We regularly receive telephone calls asking for advice, from unhappy people who have bought yorkstone paving slabs from an internet site (not ours we hasten to add), only to find they have been let down with the delivery or delivered the wrong kind of paving slabs. We do urge prospective purchasers to be vigilant in their dealings with internet sites to ascertain if they are reputable companies selling genuine yorkstone paving. We know there are some excellent internet sites selling yorkstone, but there are also some to avoid. We do have some handy tips for those who want to buy genuine yorkstone on the internet, these tips are listed below. We also suggest prospective purchasers check all internet sites for an address (hopefully where there is a stoneyard), and a landline number which someone answers during working hours. Does the internet site show pictures of the stoneyard and not just pictures of finished products like wonderful patios and drives. When you speak to someone, don't just ask for the price per metre, always ask if it is genuine yorkstone. Ask if it is in stock and can be viewed. It is important that you get what you want and the best thing is to view the yorkstone before buying, but if this is not possible then ask questions. Remember good yorkstone comes at a price. It is often false economy to buy cheaper yorkstone. - there is always a reason why it is cheaper. It could be laminating (splitting) or very thick (well over 95mm) or from a mill where it might have been contaminated.    more »
