Description
Reclaimed coursed paving evokes the feel of the traditional English country garden, ideal for listed properties when the genuine product is important to maintain the character and feel of the property. These Reclaimed Yorkstone slabs have been worn over centuries of use, creating a look that just cannot be replicated by more modern materials.
All our slabs are Grade A and have a riven and uneven textured surface, if you require a perfectly smooth surface its worth considering New Aged Yorkstone or Cathedral Grade Reclaimed Yorkstone that is available on request.
Coursed Yorkstone is supplied in a range of squares and rectangles that are approximately 24 inches wide, making them suitable to be laid in the more modern coursed design.
Width of slabs can vary and some selection before installation maybe needed.
We take great care when sourcing our reclaimed Yorkstone Grade-A paving, to ensure that our clients receive the best-possible quality. For example, unlike other suppliers, we do not stock reclaimed flags from former mills or industrial premises because they are often of inferior appearance due to contamination. Instead, most of our reclaimed Yorkshire paving comes from residential properties and outdoor locations.
Supplied per pallet with approximately 10-12 sqm per pallet.
Do not use acidic cleaners on natural stone as they can cause permanent, irreparable, damage to the colour and structure of the stone.

Please note the shade of the final product could differ slightly compared to the sample you may receive due to slight batch variation. You must ensure that you are happy with the colour variation of the product you have received before you start laying, as after installation exchange will no longer be possible.
Ensure that you have all the required material to completely the whole project onsite before commencing any work. Open all your crates at the same time, taking material evenly from each of them. This will ensure you have a good distribution of colours across the whole paved area. DO NOT open one crate at a time using all the material before opening the next, this can result in uneven distribution of colours and can look unsightly.
We recommend that all customers read our product selection, maintenance & installation guides before purchasing.
Do not use acidic cleaners on natural stone as they can cause permanent, irreparable, damage to the colour and structure of the stone.

What Is Yorkstone Paving?
Yorkstone paving, also known as York stone, is a variety of sandstone, that comes from numerous quarries throughout Yorkshire in the UK. This material has been used for flooring and paving since medieval times and is one of the most prestigious paving options on the market with a price tag to match. It is generally quarried a lot thicker than its imported counterparts which add to the life expectancy of these slabs, which can be many hundreds of years.
How To Point Yorkstone Paving?
There are a few options when it comes to pointing Yorkstone paving. The traditional way of using sand and cement mortar is still very popular and comprises mixing the sand and cement in a 4 to 1 ratio. This is then mixed to a wet but workable consistency, which is then pressed into the joints using a pointing trowel or Iron. This method is very time consuming and expensive due to the labour costs involved, which has resulted in alternative products for easier installation being developed.
A very good alternative to the traditional method is Flowpoint, which is a cement-based product used mainly by the civil engineering industry but is a far quicker method and offers superior frost resistance to mortar pointing. This product is mixed into a slurry and then poured into the joints, it then hardens within ten minutes and the excess can then be brushed and hosed off. We recommend this product is used only by professional trades people as mistakes are very hard to rectify if used incorrectly.
We would recommend staying away from resin based products for such high end installations. You need the quality finish to match the quality paving material being used.
How To Clean Yorkstone Paving?
Cleaning Yorkstone paving is simple and basically the same as any other natural stone. Use soapy water and a stiff brush or, for tougher stains as well as moss and algae, we recommend using New Clean 60 available from our website. Apply and leave on for around 60 minutes then wash off with a stiff brush or power washer to ensure you have removed all of the cleaner. For further reading please follow the link to our tech guide
How To Lay Yorkstone Paving?
Very basically all Yorkstone paving should be laid on a full wet bed of mortar over a compacted hardcore or concrete base, deep enough for the site conditions. We have a great deal more information available on our natural stone paving installation guide that can be found at the link below:
Due to the thickness of Yorkstone paving, it is quite common to see this type of paving laid on sand or grit, with only the edges of the paving concreted into place. This is only a suitable method of installation if there is no chance of movement within the sub-base and surrounding features.
Will My Purchased Products Match The Sample?
We always send a representative sample from the current batch of tiles or paving we have in stock, so as long as you requested a sample close to the time of purchasing, this will help to ensure the tiles and paving you receive matches the sample you have been sent as closely as possible.
All of our products are either natural or porcelain and therefore there is always scope for variation in shade, colour and to some extent the texture and finish with the natural products and with porcelain there will always be some slight colour variation between different batches, although the surface texture and finish will remain largely the same.
We would strongly recommend that you visit one of our showrooms or paving displays to look at the current selection, so you can be entirely sure of what you will receive.
Do I Need To Seal My Patio?
Yes, we recommend you seal all sandstone and natural stone paving upon (or shortly after) installation, to ensure it stays looking at it’s best for longest. Sealing will help make it resilient to staining and increases it’s longevity. We recommend Universeal Hydroseal or for an enhanced look Universeal Ultimate Stone Enhancer

We have fork-lift trucks for loading onto suitable vehicles at all sites, and staff are always available to help with loading of smaller items.
