Can anyone tell me if there is a supplier out there offering new yorkstone riven finish paving circle features? I have a client who wishes me to price for a job using new yorkstone paving which would include a circle feature. He claims his daughter recently had similar laid down south!
Also for patio work we normally lay on a full mortar bed over a sub-base, would this need apply to 50-60mm yorkstone?

Allways use a full bed whatever the usage and if you cant find a supplier for the circle cut you own its not as hard as you may think just draw a scale plan to the size you want and then cut a hardboard template to each corresponding piece and use this to mark the flags before cutting.
It sounds like a lot of work but you will probably only end up cutting 4 pieces of hardboard as the pattern repeats itself on each layer, and once youve got the templates made you can use them whenever you like you may even become a manufacturer of new yorkstone circles as there is obviously a shortage of them.

Standard apology - been off for a few days due to angina. Sorry for delayed responses.
Johnsons Wellfield, Farrar's and BBS can all supply circle features in genuine yorkstone, but I suspect that what you client's daughter has seen is a circle formed from imported (Indian) sandstone, as these are very popular at the moment and it's only saddoes like me that would be able to tell you that it's not actually yorkstone.
Yorkstone tends to be supplied in more generous thicknesses than and so have a higher flexural strength than much of the imported sandstones. Consequently it is possible to lay it on a full bed of clean grit sand, although if you opted to lay on a cement-bound bed, that would not present any real problems.
