Excellent experience: Stunning stone and wonderful service

We had an excellent experience working with Starel throughout our refurbishment project. After visiting and comparing many stone suppliers across the UK, the stones we found at Starel were simply the most beautiful and refined of all the options we saw. The quality, consistency and elegance of the materials immediately stood out.

One detail that particularly impressed us was the subtle micro-bevel on the tiles. It is a small refinement, but it makes a remarkable difference once installed — giving the stone definition and craftsmanship. It creates a very clean, architectural finish that works beautifully in contemporary interiors while still feeling timeless.

Another major advantage of Starel is the breadth of complementary pieces available. Being able to source matching skirtings, mouldings, pencil trims and more specialised profiles such as inverse flutes from the same stone range makes an enormous difference for anyone trying to design a cohesive space. Many suppliers provide beautiful tiles but very limited detailing pieces; Starel’s range allows a project to be finished properly and with real design continuity.

The service has also been exceptional. Julia in particular deserves special mention. She consistently goes out of her way to help, find solutions and make things possible — even when requests are complicated or time-sensitive. In the middle of the inevitable stresses of a major refurbishment, she has been a calm, reassuring and highly professional person to speak to. That combination of knowledge, responsiveness and genuine kindness is rare and very much appreciated.

Overall, Starel combines outstanding materials with thoughtful detailing options and excellent customer service. For anyone looking for high-quality natural stone with the finishing pieces needed to execute a truly well-designed project, we would recommend them without hesitation.

woeful customer service Nice Tiles, Poor Communication and Missed Lead Times

I paid for and ordered tiles knowing there would be a lead time. However, the lead time has been extended far beyond what was originally quoted.

This is the second time I have used this company. The tiles themselves are nice, but the customer service is horrendous. You can never speak to anyone — everything is done via email, which leads to endless back-and-forth that never resolves the issue and becomes a frustrating waste of time.

For that reason, I would recommend going to Mandarin Stone instead. Spend a little more and you will get far better service. The tiles here are nice, but the customer service is honestly the worst I have ever experienced.

Wonderful customer service from Alex

During the course of our project we realised that we needed a few more meters of tile to account for changes - but the tile we chose was showing as out of stock online. I called Alex and she tracked down the exact amount we needed in the warehouse and arranged for a quick delivery so that our job could progress on schedule!

Great follow up service

We placed a large order for a renovation project we were doing. Due to a change of plans we ended up being a bit short of some of the tiles we needed. After phoning up Starel, Sophie and Kam worked hard to match the tile colours with the warehouse and get us expedited deivery to ensure that our project could remain on track. Great service and products from Starel Stones!

I cannot get a hold of anyone

I cannot get a hold of anyone! I have emailed 2 different emails multiple times, I have rang multiples times a day and I cannot get an answer. Can someone please arrange to contact me back! The tiles were delivered but a few had a hairline crack so I need to get more delivered to finish our bathroom but no one is responding
