Start by measuring your patio or whatever area that you are paving and calculate how much paving will be required. To calculate this, simply multiply the length by the width of the proposed patio area.

For example: if your proposed area is 8-metre in length and 10-metre in width, the measurement of this space is 80 square metres. If you are purchasing paving slabs by square metres, then you will need 80 paving slabs.

Minster Tip: We recommend adding 10% to the total amount of pavers you intend to purchase, this will account for any broken slabs and any that need to be cut to fit corners etc.

While DIY installation is possible, limestone paving requires precision, proper base preparation, and correct sealing to ensure longevity and appearance. While of course, you can install your new paving yourself, we recommend professional installation to achieve the best results.

You will need hardcore, also known as type 1, for the base, as well as a mortar bed made up of sand and cement. Primer is also useful for the back of the paving; this helps the paving adhere to the mortar bed, helping to ensure no rocking paving in the future. You will also need to think about jointing compounds for the joints as a finishing touch.

Yes, you can use limestone paving for your driveway. It is an incredibly strong and durable blog paving material that can stand the weight of vehicles and has a naturally textured surface, which makes it slip-resistant when wet.

With proper installation and maintenance, limestone paving can last for decades. Its strength and weather resistance make it one of the most durable paving options available. To increase its longevity, aim to use pH-neutral cleaning products since acidic cleaners can damage limestone.

Limestone has a naturally textured surface, which provides good slip resistance. However, like any stone surface, it can become slippery in wet conditions if not treated properly. Sealing the stone and using a slip-resistant finish can help improve safety.

Before we get started, remember to only use bleach on natural stone slabs, not man-made or concrete, as bleach may cause fading.

And remember to wear gloves and protective clothing, and to keep bleach away from plants, pets, and children.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Mix the bleach solution by combining 5 parts water to 1 part bleach in a watering can.
2. Apply evenly across the patio surface, being careful not to splash on grass, flowers, soil, or yourself.
3. Use a hard-bristled brush to scrub the slabs. You should see a white foam form as the bleach activates.
4. Allow the bleach to soak for 15 minutes to break down moss, algae, and dirt.
5. Rinse thoroughly using clean water, ensuring no bleach residue remains on the surface or the surrounding garden.
6. Let the patio dry completely before placing furniture or walking on it.
