180-200 quid per metre isn't a silly price for this part of the world. They can (and do) pay 100 quid more ion that London.

When you consider that one supplier of reclaimed yorkstone (clue: named after a 70's TV show) was asking me for....get this.... 105 quid per square metre (plus VAT and del.) and you can see how the price ramps up. Incidentally, that price was for a measly 3,000m² so 16m² might cost a couple of quid more!

£2950 sounds like a fair price. I know people in "the dirty sarth" (credit luton for that phrase) who would charge a lot more than that. by the time you have paid your VAt & delivery on just the stone your already north of £1500.
There are a lot of customers out there who want the best but don't want to pay for it.
