For whatever reason it won't allow me to mine anything from the stone quarry or the clay one either for my house.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,

By activating them? Did you try manually "attacking" them with the pick?
1. Do not attack the mines with a pick they have a habit of not respawning.
2. If caught in a loop and not mining try again if it still happens. You might have the animation glitch for that sit down, do some smithing that usually resets the animation. The usually cause of this is that you are in sneak mode and try to mine and that will sometimes cause it to glitch.
