Dentate (tooth shaped) paving blocks - Where can i find these?

[goodfellaz]

I am trying to locate dentate shaped paving blocks to replace a few that were broken on my neighbours property when build a rear extension. The blocks that I am looking for are brown in colour and are prictured on the pavings expert website (under the section choosing shape ) at the following location (see first photo).

Any help in locating these blocks is greatly appreciated.

If you don't bother with the request not to send the same question by email and simultaneously post it to the Brew Cabin, you end up waiting for a benevolent mood to descend before I can be bothered to provide an answer.

Shaped blocks are not available off-the-shelf in Britain for silly historical reasons. They are a special order item.

Thanks for the response, sorry for doubling up your workload. Can you suggest where I might make that 'special order'.

Do you really need a wagon load? That's the sort of quantity in which they're sold. Unless, by some sort of miracle, you find a contractor/civils merchant with a small quantity of surplus stock, most regular suppliers would have to buy in from one of the European manufacturers, and they wouldn't be interested in small orders. I know of a job in Runcorn where just less than a pack of the Rima block was needed and the contractor paid 900 quid in delivery charges.
