Indian sandstone - which manufacturer

[jlc9779]

Looking to buy some Indian Sandstone paving for an arbour which will require only a small area but will want to replace the existing patio in a few years so thought it would be best to buy from an established company such as Marshalls / Bradstone (only ones Ive googled so far). Any recommendation on which company provide good quality Indian Sandstone which I can then buy more of next year for the patio at the opposite end of the garden. Any recommendations on where to buy it from also, need delivery next week ideally in Leeds.

Thanks Jonathan

There's a FAQ looking at some of the more important points to consider when choosing a supplier. There are also links to the bestter suppliers.

A brand tends to offer better quality; a smaller supplier tends to offer a keener price. Which is more important to you?

Probably looking for better quality than price and from an established manufacturer / supplier then someone who may have disappeared in a year when I need some more.

Most of the top end brands have distribution deals with various Builders' Merchants. Marshalls wil be with such-a-one; Bradstone with another; Natural Paving with someone else, and the same for PaveStone, Global Stone, Strata, Digby and many others. It's a matter of finding out who near you has what, for how much, and when they can deliver.

If you fancy an independent with an impeccable service record, I can heartily recommend Scott Cowley at Cowley Stone near Worksop. He has a great display garden and is incredibly helpful when it comes to advice on what stone works best for any given situation.

Thanks so much, if its any help this is the house / patio we are hoping to replace eventually. Any suggestions would be great.

Modern house, so I'd look at something contemporary. A textured concrete, a hard stone such as granite or limestone, or, the current big thing - porcelain.

George (above) can talk you through the various options, but I'd strongly recommend having a look at a display area. Publicity photies are all well and good, but nothing beats seeing the paving in natural daylight, out in the open, in a realistic setting.

Porcelain or brazilian slate! Bullet proof if you want a maintenance free patio!
