Patio Slab suppliers

Options
Hi guys, wondering if anyone has anywhere they recommend for patio supplies? I'm ideally looking for york stone or something similar (the one with big squares, little squares and rectangles) and we will lay it all ourselves but as we need 31 square metres, price is key :)

Thanks

    Can't recommend anywhere in particular, but what I would say is haggle :-) When I did our patio, I played Jewsons off against Travis Perkins ( purely because they were both local to us ), ended up paying about half the catalogue price. Don't be afraid to haggle - particularly if you're going to be spending a fair amount of dosh, the store manager does have quite a bit of discretion available to him / her. In fact, I've had more success at the builders merchants, who I didn't even know would supply retail at first, than I've ever had at the likes of B&Q etc.

    Indian Sandstone is your best bet, that's what the company Cally1 suggested sells.

    That's about the best value for money you'll get. Plenty of suppliers around.
