where find cheap stone flags for barn?

[Anonymous]

The builders are digging out the floor now to give me 7'6" height, and I still haven't located large stone tiles for the ground floor of my barn conversion. I need at least 80 square metres. I don't want them to be ridged, but of a polished appearance. I'm also looking at terracotta tiles, so far they seem quite expensive. I've heard of Indian slate, but they seem to have some ridges. Any ideas for a good supplier? (The floor is going to be underfloor heated.)

Where are you located?

I'm in North Yorkshire, the old West Riding. Can you give me any ideas, eg discount tiles over the internet? I need a lot of them.

Well, you're in luck then. Have a look in the classifieds of the Farmers Guardian, lots of suppliers on the Lancs/Yorks border in there at about the cheapest prices you'll find.
North West Demolition in Burnley isn't a bad place to start, there are a couple of yards near Whitworth/Rochdale that I've used that are easily £10 sq/yd cheaper than a lot of places. Watch out for ultra cheap supppliers though, it may be stolen and morally you don't want to touch them and practically, doing business with that kind of crim is never a good idea.

Sorry that should be North West Reclamation in Fence, Burnley.
Try Taylors in Shawclough near Whitworth if it's the yard I'm thinking of they have good stuff at good prices,
