We've used these on our drive, they look awesome. The service from Honister Slate was also fantastic. Would definitely recommend them and the slate chippings.

1000kg cheaper than 800kg from builders merchants

1000kg of slate chippings were cheaper than 800kg from the builders merchants. Delivery was efficient and the driver brought the pallet down my driveway with his pallet truck. The slate looks great now it is in place. Couldn't be happier.
