I reckon £3000 for the food.

Shame you haven't got a cherry picker or a helicopter to get a photo of the full job. Maybe send Haggis up on to the roof? :p

As above but sett in with a 2.5lb lump hammer and a 10mm gap all pointed with GTFK 800 epoxy pointing. These setts were 50mm thick anything thinner and you could pour some SBR and cement mix in to your prepared bed before laying them for peace of mind.
