construction industry is one of the largest contributors to global waste and carbon emissions, and the company’s work addresses these challenges head-on. By salvaging materials that would otherwise be discarded, Watling Reclamation helps conserve natural resources and reduce the energy required to produce new building components. Moreover, the company’s process of sorting and grading reclaimed materials helps prepare them for reuse, extending their lifecycle and maximising their value.

Specialists in Heritage Homes 

HollandGreen's design process encompasses a delicate balance - preserving the rich heritage, inherent uniqueness and structural integrity of historic homes, whilst integrating thoughtful and unobtrusive modern functionality. 

They are adept at introducing new architectural design to create an exciting contrast clearly defining old and new, which does not detract from the original building but rather creates its next chapter and future legacy. They look to create a natural flow of spaces – introducing more open family living, creating more of a connection to the garden, and bringing more light into historically dark rooms.

HollandGreen's team advocate the reuse of original materials whenever feasible, minimising waste, preserving historical authenticity, and sourcing durable and sustainable elements so their schemes are high quality, maintainable, and timeless in design. They carry out detailed research into the history of each property, liaising with heritage consultants, archaeologists, and local planning teams, and frequently visiting properties with clients before they have purchased to assess what could be possible from a design, planning and budgetary perspective. 

The HollandGreen Approach

Holistic Design: Their Architects, Interior Designers and Landscape Designers collaborate in the same Studio, producing beautifully integrated designs where everything works together and is carefully considered from the outset, resulting in exceptional spaces.

Client Experience: Encouraging design exploration within a supportive and friendly environment, they collaborate with their clients to create imaginative and individual concepts as part of a rewarding design journey.

Technical Delivery: They stand apart in technical design, transforming ambitious concepts and design visions into meticulously crafted construction packages for contractors, ensuring projects run smoothly, stay within budget, and are executed with the utmost attention to detail.

In-House Project Management: Their specialist Project Managers coordinate all aspects of each project, from the design stages through to build and installation, liaising with external consultants and contractors to ensure costs are closely managed, and any delays or disruptions which can arise on site are resolved quickly.

Responsible Design 

HollandGreen are committed to making a positive contribution to carbon capture and storage within the residential property sector. They are part of the RIBA 2030 Sustainable Outcomes initiative, delivering projects that reduce energy consumption and are ‘zero carbon’ and sharing their research with industry partners. They support the Charity Woodland Heritage campaigning for the creation and management of productive UK woodlands, delivering carbon sequestration and research into woodland health and biodiversity.

Little Black Book

HollandGreen work with the best in the industry to make sure their clients’ projects are delivered successfully, on time and to budget, from surveyors, structural engineers, planning consultants to smart home and security providers, archaeologists, arboriculturists and ecologists, to name a few.

Ethos

Our passion is to create gardens and landscapes that are seductive and absorbing in their visual beauty, harmonious, ever-changing, and with a slowly unfolding story. We create places to explore, inhabit and to enjoy.

We strive to produce designs for our clients based on a thorough understanding of their requirements, the site and the needs and lifestyle of those who will inhabit the space. Our belief is that no single design fits all, that designers must be adaptable, and that design style cannot be superimposed: good design coming only from a full and successful dialogue between client, designer and landscape.

We create landscapes that appear restrained and uncluttered but which reward exploration by gradually revealing their layers of complexity. Often crisply geometric, and with a deceptive simplicity of design and construction detail, they entice you through a progression of richly planted spaces, each with its own mood and character.

We pride ourselves in the personable way we run and manage our projects from concept through to completion. Ours is the only phone number our clients require for all landscaping needs.

CENA Outdoor is a British company designing and manufacturing bespoke, high-end outdoor kitchens and bars from its base in the peaceful Leicestershire countryside. CENA was founded in 2015 and has since worked with customers the length and breadth of the UK — CENA have recently completed outdoor kitchens for clients all over the UK in Scotland, England and Wales.

The company’s outdoor kitchens have been installed in rural, city and suburban homes from the lakeside garden of a large country home to the rooftop terrace of a contemporary villa and the petite garden of a Fulham townhouse.

The evergreen popularity of outdoor kitchens

The demand for an upscaled outdoor living experience has grown year-on-year for the past 7 years, with many British homeowners looking to create a haven for relaxing and socialising in their garden. An outdoor kitchen is a hugely popular choice, enabling people to expand their cooking and entertaining space into the garden and access a different range of cooking appliances such as kamado-style grills, sear plates, rotisserie grills and wood-fired ovens.

Other CENA customers are less fussed about creating alfresco culinary masterpieces and more concerned with happiness, focusing on designing a space to gather their favourite people and giving them easy access to a gas grill, fridge loaded with cold drinks and some sociable bar seating. 

Creating bespoke outdoor kitchens 

CENA works directly with clients who seek a beautiful, British-made outdoor kitchen for their garden, guiding them through the process of choosing the location and layout before focusing on materials and appliances. Other customers already have a location in mind thanks to an existing garden redesign and a very clear idea of the end result they are after, so then it’s the CENA designers’ jobs to bring that vision to life. The company’s approach is totally bespoke, and its customers can select from the widest range of cladding and worktop materials, appliances and design features available in the UK. 

CENA also partners with a range of businesses, including landscape designers, architects, property developers and garden designers, enabling them to add outdoor kitchens to their projects. Again, the CENA approach is flexible, with some projects already fixed in terms of aesthetics and designs, and in other cases the partner business looks to CENA to design an outdoor kitchen in keeping with the style of the overall project. 

Taking the next step towards your dream outdoor kitchen

The CENA promise to its customers is to always offer: 

• Impartial advice - if our kitchens aren't the right fit for you, their team will help you work out what you need, and signpost you to an alternative supplier.
• Unparalleled choice – CENA has the widest range of cladding and worktop materials, appliances and design features of any outdoor kitchen designer in the UK. 
• Complimentary consultation – anyone can book in for a chat with a CENA designer to see how the company can help, with absolutely no obligation to take it any further. 

The CENA team is passionate about outdoor kitchens and truly enjoys sharing expertise and ideas with customers. To learn more about CENA Outdoor and be inspired by the company’s past outdoor kitchen projects, please visit the website.

None of our designs are ever the same or follow any particular fashion: all our projects are painstakingly crafted to suit the client, the place and the environment.

Designing landscapes is a long term process and we hope that our clients travel this journey with us from the first discussions to long past the initial completion of the project. Often we return, time and time again, to help clients develop their gardens and estates over many years – it is that long term trust and relationship that we seek, where all concerned flourish together.

Ethos

We are passionate about creating gardens that are not only superbly designed — often we design down to a 5mm paving joint — but also genuinely are about the places and people for whom we design. In an era of global warming, sustainable design and planting for the future are important to us as is bringing life back to soils and the fauna and flora of a site but we do this whilst retaining a strong sense of design and underlaying purpose for each design decision. Our work is sustainable and environmentally friendly but above all beautiful whether in the simplicity of a contemporary design or the romanticism of an English country house garden.

Emma has been a practising landscape architect for over 30 years working all over the world whilst Libby is both an RHS judge, RHS Herbaceous Plant Committee member and RHS Plant Trial member and a passionate plants-woman as well as landscape designer who gardens both in Somerset and in Greece and brings that wealth of knowledge to all the planting schemes for the practice.

Together they bring a wealth of experience to every project and head up a team of exciting young designers from their office in central London.

The practice prides itself on the quality of its designs and plantsmanship, whether contemporary or classical and on the fact that in their short seven years of being an independent practice, they have gained a reputation for not only being in the top 50 garden designers in the county according to House and Garden Magazine but also one of County Life’s top 100 place makers.

We have no specialisation and no project is too large or too small — all we want is to be excited by the project and be able to bring something special to the site.

Currently we are working on landscapes as diverse as a country estate in Somerset to a cutting edge contemporary house in Devon to a town house in Primrose Hill to a newly built house near Guildford along with projects all over the UK, in Jersey, Greece and Russia.

Libby also opens her garden at Bactombe House in Somerset for the National Garden Society and is custodian of Somerset wildlife meadows.

Classic Styling - Modern Performance

Our comprehensive experience of working with period properties has given us an insight into the dilemma that often arises between keeping the traditional style of the building, versus the significant benefits to both the owners and the environment, of double glazing.

Our windows and doors incorporate the benefits of both. Our double-glazed casement windows can replace existing single glazed units, maintaining the look of the property whilst greatly improving the security and insulation and often enhancing it with the exceptional quality of the new joinery.

With more than 3,000 million-pound-plus country houses selling in the countryside in the past year, and demand rising by 20%, according to agents Knight Frank, our love of traditional British country properties is still going strong. But now, a new breed of modern country house is emerging for buyers keen on the bucolic without the inconvenience of draughty drawing rooms and one loo for every 10 bedrooms. Five or six years ago, a number of brand-new rural dwellings were 'pretty awful prefabricated boxes', according to George Hyde, a partner in Knight Frank's country department, 'but one-off, classically-styled bespoke homes and sensitively executed conversions are becoming the norm today'. The reason for the shift is that owners no longer have to support a whole community of servants at the back end of large houses. 'People have been replaced by machines, from the dishwasher and cappuccino-maker to the ride-on mower and leaf blower, turning domestic quarters into practical living spaces,' points out Richard Gaynor from Savills' country division. The kitchen, now very much the heart of the home, is not tucked away any longer, and huge American-style fridge-freezers and fridge larders are replacing pantries, larders and sculleries. 'Certainly, the dining and drawing rooms and hall would remain, but with husbands and wives working from home, outbuildings are being converted into offices and there is more demand for his-and-hers bathrooms and dressing rooms,' says Dawn Carritt from Jackson-Stops & Staff. 'But one of the downsides for creating an en suite in every bedroom, a common practice these days, is the knock-on effect of munching up rooms either side.' A laudable example of the new country house is Derwent Lodge, a 4,000sq ft seven-bedroom house overlooking Dartmouth Harbour in Devon, with bespoke cabinetry, limestone and hardwood flooring, wireless audio systems and lighting controls, plasma high-definition televisions, air-conditioning and under-floor heating. Sadly, the 140-year-old house lost most of its period features over the years all that remains is one fireplace and some plasterwork in the drawing room so developer Rigby & Rigby decided to install all the latest conveniences to fashion a good, modern family home. 'We have tried to make all the rooms useable with a purpose behind them,' explains Steve Rigby from Rigby & Rigby, currently selling the house for £2.7 million through Savills Exeter (01392 455755) or Marchand Petit Dartmouth (01803 839190). 'For instance, there is a large kitchen/dining room that seats 12 who really uses a dedicated separate dining room these days? and games rooms for both adults and children.' Mr Rigby was told that the country-house market dictates the necessity of having a first-floor drawing room, but he is convinced that most buyers would prefer to relax in a laidback sitting room rather than suffering in a stuffy formal space redolent of a visit to their maiden aunt's house. Mr Gaynor agrees that libraries are less popular than cinema rooms 'with proper slots in chairs for popcorn and drinks', and he is surprised that some people even keep up the pretence of needing a dining room. 'People are being more honest about indulging themselves, so we are seeing more indoor pools and toys for boys creeping in.' Derwent Lodge's greatest excess is probably the bubbling hot tub in the tiered harbour-facing garden. Location is key, however, with new country homes. There is nothing worse than a new architectural gem plonked on the edge of a decaying housing estate. 'They have a modern core, rather like Prince Charles' Poundbury, but what we see fools us into thinking the whole place is period,' believes Miss Carritt.
