Slate paving

Hi
We are going to have a new patio laid and have decided on slate. We've had three prices from local builders merchants in Cardiff whose prices do vary. I've been looking at prices on the Internet- has anybody bought their slabs online or can suggest a reliable company?
Thanks for any advice

    Make sure your installers are happy with your choice, ie, what lands on the yard, before they start to lay them, ;);)

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    I assume you mean imitation slate slabs, not actual slate?

    There is an awful lot of cheap Indian and Chinese slate and stone in the market place today, so it could be either;)
