a little about
For over fifty years Bingley Stone has crafted bespoke stone masonry and stone paving from Yorkshire’s finest quarries.
Our story – since1968
Bingley Stone’s story began with David Harney who, in the 1960s, after time in the Navy and a brief stint as a firefighter, founded a small roofing and general building business in Bingley, West Yorkshire. Initially named Bingley Roofing, the company quickly grew and David expanded into the buying and selling of roofing and building materials. By the 1970s and into the 1980s, as many of Yorkshire’s old mills faced demolition, reclaimed stone merchanting became the heart of the business. David’s keen eye for quality stone transformed Bingley Roofing into a trusted name, later rebranded as Bingley Roofing and Stone Centre to reflect its expanding focus on Yorkshire stone.
In 1988, David’s son, Chris Harney, joined the family business, bringing a bold vision for its future. Recognising the inevitable decline in the reclamation trade as apartment living started to became more popular meaning mills were more often being converted rather than demolished. Chris steered the stone division towards newly quarried Yorkshire stone and stone masonry services. Specialising in landscaping and bespoke stone masonry. This shift marked the formal separation of the company’s interests, with Bingley Stone emerging as a distinct division, focussing on the quarrying, manufacturing and stonemasonry or Yorkshires great natural resource. Bingley Roofing continues operate locally covering all types of roofing services and remains in the family also.
Under Chris’ leadership, Bingley Stone has continued to invest in state-of-the-art stone cutting facilities, forged great relationships with many Yorkshire quarries and developed a strong, skilled workforce with a passion and immense pride for our Yorkshire roots and our fine Yorkshire stone products.
Today, Bingley Stone continues to grow, rooted in its Yorkshire heritage and driven by a commitment to quality and innovation. With a focus on providing sustainable building solutions through natural stone. The company delivers timeless stone paving and bespoke solutions for gardens, estates, and public spaces across the UK. The Harney family’s legacy lives on, blending tradition with modern practices and technology to shape landscapes and buildings across the nation that will endure many lifetimes.
