FAQ's
How much coverage do I get to the ton?
When we talk to you about prices, we will often suggest a metre coverage area, yet we emphasise that these are only approximate. There is always the need to allow for wastage and that we sell by an approximate weight. Each product has a different coverage amount so never be afraid to ask for our advice.How is the stone delivered?
The majority of our materials are delivered loose but some are palletised. In addition, some can be bagged for supply if required. We will ask you about site access when discussing delivery as some vehicles may be unsuitable for your location. We can supply in a number of different vehicles. Haulage terms:- Moffett - a vehicle with a small all terrain forklift attached to the back.
- Tipper - a vehicle which can tip loose materials from the back of the lorry.
- Hiab - a lorry with a crane capable of lifting pallets or bags off and placing them down.
- Flatbed - a flatbed lorry has a flat surface on the back which cannot off load itself.
Does the stone change colour?
Slate is a natural product and therefore it is not possible to guarantee uniform colours. Once the stone it taken out of the ground the environment will begin to affect it. Natural oxidisation occurs and the rustic/sandy tones of the stone can begin to come out.
