Slate paving slabs

Whether you're intending to use these slabs in small or large project, this material is an extremely good choice. These slate paving slabs can be used for both internal and external paving.

Dimensions

The slate paving slabs are calibrated. This means they will have a thickness of around 20mm. 

Usually the slate paving slabs are installed to form joints of between 10 - 15mm. The edges are sawn square so you can achieve close butted joints if required.

Finish

The slabs have a natural "riven" finish. 

Availability

We usually have these slate paving slabs available for delivery from stock.

Delivery:

Delivery can be arranged throughout the UK.  If the material is in stock it will normally be delivered within 3 working days of your order.

*Our website price includes standard delivery to most of the UK.

The standard delivery method is using a lorry to delivery the paving in a wooden crate.  The lorry will be equipped with a "tail lift" to offload the crate to the kerbside.  The lift lowers the crate to the ground and then the driver will use a hand pumped "pallet truck" to move the crate off of the tail lift platform to leave it at the kerb side.

The lorry will not be able to offload if your delivery is required to a location that is:

• Not level - The driver is not able to unload a crate if there is a slope.

• Not surfaced with tarmac or concrete. The wheels of a pallet truck are small and can only be used on a completely hard surface.  Gravel and unpaved or uneven surfaced are not suitable for standard delivery.

• Considered inaccessible or unsafe to offload by the driver.

• Prohibited from unloading or waiting.

If any of these factors apply please do not order online but contact us for further advice.

Other delivery methods (including a crane offload) are available at additional cost.

The following postcodes are not included as standard delivery:

AB10-16, AB21-25,AB30-39, AB41-56, GY, HS, IM, IV, JE, KW, PA, PH, PO31-34, TR21, ZE

If you require a special delivery method or require delivery to one of the postcodes listed above please do not order online, but contact us for a quotation.

Cleaning

We recommend regular washing to improve the slip resistance, particularly in areas where algae occurs.  This is mostly in shady damp areas.  Leaf mould and other organic matter can also make slate more slippery.  We offer a range of sealants to help keep slate clean and we also offer treatments to remove cement stains and other marks.  If you plan to use near a barbeque we particularly recommend sealing to reduce the penetration of fatty liquds into the slate.
