Calculate the cost of stone veneer for walls in the UK with GBP pricing and USD conversion.
UK Stone Wall Cost Calculator - Calculate Stone Veneer Costs in GBP
The UK stone wall cost calculator is specifically designed for homeowners and contractors in the United Kingdom who need accurate cost estimates for stone veneer wall projects. This calculator uses UK pricing standards and provides estimates in both British Pounds (GBP) and US Dollars (USD) for easy reference.
Stone veneer is measured in 'squares' in the UK, where one square typically covers approximately 7 square feet. This differs from US measurements, where coverage is calculated differently. Our calculator automatically converts your wall dimensions to the UK square measurement system and provides accurate material quantity estimates based on UK standards.
UK stone veneer prices typically range from £35-£55 per square for flat pieces and £50-£75 per square for corner pieces, though prices can vary based on stone type, supplier, and location. Premium natural stone veneers may cost significantly more. The calculator allows you to input current market prices for accurate cost estimation.
This calculator accounts for windows, doors, and other openings in your wall, automatically subtracting their area from the total coverage needed. It also includes a waste factor to ensure you order enough material for cuts and fitting. For complete project planning, you may also need to calculate mortar requirements and consider base materials if building a new wall structure.
Remember that installation costs are separate from material costs and can vary significantly based on wall complexity, height, and local labor rates. This calculator focuses on material costs, which typically represent 40-60% of total project costs in the UK.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does stone veneer cost in the UK?

What is a 'square' in UK stone measurements?
In the UK, stone veneer is sold by 'squares,' where one square typically covers approximately 7 square feet (0.65 square meters). This measurement system is standard across UK suppliers and differs from US measurements. Our calculator automatically converts your wall area to UK squares.
How do I calculate how many squares I need?
Calculate your total wall area in square feet, subtract any openings (windows, doors), add a 10-15% waste factor for cuts and fitting, then divide by 7 (square feet per UK square). Our calculator performs these calculations automatically based on your wall dimensions.
What's the difference between flat and corner pieces?
Flat pieces are standard stone veneer panels for covering wall surfaces. Corner pieces are specially shaped to wrap around exterior corners, providing a finished appearance. Corner pieces typically cost 30-50% more than flat pieces due to their specialized manufacturing.
Do UK prices include VAT?
UK stone veneer prices may or may not include VAT (Value Added Tax) depending on the supplier. Our calculator shows material costs before VAT. For business purchases, you may be able to reclaim VAT. Always confirm with your supplier whether prices include VAT and factor in 20% VAT if purchasing as a consumer.

Installation costs in the UK typically range from £30-£60 per square meter (£3-£6 per square foot), depending on wall complexity, height, and local labor rates. Professional installation is recommended for best results and typically represents 40-60% of total project costs when including materials.
