When the reclaimed setts are delivered are they clean, partly cleaned or just as they have been dug up.
If you have to how do you clean them?

They are very clean for reclaimed! The last job in Wiltshire they had to be cleaned with a lump hammer as they were covers in tar. It helped that it was very cold and the tar just shattered, hard going tho!

Snapping!

looking good haggi was a tough week over here too with all the rain. How many metres a day are you managing to get down out of interest.
