Armstrongs Group

Operating from 5 quarries across the North West and Cumbria, Armstrongs is a reliable supplier of all forms of stone material from rock armor or cut dimension stone down to aggregate, sand or dust. Our quarries produce attractive shades of sandstone, with the exception of Shap in Cumbria which is the home of the famous Shap pink granite, all with good reserves to ensure continuity of supply.

Our team comes from a variety of backgrounds, offering differing skills and expertise that blend together to present great solutions and service. We believe that people deal with people they like, and we will always go out of our way to ensure that you come back to us time after time. We live in the communities that we serve and take great pride in helping to develop both the infrastructure and amenities within those areas.

Our transport fleet has grown immensely over recent years, and continual investment by the Armstrong Group ensures we maintain maximum efficiency and reliability, whilst also meeting our environmental commitments. Our fleet of Wagons consist wholly of Scania's who offer excellent service and product to the Group, and we are proud to have worked alongside them for a number of years.

Brinscall Quarry covers 40 acres near the town of Chorley and has been operational in excess of one hundred years. This quarry produces a highly desirable and attractive sandstone that can be used as a building stone, including the present work on the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona.

This quarry has been worked in the traditional method of crushing and screening following blasting and extraction of dimension stone to produce aggregate materials.Learn more about our locations across the North West on the Armstrongs website, or call us on 01204 668021.
