What Bradstone does

Bradstone is a UK-based hard landscaping supplier, trading as a brand of Holcim UK Limited, that manufactures and distributes porcelain, concrete, natural stone, and ECO paving products for residential and commercial customers. The company operates two principal segments: a Homeowner division serving garden, driveway, and landscaping feature projects, and a Commercial division (expanded in 2025 with the Charcon portfolio) supplying concrete flag paving, kerbs, active travel infrastructure, and sustainable urban drainage (SuDS) solutions to architects, specifiers, and developers. Distribution is multi-channel, combining direct e-commerce (with paving visualiser and free sample ordering), a nationwide stockist network of builders merchants and retailers (Jewson, B&Q, Huws Gray and independents), and the Bradstone Assured vetted installer programme that pairs a 10-year product guarantee with a 5-year installation guarantee.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time unit-based sales of paving materials, supplemented by professional services revenue through the Bradstone Assured installer scheme (annual installer membership) and quote-based commercial specification work. Production is anchored at the Bardon Hill site in Coalville, Leicestershire, where vertical integration into aggregates provides a structural input-cost advantage within the Holcim group. Pricing is per unit or per square metre, with free delivery on orders above £200 and a wide price band spanning budget concrete options under £10 through to premium porcelain offerings above £60 per unit. Key differentiators include 70 years of UK brand heritage, ECO paving with 20%+ reduced carbon footprint, British Standards compliance on commercial products, and ETI-aligned ethical sourcing.
