Sorry to muscle in again but what do you mean that no one will answer your thread!

Advice given by those in the trade is to use a local merchant. It's just unfortunate the tradesmen on here are not local to you (or me!).

Let's hope they've heard of Strata, and you can get suited soon.
How much is it?

HI Bob, I meant my other thread on Strata stone (it went on the other day but no replies yet) :(
I Agree, I wish they were local too!

To be honest I'm not sure how much it is per square metre. I asked for 2 quotes from local builders to lay the 28sqm patio. One chap said £4000 for the Bradstone riven concrete slabs. And this one said £2000 with the Strata sandstone!
I said yes plesase!!!

Hope your project is going well.
Karen.

Hi Karen, sorry didn't realise you had another thread!

I'm in a similar predicament to yourself so I do sympathise with you.
We should all support our local shops and services wherever possible but sometimes that's easier said than done.
In your pursuit to do what is right you could end up with a pile of crap and be dealing with a small company that has no hierarchy to answer to when things go wrong.

If you don't get the answers you're looking for perhaps you'd be better off buying a branded name like Marshall from one of the internet shops.
You'll be getting a name you'll know and you'll be protected by distance selling

Plus you can slag them off here which is the world’s best-read source of paving.
