Block Paving - Discontinued and Desperately Needed!

[mark-essex]

I'm in the process of extending my garden patio and have just found out that a block I have used is no longer in production.

The block size is 50mm x 50mm x 60mm deep (used as a filler in a pattern with regular 200mm x 100mm blocks), is charcoal on colour and was manufactured by Marley and the pattern was known as 'Victorian Weave'.

I need approx. 150, does anybody have any idea where I can find any?

Yours desperate!

why not subsitute it with the top pave one? As an alternative if you are really desperate you could make them from normal size blocks with a disc cutter. Youd need to make up a jig to hold them so its accurate and safe but it could be done. Alternativley you could infill them with dyed mortar

Because unfortunately, Top Pave show it in their catalogue but it's not available...the picture is showing the kerbstone range. Go figure!

I will keep searching, but the easiest option to me at the moment seems to be to introduce a stone circle into my pattern and complete the edges with the 50 or so small blocks I have as spare from the original job.

If anyone knows of any though, please let me know...I won't be taking an alternative route for a week or two.

Thanks for input so far.

in that case id would do it in coloured mortar, you should be able to match it very easily with a bit of patience
