Just out of interest Ian how come the budget can stretch to Welsh slate but not a soakaway?

I was thinking that - do you have a cheap source?

Â£29 per m2 for Welsh slate sounds impossible to me.

Kota blue in my opinion is a fantastic stone. Of all the stuff we sell I would have to say kota blue is my personal favourite.

Its very durable, requires little maintenence, looks tremendous and is an absolutre bargain.

Cant go wrong with kota blue IMO
