National chains, online templating services, kitchen showrooms that outsource the stone work. What you will find harder to locate is a team that handles everything in house, from sourcing slabs through to the day your worktops go in.
We are Traditional Masonry, based in North Shields, a short drive from Newcastle on the A1058. We have been supplying and installing stone worktops across the city since 2004. Granite, quartz, marble and ceramic, all fabricated in our own workshop and fitted by our own team. No national call centre. No subcontractors. No day-one strangers turning up to fit your kitchen.
This guide covers every material we work with, the differences that matter for Newcastle homeowners and why the process from first enquiry to fitted worktops typically takes 7 to 10 working days.
We work with four materials every week. Here is an honest summary of each, based on two decades of fitting them across Newcastle kitchens and bathrooms.
Natural stone quarried in slabs. Outstanding heat tolerance, exceptional scratch resistance and a unique character in every piece. No two granite worktops are the same. Best for keen cooks and those who want something genuinely one of a kind.
Engineered stone with a non porous surface that never needs sealing. Huge colour and pattern range, consistent finish and very low maintenance. The material most Newcastle homeowners choose. Excellent for families with busy kitchens.
Natural stone with timeless veining and depth that no engineered surface fully replicates. Softer than granite and requires care, but beautiful in traditional kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms across Newcastle and the wider region.
Heat proof, scratch proof, stain resistant and maintenance free. The most technically capable surface in the category and the only worktop we recommend for outdoor kitchens in the North East climate. Available in large format slabs for a seamless look.
Stone worktops fitted in Newcastle by a local team means one point of contact, one workshop and fitters who know what they are doing before they arrive at your door.
Stone worktops are not an online purchase. The quality of the result depends entirely on the quality of the template, the accuracy of the fabrication and the care taken on installation day. All three happen in our North Shields workshop or in your home. Nothing is passed on.
We regularly install stone worktops across all Newcastle postcodes and the wider region. These are areas we serve on a weekly basis.

We supply and install granite, quartz, marble and ceramic stone worktops across Newcastle. All four materials are available from our North Shields showroom, where you can compare full-size slabs before making a decision. We fabricate and fit everything with our own team.
For a busy family kitchen, quartz or granite are the most practical choices. Quartz is non porous and never needs sealing, making it the lowest maintenance option. Granite handles direct heat better and offers natural character that cannot be replicated. Both are outstanding for family use.
We install stone worktops across the full North East region. Beyond Newcastle, we regularly fit in Northumberland, County Durham, Gateshead and across North Tyneside. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, call us and we will confirm.
