Ignore the price, its Travis pizz take price. All builders merchants sell these, not garden centres These are standard slabs https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/commercial-paving-slabs-and-kerbs/marshalls-bss-pressed-concrete-slab-natural-450mm-x-450mm-x-50mm/p/809365

Your first pic is as said slabs laid upside down, water mould paper indentation. Second pic is correct way up. These are by the looks of it standard pressed grey paving. 450x450x40 or 50 mm, some seem to be 450x600?

You need to allow that to get away..

Mortar would be best. Mix damp "not wet" squeeze in your hand so it makes a firm ball and press in with a piece of thin wood ect, finish with a pointing iron, so it looks like brickwork.

Marshalls register is nothing to be assured by. Its a pay us and we recommend you... Dont use a company unless their vat registered and can supply names addresses for you to visit. Good luck

They need to be on mortar, not a screed. If you have bounce in the block and beam, I'm not sure a sand cement mix will stop it. Geofix for joints or maybe fine grit joint

Ignoring all the whys and what ifs... Id cover that with some cladding, like the roof line type, easy clean and neat. Or a nice little stub wall, planter ect

As already suggested , Reciprocating saw, simply cut down the post. One like this, comes with 3 blades so wood and metal. Brilliant things, good for all types of diy jobs. Worth the 40 quid...

These slabs look like Slate If they are he should have added PVA to the mix as they dont bond well to just mortar. You're doing the right thing

Id tell him to collect his materials or pay him for them. Get it re done. Tell him you're informing the police and trading standards etc Typical cowboy builder. Tossers

Sounds like your professional was in name only. I'm guessing dry bed and probably sanded joints or a very poor mix. These sandstone slabs need a wet bed of mortar and ideally a wet pointed joint. Some use geofix pointing which is fine if done properly as it avoids any mess. I think you know...

Clear, its where the water goes

Building sand 4/1 mix for pointing. You’ll make a mess with postcrete, plus its full of pebles that wont go into the joints. Unless its a big joint, that a post will go into

Not gas, I'd see if you can find the start point at your house.

Where does all the water go? No drains and the falls seem to be all wrong and to all the walls. And now you have removed the drain area which has a back fall. Good luck with it

No need for an edge, ypu have one with the tarmac.. Just remove a bit of spoil at the tarmac, 50 60 mm so you get a bit of depth Use 25mm granite for the gravel as that knits together and doesn't flirt all over. Or type one MOT. Even better That will compact very firm.

You can simply lay them on some course sand. Just a thin screed to level or hand lay each one if your confidence is upto that. They will be ok for a small shed. Or get some treatd 4x2 timber and level those on the uneven slabs..

I think ive sussed it.. Lol

You could use adjustable feet for the base, and they sit on plastic grids.. Set into the hardcore, or gravel.. Google this, save a few quid As for concrete, 100mm on a 75 mm hardcore base will be plenty

A bulk bag of ballast holds about 9 good barrow loads so work on that, bag usually weighs about. 0.9 of a ton You might only need one or 2 max. If your screeding the slab bed you can still get your screed pole set if the ballast is a bit high. With stone its a bugger. Ps, you only need...
