Aspects of Making Orders
Question 1: WHY DO I NEED TO PURCHASE AN 10% EXTRA?
Answer 1: As a rule of thumb, it is never a good idea to purchase the exact amount required to complete a job. As a contingency we advise customers to purchase an additional 10% on top of your order to allow for cuttings, cutting errors, onsite accidental damage and breakages. For Example 18.5m2 x 10% = 1.85m extra.
QUESTION 2: THE PAVING SLABS I'VE RECEIVED LOOK DIFFERENT TO MY SAMPLE?
Answer 2: Paving samples are cuts from larger natural paving slabs, and therefore only represents a small piece of something much larger. Being a natural material, each stone is unique and has its own set of natural variation in colours, textures and natural markings. The degree of colour variations and markings cannot be pre-determined prior to delivery or changed on receipt of the product.
QUESTION 3: HOW MANY SQUARE METRES DOES EACH CRATE COVER?
Answer 3: Four Edges project patio kits are purchased with 18.5m2 unlaid, unless stated otherwise. Laid with 10mm joint gaps you will get just under 19m2 coverage. Unlike some paving companies on the market we don’t charge for the gaps between paving slabs.
QUESTION 4: DO YOU SPLIT PROJECT PACKS?
Answer 4: Yes, we can split packs. There is a handling charge of £25 including VAT. This is to cover warehousing labour costs and for the materials needed for palletisation of bespoke orders.
