Our Story.
Granite Le Pelley are very proud to have showrooms at both their locations in Guernsey and Jersey. The in-house technical showrooms, based at Garenne House in Guernsey and and the new premises at First Tower in Jersey, which has a large office, 200m2 stone exhibition, warehouse and car park, offers clients the opportunity to feel and touch the stones they are looking at for projects.
We have developed particular expertise in sourcing new and existing stones with traditional finishes and in developing finishes to achieve the client’s bespoke requirements. We are continually seeking new suppliers and products to satisfy our client’s needs.
We also have a team of specialists that can help with cleaning, repairing and maintaining natural stone.
