Steve Roche

Traditional hand skills in the cutting and carving of stone are core to the services I offer my clients. This is teamed with an understanding of historic building construction techniques and a passion for architecture and design. 

I work closely with my clients to create works in stone that are fitting and appropriate for the project. I have experience working for churches, Sheffield Cathedral, theatres, town halls, hotels, major house builders and private households. 

Letter Carving

Setting an inscription out by hand and traditional V-cut lettering is the core of the bespoke service I offer my clients. 
I cut inscriptions into a range of different native stones in many different styles; from formal Roman capitals to flourished letters. 

Standing Stones make an interesting focal point in any setting they are placed, especially when they bear a message. House numbers, cottage names and commemorative date stones can be securely fastened to walls and entrance ways. 

Headstones and Memorials

Commissioning a piece of work is very straightforward. My work is always undertaken to a high level of finish and with the highest regard to the historic or personal significance it may have. 

Installing a headstone is an important part of the process. I work to the National Association of Memorial Masons (NAMM) code of practice.
