Topic: Paving Slabs

[Chilipepper]

Anyone know where you can buy cheap in the northeast preferably county durham?

B&Q have lots of slabs for under a £1 each.  I paid 88p per slab.  Think it was 80p off per slab.  Worth have a look.

Check whether your local council tip allows you to take away hard landscaping stuff like bricks and slabs.  Mine does.

I just Googled builders' merchants in County Durham and as well as a load of independents there are 6 Jewsons, 2 Travis Perkins, a Wickes, 3 Build Centres ...................

I rang the local council as my mum said you use dto be able to buy them but they dont do that anymore, can you just go to the local recycle place and ask i cant find a number for it?

Round our way the council outsources it's pavement work. Every now and then we arrange to buy a lorry load of council slabs direct from the contractor for 50p each delivered. I suspect they end up paying to landfill them otherwise. Keep your eye out for workman replacing the pavement and stop and ask.

[Chilipepper]

I will thankyou very much

[springbok]

Checked B&Q too, your right all the cheap ones have gone... Sorry about that :)

The B & Q website has slabs at £1.17 each which are in stock in Durham and Washington.  You can check stock for your local store on the website.

If you can't find stuff using Google, try the phone book.
