    Guys

    Looking now at paving around the house,an area of roughly 100 - 150 sq m.

    Been looking at Archeson & Glover, RoadStone, Tobermore.

    Is there any more which you can think off?

    Any one experiences of any suppliers, pro's con's?

    Will be doing the job myself.

    Thanks

    I went with 60mm Tobermore. I believe they are harder wearing, and come in a wider range of colours than the other two you mentioned.

    Thanks for that.

    Did you price around?

    I priced Archeson @ 23 per sqm EX VAT.
    Roadstone @16.16 per sqm in vat! :eek:
    Tobermore - Tegula is 22.95 per sqm
    - Roma is 26.70 per sqm

    Some difference!

    Dunno where exactly you are based but if you are willing to travel, there are loads of little concrete workers doted around the country. There is a lad between Strokestown & Termonbarry off to the left that has a HUGE range of paving. Sorry if this is of no relevance.....:rolleyes:

    ?No thanks for that. Do they have site or that? IF the paving looks good I wouldn't be paniced about where he is.

    We didn't price around, as we only wanted tobermore. I was going to buy direct from tobermore, but the paver bought it for me, as he gets a better price as thats all he lays.

    It was Tegula Bracken we went with in the end, which we are very happy with.
