In general it is around £20 to £30 per letter or alternatively for engravings £20 per hour.
Factors that determine the lower rate or the higher rate are:

Toughness of the stone
Granite, being an igneous rock will take longer to cut into and consequently cost more per letter/hour. Even though Granite as a stone has come down a lot in wholesale price in the last decade.
Simple fonts versus italicised
Roman fonts tend to be the norm, as it looks in keeping, classical and relatively straight forward as a font. Italicised fonts and elaborate fonts will be in the upper cost per letter bracket as they are technical to cut.
Time
Those projects needed in a rush will be charged roughly 20% surcharge for the earlier than normally advertised delivery.
You can visit the workshop at any time to check progress on your order/stonework.

Headstones
will take 1 month to source the stone from the right quarry. Lettercutting and engraving will take a further month, with final delivery and fitting 7 months later. The ground has to have a minimum of 6-9 months to settle before installing the headstone.
Restoration
will typically be a quicker turnaround, especially with simple engravings, like Victorian bay window restorations. We try to be flexible and expeiante as normally there is other work going on on the site and we don't want to hold up other trades starting their works.
Stone Bay window renovation
mainly for residential victorian home owners.
Exhibitions
These will tend to be time consuming as the artist will have to be in constant contact with feedback during the whole stage to make sure they are happy with progress.
Delivery included in the price/quote within London and Home counties
Outside of this, we charge extra for delivery
Fitting is included in the price
typically headstones and memorials. Fitting for stone bay windows is included in the price, although we can quote with no fitting, if you wish which would be cheaper.
