had some stone flagging laid down this last couple of days - the builder's removed the old concrete flags and has placed all 10 of them leaning at a slight angle against a brick wall of the house just under the window of what is a garage conversion (brickwork is about 2 yrs old or bit less). only one of the flags (in fact, just the edge of it) is actually touching the wall.

he'll move them in about a month or so (long story), but meanwhile is it safe for these concrete flags (they're the 900 by 600 bog standard kind) to be leaning against the house?

flags are supposed to be laid flat in like a crisscross pattern
but those flags are unlikely to push your house over
why leave for a month? get them moved now

erm yes he's only left them there cos he's too lazy to move them anywhere else. not worried about house getting pushed over. just worried about damp etc if we get a freak snow...

can't move them now cos of holidays etc.

Go lean them on his front door or put them on freecycle for collection only
