"Anna the package has arrived! Thank you so much, we love them. And what lovely packaging"!! - Sophie Williams, Interior Design, Atlis Architecture, Pyrmont
Stone Quality
“Stone looks absolutely amazing, nicest packed stone I have ever seen. Very professional, very, very happy. Just want to give you guys a big wrap for what you did. It's always good to work with people who actually care about what they're doing.” - Geoff Dalgliesh, Asgard Homes, Hunters Hill 26/7/11

Bellstone Service
"Hello Anna, thank you so much for the slate samples, they arrived & looked so professional as i handed them on to our client. They are presently making decisions & I will keep you posted on the outcome. Many thanks for your fast & efficient service" - Kim Lyon, Greg Lyon Constructions 6/9/11
"So very happy with your exceptional helpfulness with the selection of our stone tiles, organising the tiler & delivery for us" - Linda Maike, Rozelle
"The samples you sent were exactly what I wanted & more - everything arrived well packed & undamaged. One of the samples is to be mounted onto a "mood board" for a future client’s approval... so it was exactly what was required. Thank you both again, Bellstone really gives great service - possibly because you "women" are at the public forefront of the company... seem to get the "details" right somehow" - Karen Steingrimsson, Coloured Pear Colour Design, North Bondi
"Welsh slate is the Rolls Royce of roofing with an unmatched guarantee. Bellstone has been supplying us with Welsh slate since 1991 - the company is incredibly friendly and very reliable" - Thomas Nielsen, HG Nielsen & Co. Slate Roofing Specialists
Sandstone Tiles & Cladding
“Our pool and landscaping is now nearly complete and we couldn't be happier. The sandstone tiles and cladding that we purchased from you look great.
Thank you so much for being so helpful and patient.
The time that you spent with Karen and myself, helping us to chose the most suitable tiles and cladding for us, the expert advice and honest suggestions were greatly appreciated.
Thank you also for going out of your way to arrange delivery, when and where we required the tiles - even though it must have been a nuisance for you”.
All the best for Christmas and the New Year - Naldo Pacchini, Wetherill Park 29/12/09
Matching Slate
"This is wonderful!! I didn’t have to decide if this slate matched my floor, as you recognized it straight away. You did all the work for me suggesting what I could use in some of the areas I wanting to improve. I can’t believe how helpful you all have been" Karen Prentice, Berrilee 12/8/11
“I just want to say thank you and let you know how delighted we are with the slate that we ordered from India. The tiler finished laying the last of the slate last week and it looks FANTASTIC!!
The match is very, very good and the seam where the old slate meets the new slate is almost indistinguishable. Thank you Dianne! It would not have been possible without your expertise and enthusiasm to get it right” - Rachel D'Arcy 23/9/2010
"I really appreciate your help in this matter [identifying a slate] and am so grateful for your extensive knowledge and willingness to source the right slate for us" - Rachael DÁrcy, Campbelltown.
Sealing Sandstone
“Thank you for your time explaining all about sealing the sandstone I bought and please make sure you thank Anna for her time yesterday as it is really nice to find people who know all about the products they sell” - Ausbuild Constructions Pty Ltd
Slate & Sealant
“Everyone who came to our house commented on how beautiful our slate tiles [Pink Autumn] were laid on our living room & kitchen floors and we honestly think these slate tiles help sell our house recently. We decided to seal with a penetrating sealer [Sealer’s Choice Gold] because we preferred the natural look and have been more than happy with protection this sealer gave our floor” - Mr & Mrs Warneford, Berry, NSW January, 2011
Interstate
"Hi Anna, I'm absolutely thrilled with the paving! It has really transformed our house and garden. I've also had new windows put in and awaiting a new roof in January, so once that is all finished I'll take some pics of the paving [Sofala French pattern] and send them through to you. Everyone who sees it thinks it looks fantastic!" - Jane, Victoria 7/11/11
“Thank you very much Dianne. I really appreciate your help and prompt replies”.
Best regards - Paula, Perth WA

Availability of Stock
“Gee it’s nice to come and select something and find that it is actually in stock in your warehouse and that I can have delivery within 3-4 days.Everywhere you go these days most shops tell you there is a wait for goods to arrive from overseas and that the wait could be anything from 8 – 12 weeks.” Arnold Devos, Pagewood, 29/11/2011
Matching Slate
Just a quick thank you to Anna and Dianne for taking the trouble to find who had the light Indian rajah slate tiles in stock today. The drive out to Kings Park was worthwhile as they had the perfect match – thanks very much as we thought we would have to make do with the darker Indian rajah – thanks for your honesty in sending us elsewhere - Mark and Roslyn McKinley 23/12/10
"Hi Dianne, you have been wonderful. Tell your boss you are worth more money. I really appreciate your follow up with my enquiry" - Paula Gillan, 23/12/10

Pavers
"Just a short note to thank you for all your help over the past few months. The pavers arrived this morning and they have exceeded my expectations in look and quality" - John Lee, Glebe 16/7/2009
Coogee Sandstone Cladding
“Thank you Anna for getting back to me. The sample arrived in excellent time. The stone itself I think is beautiful. I have been doing a bit of research into maintenance and longevity of the stone when used as a facade and have learned that it does need regular maintenance to keep it looking good. There is a wall near where we live, made of exactly the sandstone I was after and it is in a pretty sorry state.
One of the key elements I require in the wall cladding, is very little, to no maintenance needed and as a result of this, I've finally decided against using sandstone. I might add, the price was great and when new, the effect is stunning.
Thank you for the sample and your excellent service. In future, if I'm able to recommend you to others, I will certainly do so”.
Regards,
Amanda Lovell, Mitcham, VIC 25/3/11
Quartzite
"Thanks Anna, the samples of quartzite arrived safely and it is very nice stone. However, we have a lot of drilling to do into the stone to install LED lights along the pathways and the quartzite was too hard to drill so we have used the sandstone" - Steve Harnwell, 25/3/11
