Product/supplier of smooth black paving slabshho

[romfordlandscaper]

hi all.

i'm currently searching high and low for a certain type of slab. i've found some possibilities, but often finding a supplier can be a whole other problem - and also many will only sell those blasted and annoyingly creativity-restricting project packs of most slabs.

what i'm looking for is a dark black paving slab of size 600x300mm (or thereabouts), with very smooth surface and solid edges that are straight / sawn. slabs that do not vary in thickness would also be better. we need a quantity of just 16 of these.

three slabs which look particularly good are MST Landscape's "Kotah Black", and Stonemarket's "Avant Garde - Ebony" and "Trustone Torvale". those have the kind of look we're after, although with the Kotah Black the edges are not sawn and this is not preferred.

i'm taking a shot here in case anyone knows of a suitable product, and supplier who should have them. i'm located in Romford (Greater London / Essex area).

thanks for any help!

dunno about suppliers but be aware that these "black" flags tend to fade to grey after a bit

What about a black-ish granite? Have you tried CED? I'm sure they have a very dark charcoal granite, either sawn or flamed, that would be far superior to the barious limestones.

thanks Tony. although we have since found two other possibilities locally which we might go with, i'll check out what they have at CED. i had been looking at granite before...

thanks also for the warning LLL.
