Trying to find realistic Stone Flagstones ... Anybody found realistic options?!

[Jolsand]

Basically as per title!

Unfortunately we don't have original flags as I at one point thought ...

So back to plan A - digging a channel around the perimeter of room, replastering bottom half's of walls in lime - and laying tiles that can breathe.

Looking for as close to orginal looking flagstones as possible - but the tiny square samples Ive got from online aren't that great to visualise from.

I like the look of Whitehall 'old farmhouse green' flags - but the glossy internet pics are enticing, but Hereford is a hell of a journey.

Has anybody had any success and experience and even better pixtures?!

We are a tiny mill workers cottage 1850s so think Yorkshire flagstones type would have been the original ...

Thank you for any suggestions
Jo

Those style of tiles are also called Ca Pietra (sp?) Farley Limestone tiles.

We've got around 100m2 in our house and everyone comments how nice the 'flagstones' are.

Visit their website and you'll be able to find a local stockist.

Hope that helps!

I'll pm you the details to where we got ours from!

I got some Blue lias flags for the kitchen from them about 15 years ago, and everyone thinks they real flags.
btw I put a dot in your link.

These look great exactly what I'm after - but worried they wouldn't be breathable as they are a repro??

Thanks for suggestions

Oooo - the paving on that site does like rather nice. I need some paving for the garden. They're not going to be cheap though!

Hi. We have not used these guys as we managed with what we have in the house already but we went to the place for a chat. They were very helpful and friendly and told us anything we wanted to know and showed us round. They can pretty much make what ever you want. Sizes, finishes etc. We found the price for new flag stones was actually cheaper that reclaimed ones. They are real and not made to look real. I know they are a bit far away but it's an option. https://arpurnell.co.uk/
