Faster turnaround – Clients love our efficient process, we don’t keep you waiting. From templating to installation, the full journey is usually completed within just 5 working days.
Wide choice of materials – While some companies push only their own branded quartz ranges, Purple is independent, working with a wider range of premium suppliers and materials including granite, quartz, marble, and porcelain. This independence gives customers choice and impartial advice instead of being steered towards in-house brands.
True specialists in stone fabrication - Unlike many companies, Purple is a specialist stone fabricator. All work is carried out by our own trained craftsmen, never outsourced. We take responsibility for the entire process: templating → fabrication → polishing → installation → aftercare, ensuring quality and accountability from start to finish.
