Corner mounts for raised slab paving

[mrb]

I'm trying to find a stockist of corner mounts for paving slabs so I can lay a paving floor on what is effectively a roof (a block and beam floor over a cellar below).

I'll waterproof a concrete skim below for run-off, but want to keep it light, and don't want to lay the slabs on sand/ cement.

Can anybody help, please?

Caro is the company your want - they manufacture those little roof support jobbies for flags/slabs and will be able to put you in touch with a local distributor.

Try their website or telephone 01223 208600

Excellent - many thanks. Now I just have to sort out the drainage and find a nice, dark grey English stone that can be cut to shape!

Why english? Is there some reason you can't use an imported Indian stone? Stoneflair have a lovely dark grey imported stone flag in 4 sizes.

I'm trying to keep the project local, where possible. We've used Welsh slate (which is on the roof, too, of what was once a factory, now our house), and other 'green' materials.

I'm hoping I can get something from Purback or Portland (the latter isn't very dark, or grey, come to that!).

But, if I don't find anything, Indian it may well be!

Best wishes.

Have a look at the British Stone website - they have a list of virtually every flagstone quarry in the UK, along with info on the colour of the stone produced. :)

Cool - many thanks.
