Anyone got a recommendation for cheap but good quality source of slate
floor tiles for a conservatory floor? Approx 12m2 required.

Of course I'll do the normal google/yellow pages trawl but if anyone has
any pointers I would be grateful.

TIA,

Alex.

There's no such thing, unfortunately. Introduce the word "relatively".

Wickes do them - seem pretty cheap to me - no idea about the quality though.
Anyone got any experience of these ones? ...was planning on using them
myself.

I bought a single pack not long ago specifically to tile an external
doorstep. I've never done any slate tiling before so it's hard for me
to judge, but well, slate is slate and they seemed fine to me, even if
my technique wasn't :-(

Nicholls and Clarke. They may also trade as Nicobond. Try www.ncdirect.co.uk

They do various different slates, I used a rustic chinese slate ( everything
comes
from there now doesn't it?!!! ) which I believe goes by the name of Harvest
Time,
something like £14 per sq.yd. I think they deliver if you want that.

Checked out Wickes ... about £16 per m2 for the record.

Thickness seemed more variable than I expected and I have not yet
compared to other samples etc for relative quality.

Cheers,

Alex.

It's worth going to a showroom if you can. They often have special
deals and not all they sell is very expensive, although some is.

I would definitely get some sample pieces and lay them down and look
for a few days.

The other thing is to decide on tile size. Larger ones are more
expensive per unit area normally, but can make a room look larger.
