Tony,
Can you offer me you opinion on Stonemarket's Trustone Paving, as I am considering them for my new patio.
Excellent site by the way.

It's very nice stuff, backed by the largest paving manufacturer in the country, but there are equally good stone flags on the market at a better price. For example, Stoneflair's identical stone paving is readily available for a few bob under 20 quid per square metre (plus VAT), and some of the specialist importers, such as Kent-Blaxill, or Midlands Slate&Tile, are even cheaper.
However, if you've your heart set on a particular TruStone product, then there are no problems with it and it's just as good as any other imported stone on the market, with the advantage of being fairly readily available from a wide range of outlets.
Which particular 'TruStone' did you fancy?

Cheers Tony for your prompt reply.
I am keen on the Glenmoor stone as they supply the edging in the same colour. I've been quoted (by MKM building supplies in Hull) £382.66+VAT for a 4 size mixed pack(12.8sqm). The area I'm laying is aprox. 30sqm, so it's going to cost me around a grand for the stone.

Compare and contrast with Glendale stone from Stoneflair - I'm not saying they're exactly the same stone, but they are remarkabaly similar in all aspects except for price, as the Glendale is about 10 quid a square metre cheaper!
Funnily enough, it also comes in 4 sizes and 12.8m² packs! ;)
