The hand-cut edges of Midnight Black Limestone Setts give a crafted feel to paved areas such as driveways and paths. Extremely versatile, sandstone setts laid as a border or in patterns within a paved area offer the opportunity to add a very personal touch. We recommend that all customers read our product & installation guides and view our colour variation boards before buying.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate, often formed from the remains of marine organisms. It is relatively durable and weather-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

Receiving Your Delivery
Materials with sawn edges can contain small chips to the corners, edges or on the back of the slab. This is an unavoidable result of the production, handling and transportation process and is not considered a defect. Most small chips are not visible or unnoticeable after the stone has been installed and pointed. On arrival, sawn stones can also display residual moisture and may need cleaning and drying before installation or pre-sealing.

Dimensional Tolerance
London Stone recommends ordering an additional 10% to allow for wastage, cuts, and the occasional piece which you may not like the look of. London Stone will not refund, or exchange stone based on variation in colour, texture, natural characteristics, or small chips.
Distribution of Slabs
It is advisable to sort through all crates on arrival so that colour variation can be distributed evenly throughout the paved area. At this point, any slabs with heavier chipping, colour variation or markings can be set aside to be used as cuts or wastage.

Installation Ancillaries Calculator
Use our handy, in-page, calculator to find out how much pointing product you require to install your paving.
The calculator automatically updates with the required amount based on the quantity of paving you have inserted in the spec-chart.
Simply tick the ‘add to order’ boxes and then the ‘add to basket’ button to purchase.
Please note, the calculator provides accurate figures based on our recommended installation method. On-site variables can lead to more/less material being used.
If you would like a different colour grout with your paving, we recommend adding the recommended quantity to basket from the pointing product page, as the in-page calculator only allows you to add our recommended colour to basket.
