Sandstone Paving

TCB1

Hi there, hoping someone may be able to offer some advice.

I am having a new patio laid as part of an extension we are having built and have decided on sandstone for the slabs. Mainly because they look nice and seem to be fairly cheap.

How do we decide where to get them from? Our local yards sell it at around £18 a square metre however on the internet it is around £15 a square metre. The total to be ordered is 55 square metres so the price difference matters!

Is there a difference in qualities (they are all 25-30 thick) or as long as it is laid properly and sealed does it matter where it is from?

Thanks!

There's not a great deal in it to be honest. It's pretty much all Indian sourced.
