Jersey’s largest and longest serving Monumental masons Jersey Monumental Co Ltd (now known as JMCo) have relocated the whole of their business to La Collette. Still in the Reynolds family which it has been since 1948 it is now run by Mark who is the 3rd generation, in 2007 the fabrication side of the business moved to a larger more practical warehouse to aid a substantial modernisation of machines

used in the processing, lifting and storing of stone. It has come an awful long way since the days of moving stone by blocks & pullies and wooden rollers, cutting it with plugs and feathers, cutting inscriptions by hand with fire sharpened steel chisels and having to book overnight accommodation for staff and horses at St Peter’s Bars when doing large monuments in one of the western Parish’s cemeteries. Bought by Mark’s grandfather George Henry, when it was trading from premises on the corner of David Place & Nelson St, Jersey Monumental soon began to find things getting very cramped and to coincide with his son Barry joining the business after leaving college in 1960 the company move to a new purpose built workshop and offices in New St, a bold move at the time as there were 3 large Stonemason’s all trading in St Helier, with the Introduction into Jersey of the Crematorium in the mid 50’s things started to change significantly for the trade as burials started to decline therefore fewer memorials were being commissioned, so JMCo started supplying & fitting natural stone tiles, marble fireplaces, tables, swimming pool surrounds and Terrazzo stairs and floors. In the mid 70’s as the work load for memorials continued to fall JMCo acquired Gulliver Monumental masons who had been trading in the Parade since the late 1800’s. In 1978 the company purchased their first letter cutting machine, a revolutionary concept of the time that sped the whole process of adding inscriptions to stones, the traditional letter cutters of the day were none too pleased about this modern form but soon warmed to the machine as the monotonous parts of the craft was taken away. Diamond tipped blades for water fed saws started to become the norm this reducing noise and dust, air fed chisels for carvings, diamond headed wheels for polishing marble and granite were also purchased, opening all sorts of avenues for the further use of stone for all around the house at much reduced cost as labour time was being considerably reduced. In 1993 Jersey Monumental purchased F.J Carter Ltd who had been in business since 1872, it is now incorporated within the company. From the mid 90’s the stone industry saw a massive leap in technology greatly aided by the computer and microchips, that was it for Barry, he knew it was time to take a bow from the company and let his son get on with it. Machines were being controlled by computer’s, stone was getting cut, milled, routed and polished with minimal manual involvement. The company purchased their first computerised saw in 1999 followed by another in 2000 and a further one in 2003 to keep up with the growing demand for the use of natural stones in kitchens and bathrooms. By this stage space was getting a little tight in their New St workshops and a move had to be made, after a long search suitable premises were found at La Collette to house existing machines and an ever increasing stock level, more machines were purchased, one being fully computer controlled and weighing 10 tonne itself and the other being a 8 metre edge polisher, in 2015 a CNC saw was purchased followed by another CNC milling machine in 2020, 2022 we saw the company moving forward again with the purchase of a Waterjet CNC which can cut any material apart from diamonds and toughened safety glass. George Henry would be absolutely amazed if he were still around today to see how a company he bought all those years ago has progressed to the stage it is today. JMCO is a truly local company that has moved with the times and been trading for 100 years.

Last year our talented stonemason Neil hand-carved inscriptions onto the gate posts at Government House to commemorate the ascension of King Charles to the throne.

This year ahead of the Royal Visit we were asked to undertake more work, and if you are lucky enough to go to Government house you will see more hand-carved stones laid on the floor at the entrance.

It is a privilege to be commissioned to work on projects like these.

We often put drainage grooves into worktops next to the sink for clients.

The grooves look stylish but they have a specific purpose too, and that is to break up the film of water that drains so that cups, plates and bowls won't aquaplane off the side of the surface.

If you don't have a groove then you may lose a cup or too!

Maintenance plays a big part in looking after our machines in the factory.

Here operatives from a local contractor are draining our machine to remove the residue of used garnet.

The WaterJet machine cuts materials using high-pressure water and garnet. - We principally use it for cutting stone slabs, especially , but it can also cut granite, metal, glass and porcelain.

Take a look at this stunning natural granite found at Beaumont Home Centre kitchen studio.

This is white Agata granite, the veining is one of a kind and no two slabs are ever the same. Our team were able to continue the veining across some of the joints, up-stands and window sills for this bespoke worktop. BHC has put this luxury granite on cupboard units.

If this is your vibe then natural stone is the way to go for your worktops, now that you have chosen your worktop type why not head into BHC to get a kitchen design that matches the luxury of natural stone.

Kitchen worktop project recently completed in Silestone by Cosentino Calacatta Gold, showcasing the kitchen's ample worktop space.

Halo Construction have done a great job on this property renovation project and the kitchen is top quality.

The client requested an apron edge finish, this makes the worktop appear thicker by adding a mitred edge, which keeps the total weight down compared to using a thicker stone.

Ever wondered how / what effort goes in to setting a memorial headstone?

We showed last week that the first part is to set pile foundations. Following that concrete sub-kerbs are installed, and then comes the finishing touches illustrated below as the headstone is put in place, the kerbs set and the top filled and covered - in this instance with pink granite pebbles, but can also be coloured glass or a solid top.

There is a huge amount of care and attention given to every memorial, and you'll be able to spot ours as they have our logo on the front corner.

21/06/2024

Yesterday we had a team out pile-driving which is the first part of laying a memorial foundation.

Pile foundations ensure better stability for the kerbs and headstones.

Foundations have only been compulsory in the majority of cemeteries in Jersey for the last 30 years.

The pile driver is powered by compressed air that comes from a mobile compressor that we take out to site.

Over the first two weeks of June we took on a Trident student from Grainville School who was fantastic!

The only real way to learn how to be a stonemason and / or fabricator is to do the job, and recruiting people to the business is often a challenge. Following internal discussions we decided to sign up to the Trident scheme run by Skills Jersey to not only support a young person in their learning journey, but to potentially open the door to a new recruit.

Trident is an unpaid work experience programme that all Jersey students in secondary schools take part during Year 10 and provides an opportunity to experience working life whilst still at school.

Konrad spent time working in the fabrication unit where he cut and polished stone using a THIBAUT SA saw as well as programming our Flow Waterjet Europe machine.

On other days he worked alongside and learned from stonemasons about making stencils and 'sandblasting' as well as hand-carving letters for monumental headstones, a unique skill that is slowly being lost.

We have discussed and hope that Konrad will return to help out over the summer holiday and possibly consider this as a career when he leaves school.

His willingness to listen, learn and get involved was both brilliant and infectious. He has certainly set a high bar for our next student to follow!

Our Journey

After nearly 60 years of trading from their New Street premises Jersey’s largest and longest serving Monumental masons Jersey Monumental Co Ltd (now known as JMCo) have now fully settled into state of the art workshops and stunning showrooms situated at La Collette.
