seems to good to a price to be true, but I guess that is why you are asking?

Its not Â£28 per m2 its Â£28 per flag plus vat

845 x 560 = 0.473m2 which is less than half a metre so your paying more than Â£57.60 m2 for the Ashen Grey Sandblasted

I must admit Mick, it seems confusing as the price is next to the flag size, but it says, 'price is per m2 except samples) next to it?
But the price per flag seems more in line with other suppliers.

We've got some sawn grey sandstone in our clearance range at the moment at a better price than this including vat & delivery if this helps at all. Have a look at the second page of specials here: http://www.pavingsuperstore.co.uk/special-offers-3172-c.asp

Let me know if we can help at all

I know the guys at stone traders as they are a company based local to us. The price quoted is per m2 and not per slab. Stone traders are at the cheaper end of the market, so their products are good value for money.
Regarding the ashen grey though, my advice would be to steer clear of it on the grounds that it is very soft. We ordered a container of it a few years ago and it does not stand up well to the uk climate. It ended up costing us a lot of money because we had to replace a number of patios due to the stone delaminating and basically falling apart after only a couple if years laid.
Good luck with your search and if you need any more info shout up
