I'm just about to lay a new patio. The house builders laid the old flags on
sand with a layer containing cement under the flags. Is this an OK method?
If so what sort of depths should I lay the sand to on the new sections of
patio? What mixture of sand/cement should I use?

Take a look at the excellent site of A.J.McCormack & Son. Just about
everything you could ever want to know about paving.
