Hi,

Sorry about this ball-ache of a question:

Looking to order some slabs for my customer (the job is to match some more slabs in on the sides of the present patio).

Could you tell me what you think they may be, they look alot like marshalls heritage yorkstone (calder brown) - with the riven surface, but since the client has jet washed them clean it's got rid of alot of the muck and they have come up with alot more red/orange and light shades than the heritagecalder brown range.

What do you think boys: (heres some pics - hopefully):

Incidentally this isn't a patio I've done, I'm being employed to install approximately 22sqm or so of new slabs to either side of the existing patio shown above.

The size of the joints in this patio are around 20 - 50mm? (in some places) - not good. You could but a mars bar in some of them and it still wouldn't touch the sides?

Thanking you in advance for any assistance lads.

Looks like Indian Sandstone and if it didn't have that stonking red one in the middle i'd say raj green.

I'm sure someone with more than a crap guess will be along soon.

It's tumbled Indian sandstone, I think:)
The giveaway is the smooth surface which is why it's got that concrete feel. It could be raj green or autumn brown, there is not much between the two sometimes

Thanks so much boys, totally agree with indian sandstone, I went through the marshalls catalogue (eventually found under alot of crap in the storage shed) and saw some pics of the marshalls stuff which looks pretty much identical, they do buff, brown multi and something else, thanks for your help - I'll put on here what I've ordered soon, just to close the topic, thanks again.
