    Do you take a deposit?

    i ask for deposits on nearly all jobs regardless of size, there was a period of a month last year when iw as really busy and didnt ask a few for deposits and hey ho it raised its ugly head again and one went elsewhere and another started mucking me about so for me the deposit upfront works.

    Stone News: Neolith Releases New Collection Combining Technology and Design

    Neolith Releases New Collection Combining Technology and Design
    Neolith presents Neolith Iconic Design, a new collection that transforms the language of surfaces by merging technology, design and art into a unique expression of sophistication and realism. The collection is the result of more than five years of research and development. It incorporates a groundbreaking 3D printing technology and full body veining design where the surface comes to life from the inside and flows continuously outwards, allowing for an entire volume with perfectly integrated aesthetics. With this innovation, Neolith redefines the concept of naturalness, achieving an unprecedented level of realism by creating a surface particle by particle, as if it were crafted by nature itself.​
