Thanks LLL and TC for your valuable comments on my fist post.
As you say, the cost of the slabs doesn’t make any difference to the laying costs, which is why I’ve posted a new topic…. (You’re all thinking this bloke’s nuts!!)
I have come to the conclusion there aint no substitute for real Yorkstone, and consequently am prepared to add £1000 to the overall cost of my patio. After all, I don’t plan top move again, and have already spent a lot of money on the gaff!!
As it is a 50’s built house, new cut stone will look better that reclaimed, and am rather taken by the Priory slabs at Stonepave, which at £41 + vat including delivery I thought was about as cheap I’m likely to find!! (Any comments on the quality of their stone?)
However I did find a company called The Stone-Paving-Merchant who quote £36 + vat on their website!! Not sure what they’re like, but they don’t have a link on here, so maybe worth steering clear?
One last question – when they say random x random sizes, are the individual sizes fairly consistent, so you can logical assemble them into 38 square metres of patio??
Not too sure if 600 or 450 x random is more suitable to modern styles?
Thanks again for any advice.
Regards
The completely clueless homeowner!!
