I've a feeling that is/was a product sold as "Broadway" and manufactured by Bradstone. It is discontinued but I know some small local manufacturers will still be churning it out, probably in a different colour. Wyresdale near Preston might have it.
Now I'm not so sure about the "Broadway" reference. I just checked my library and the only matching named product I can find is "Basket Weave" by Village Stone which was a trading style of RMC before they were gobbled up by Cemex. The brand is still going but no sign of the Basket Weave flag, although they've kept some of the other truly awful products going.
Good luck getting anywhere with Cemex. They don't even have the courtesy to reply to my emails any more
This product was 'Courtyard' originally by Supreme Concrete in Old Granite colour. They sold out to AI (Aggregate Industries) and the slab was continued for a short while under the Stoneflair banner. However, it was finally laid to rest about 4/5 years ago.
It was a very common flag and supplied all over the UK.
There are other very similar style flags still on the market - usually smaller independent manufacturers but they do take some finding. I think they use a generic mould etc..
I know Oakdale manufactured something similar but i looked on there web-site and cannot see it in the current range.
Will try ringing Wyresdale but it looks more trade than the kind of place a random punter can turn up to buy a dozen stones! http://g.co/maps/ktypa
times are hard, you know what you want, if they have got it you're buying and paying cash, don't be to afraid your not in the trade, it doesn't bother me.
Well i collect direct from their yard but its ordered through my buildbase account, i just land up there in truck and trailer with an order number, same at tarmac/cemex/bardons etc etc
Hi, I'm also trying to track down some older style pavers. I've found a similar looking paver on this Paving Expert page, under the Choosing Shape section, labelled as W block.
I need to extend my driveway so I'm looking to source approx. 500 of these, but have yet to find a local (non trade) supplier. Searching for 'w block pavers' doesn't really provide any help - are they known by any other name? Thanks, Nick.
there have been discussed previously and I watched the quantity you require go off to land fill a little over a year ago, another few quid I didn't make!!! might be cheaper to sell what you got and start again.
Thanks for your reply. Shame about the quantity going off to land fill - would have been ideal! After reading the other posts you mentioned it does look like the Cemex Ready-Loc paver looks almost identical so I'll give them a call and see what they can do. Cheers.
