Based in the heart of the Dorset countryside near the world famous village of Cerne Abbas, St Catherines Farm has been working with flint since the 1980’s supplying stone to the building and construction industry and started by producing knapped walling flint for traditional style houses using hand picked flint from our very own fields here at St Catherines Farm.
With the arrival of flint blocks in the 1990’s we naturally developed our own special range of high quality blocks to meet the growing demand for natural products. We began forming blocks inset with our local stone and soon after St Catherines Flint Products Ltd was established. With increased demand we now acquire many different types of flint and stone from all over the UK.
All our flint and stone arrives at our factory unprepared in its raw natural state. The stone is mechanically cut down and dressed by our dedicated team of knappers. The
stone is then handcrafted into block form by our crew of experienced block-makers. The fully formed blocks can then be used without a need for a backing wall, ensuring a rapid professional finish
whilst maintaining a clean cavity. We conduct regular laboratory based crush tests on our concrete to ensure that it maintains a consistent N2 strength.
