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 โ€˜batch 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 isnโ€™t 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

Mixed-size project packs can only beย split by square metre, not by individual slab sizes.

Why Customers Choose Split Packs

โœ”ย Buy only what you need โ€“ no full pack required
โœ”ย Perfect for small patios, garden paths, and extensions

INSTALLATION GUIDE โ€“ BLACK LIMESTONE PAVING PLANKS

To achieve the best possible finish and long-term performance, black limestone planks should be installed with care and on a properly prepared base.


IMPORTANT HANDLING INFORMATION

Black limestone is a dense but naturally brittle material, meaning care must be taken during handling and installation.

  • Always handle slabs carefully to avoid chipping or cracking
  • Use a rubber mallet when positioning slabs
  • Avoid excessive force during laying

While limestone can be fragile during installation, once correctly laid on a full mortar bed, it becomes strong, stable, and highly durable.


BASE PREPARATION

  • Excavate to the required depth
  • Install a compacted sub-base (e.g. MOT Type 1)
  • Ensure a stable, level surface with adequate drainage

A solid base is essential for long-term performance.


PRIMING & LAYING

  • Lay on a full mortar bed (recommended)
  • Apply a priming slurry to the underside of each plank before laying
  • Position slabs with consistent joint spacing

This ensures full contact with the bed and reduces the risk of movement or staining.


CUTTING & TOOLS

  • Use a suitable diamond blade designed for natural stone
  • Ensure cutting equipment is appropriate for limestone

Incorrect tools may cause chipping or damage.


JOINTING

  • Use a suitable mortar or jointing compound
  • Ensure joints are fully filled to prevent movement

Avoid very dark jointing compounds if a consistent finish is required.


COLOUR & WEATHERING (IMPORTANT)

Black limestone is naturally a dark grey stone, not a true jet black. When first installed, it may appear darker, especially when wet.

Over time, exposure to sunlight and weather will cause the stone to fade to a lighter grey tone.

This is a natural process and not a fault.


SEALING BLACK LIMESTONE

Sealing is strongly recommended if you wish to maintain the darker appearance of black limestone.

  • Use a black limestone colour-enhancing sealer
  • This will help retain a richer, darker finish
  • Sealing also provides protection against staining and moisture

Always follow manufacturer guidelines when applying sealers.

CARE & MAINTENANCE โ€“ BLACK LIMESTONE PAVING

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your limestone paving.


IMPORTANT CLEANING NOTICE

โš ๏ธ Do not use acid-based cleaners on limestone.

Limestone is sensitive to acids, and acid-based products can cause:

  • Permanent surface damage
  • Etching and discolouration
  • Loss of finish

Only use pH-neutral or specialist natural stone cleaners.


GENERAL MAINTENANCE

  • Clean regularly using water and a mild detergent or stone cleaner
  • Remove leaves, dirt, and organic debris
  • Lightly pressure wash if required (avoid excessive pressure on joints)

STAINING & PROTECTION

Limestone is less porous than sandstone but can still absorb moisture and contaminants.

  • Clean spills promptly
  • Consider sealing to reduce staining risk
  • Avoid harsh chemicals

ONGOING CARE

  • Reapply sealer as required to maintain colour and protection
  • Inspect joints periodically and maintain as needed
  • Regular upkeep will keep the paving looking its best

NATURAL VARIATION

As a natural material, limestone will vary slightly in tone and texture. Weathering over time will enhance its natural character.
