I need to buy 65 square metres of paving slabs for a little project. I'd like a sandstone coloured tile, probably riven finish. Prefer larger tiles than smaller tiles.

Where's best to buy at a reasonable price - I'm trying to spend less than £15 per metre delivered (inc VAT), but it's proving a tad tricky so far!

Anyone on PH do this and fancy supplying some??

Or at least a recommendation.

Cheers

Surely a friendly PH member must either have bought some good prices slabs recently, or know of a source?

Don't tell me I've beaten the PHers?! wink

Think you'll struggle at that price delivered unless you find some end of line stuff. Multi-coloured slate may be an option like this...........

I'll ask Wifey tonight to see what they got (they had a yard sale a month or two ago and may have stuff left).

Last year I bought a couple of standard flags from B and Q. Their price worked out at about £15/m2 not delivered. I think that you're only chance to achieve your price point and service is a 'seconds' flag, end of line, poor quality, over ordered supplies or bankrupt stock.

Thanks for that - much appreciated. If you have an answer, when you get a moment, if you could please drop me a PM I'd be most grateful.

You can get indian sandstone at that price, which may or may not suit your look. Just google - you'll see what I mean

Are you getting confused with 65 metres squared?
