See Full DescriptionThere are many period and traditionally styled homes, properties and gardens in Britain that require congruous and compatible traditional “antique” paving in keeping with their aesthetic. Rectory limestone paving offers you an antique flagstone appearance in decorative concrete. They have been have been specifically designed to offer an authentic reproduction of weathered and worn antique limestone paving flags from a bygone era.
With its buff colouring and realistic light textured surface for a time-worn look, this range emulates the characteristics of traditional Cotswold limestone flag that were being more widely manufactured and used from the beginning of the industrial revolution. The distinctive worn antique appearance and shades complement many period properties and are perfect for use in any traditional British garden setting.
Finding aged and weathered flagstone paving can be time-consuming and very costly. Rectory Limestone flagstones provide you with exactly what you are looking for - with the right colouring, weathering and visual characteristics of well-worn and aged antique paving. This predictability and specificity in the aesthetic properties mean your project is going to save an awful lot of time and money getting what you know will work.
Rectory Limestone paving has tapered and rounded edges emulating antique paving. It has a simulated smoothed surface with characteristic limestone orange peel patterning and pitted finish to capture the aesthetic of ageing and weathering.
Reclaimed flagstones can, and often do, look spot on. But, if you don’t have enough of them or they are from multiple sources and don’t quite match, you could run into difficulties. This is exactly the sort of project Rectory Limestone was designed to solve. Its consistent and scaleable look and feel (in the volumes you might need), means days saved trying to source and match materials. As well as helping save money when sourcing materials, Rectory Limestone is competitively priced too, so you’ll be saving on two counts by choosing them.
Rectory Limestone is available in four flagstone size formats and comes in a mixed-size project pack:

Concrete flags are not fully cured when you install them. The curing process can take many years to complete. Therefore, there are a few precautionary steps you need to take to ensure that differential curing (varying rates of curing) are avoided. Most of these step involve ensuring that water, moisture and damp are not adversely effecting the slabs.
By taking these steps, you can help avoid some of the potential causes of differential curing/weathering with concrete flags.
To install and lay concrete patio paving slabs, you'll need to do the following steps:
To calculate the areas of paving in square-metres (m2), the amount of sub-base hardcore or the amount of sand and cement you'll need for the mortar mix bedding course, please refer to our paving calculators.
For the full step-by-step guide with videos for each step, see our How to Lay Patio Paving Slabs article.
Concrete is a porous material and contains tiny capillaries and micro-fissures throughout its structure. Consequently, concrete paving is susceptible to water-based chemical erosion (acidic corrosion), physical erosion (frost action), and from staining from waterborne grime, salts and other mineral and particulate deposits. Therefore, as the UK has high winter humidity (generally 80-90%) and damp conditions are the norm, we recommend that you help protect and elongate the life of your paving by sealing the slabs against the water/damp based issues. Our impregnating sealers are designed to enter the capillaries and micro-fissures in the slabs, blocking those spaces to prevent water entering the paving.
In addition to sealing the slabs, we recommend ensuring you brush away leaves, dirt and other detritus regularly, especially in the autumn and winter when leaves, twigs, seeds and other windfall materials are likely to fall on your patio. If left on your paving, especially if damp, and worse still, allowed to rot down and become mulch-like, your paving will almost certainly acquire brown stains from the release of tannins from the windfall materials (think a used tea bag left on a kitchen counter for a model of what will happen).
As well as brushing off dirt and windfall materials, give your patio a hose down with water every so often. Use a low-pressure hose or keep any jet-wash far enough away from the slabs to ensure you don't damage them with the high-pressure water jet. For more stubborn stains and the build-up of grime, we recommend using a specialist non-acidic patio cleaner.
