Batch information
Porcelain paving is a man-made product crafted in batches and may exhibit variations in colour and texture from batch to batch. This potential variance means that the porcelain you receive upon ordering may differ slightly from the samples sent, or our showroom displays viewed before making your purchase. To maintain product consistency, we advise against combining different sizes as these will inevitably be different batch codes. It is industry standard to allow an additional 10% on all orders.
Should you have any concerns about these variations, please reach out to our sales team for personalised guidance. We recommend keeping note of the โbatch colour codeโ labelled on the packaging of the delivered porcelain. This is a white label of the side of the pallet and also the packing of each individual slab.
While we strive to source the same batch for future orders, this isnโt guaranteed. Therefore, we encourage ordering sufficient quantities initially to maintain uniformity in your project.
Split packs
Split Packs Available
We offer split packs on selected paving products, including natural stone paving (sandstone, Limestone, slate, granite) and our best-selling 600×900 porcelain paving. This allows you to order the exact square metre coverage you need, helping you avoid the cost and waste of buying a full pack.
This option is ideal forย smaller projects, patios, pathways, or topping up an existing order.
Please note:
- Split packs are available onย selected products only
- Mixed-size porcelain paving packs cannot be split
- Delivery is included in the product price
- Orders areย securely repacked onto pallets for safe UK delivery
Ordering Advice

When your paving order arrives, itโs normal for the slabs to appear dusty and grey. Natural Indian Sandstone is typically very pale and pastel in tone, which can make it look dull and grey, unlike the pictures you see on our website. Donโt worry; this is perfectly normal! To better identify the colours, we recommend wetting down the surface of the slabs before installation. This will enhance the colour variable and help you see the different tones, allowing you to create a more even colour palette throughout your paving area.
Each crate of slabs is randomly selected and may not contain an even colour distribution. Therefore, if you are ordering multiple pallets, we advise taking slabs from each pallet during installation for the best results. As sandstone is very porous, it will absorb moisture, and over time, the colours will become more vibrant.
We also recommend ordering all the paving for the same area at the same time, even if you plan to install it over an extended period. This ensures a good blend of colours. Natural stone is unique and not batch-coded, so any paving purchased later may not come from the same quarry or section of the quarry, leading to noticeable colour variables compared to your existing patio. If you are adding to an existing natural stone patio, please contact us and send us some images. We can help you find a suitable match.
When installing natural stone, it is advisable to use a priming slurry, SBR, or preferably both. These should be applied to the back of the slabs before installation. Apply the SBR to the back of the slab and allow it to dry. This creates a protective barrier that reduces moisture absorption, helping to prevent efflorescence and minimise staining from the base. Additionally, a priming slurry should be applied across the entire underside of the slab to improve adhesion to the base. This ensures full contact, reducing gaps that can cause mirror staining, which appears as white marks on the slabโs surface. Mirror staining is difficult to remove and can be unsightly; using the correct installation techniques will help prevent this from happening.
Installing Sandstone Walling Bricksย
Creating a stunning garden or retaining wall with natural sandstone walling bricks requires careful preparation and proper techniques to ensure a durable and visually appealing finish. Follow these steps for a professional result:
1. Preparing the Site
Before laying your sandstone bricks, ensure the foundation is level, stable, and well-compacted. For free-standing or retaining walls, dig a trench below frost level and fill it with a layer of compacted hardcore or gravel. This provides a solid base, preventing movement and settling over time.
2. Laying the First Course
Start with the first layer of bricks, as this sets the alignment for the entire wall. Use a spirit level to ensure the bricks are straight and level. Sandstone walling bricks may have natural variables in size and shape, so slight adjustments may be necessary to achieve a uniform appearance.
3. Mortar Application
Use a high-quality masonry mortar suitable for natural stone. Apply mortar evenly to the base and between each brick, ensuring full contact for stability. Avoid excessive mortar on the surface of the bricks to maintain a clean finish.
4. Staggering Joints
For structural strength and a natural look, stagger the vertical joints between bricks, similar to a traditional brickwork pattern. This helps distribute weight evenly and enhances the wallโs durability.
5. Cutting and Shaping Bricks
Some areas may require cutting bricks to fit corners or edges. Use a diamond-tipped masonry blade or stone splitter for precise cuts, taking care to avoid chipping or damaging the brick surface.
6. Finishing the Wall
Once the wall reaches the desired height, tool the mortar joints for a neat finish. Remove any excess mortar immediately to prevent staining the sandstone. For added protection and enhanced colour, consider applying a stone sealer once the mortar has fully cured.
7. Key Tips for a Long-Lasting Wall
โ
Use a stable, level foundation to prevent settling
โ
Check alignment with a spirit level regularly
โ
Stagger vertical joints for strength and stability
โ
Cut carefully with the right tools for clean edges
โ
Seal the wall after installation to enhance colour and protect against weather
By following these steps, your sandstone walling bricks will create a durable, attractive, and timeless feature in your garden or landscaping project. Proper installation ensures your wall retains its beauty and structural integrity for years to come.
Maintaining Sandstone Walling Bricks โ Tips for Longevity and Beauty
Sandstone walling bricks are a durable and visually appealing choice for gardens, retaining walls, and landscaping features. Proper maintenance ensures your walls remain strong, clean, and beautiful for many years.
1. Regular Cleaning
Sandstone is naturally textured and can accumulate dirt, dust, moss, or algae over time. Clean your wall periodically using:
-
Mild detergent and water: Scrub gently with a soft brush to remove surface dirt.
-
Avoid acidic or harsh cleaners: These can damage the stone or alter its natural colour.
For stubborn moss or algae, a diluted solution of stone-safe cleaner is recommended.
2. Sealing for Protection
Although sandstone is durable, it is porous and can absorb moisture, leading to staining or frost damage. Applying a stone sealer after installation and periodically thereafter helps:
-
Prevent water penetration
-
Reduce moss, mould, and algae growth
-
Enhance natural colour and texture
Choose a sealer that suits your preferred finishโeither natural or โwet-look.โ
3. Inspecting and Repairing
Regularly check your walls for:
-
Loose or cracked bricks
-
Damaged mortar joints
-
Signs of efflorescence (white mineral deposits)
Addressing minor repairs early prevents larger structural issues and preserves the appearance of your sandstone wall.
4. Seasonal Care
-
Winter: Ensure the wall is well-drained to prevent frost damage.
-
Spring & Autumn: Remove accumulated leaves, dirt, or plant debris to reduce staining.
5. Key Maintenance Tips
โ
Clean gently with mild detergent and water
โ
Avoid acidic or harsh chemicals
โ
Seal periodically to protect against moisture and stains
โ
Inspect for cracks, loose bricks, or damaged mortar
โ
Remove moss, algae, or debris regularly
By following these simple steps, your sandstone walling bricks will maintain their natural beauty, strength, and rustic charm for decades, creating a stunning feature in your garden or landscaping project.
