Somebody local to us is having a new patio done and has about 50m2 indian sandstone to lift and dispose of. I am planning to use the lot for a raised patio in my garden, but many of them are coming up with a thick layer of cement and sub base stuck to them. Removing this seems like it would be an utter nightmare. Providing they are thoroughly cleaned, is there any reason I couldn't bed them as is onto fresh sub base and cement?

Re-using slabs with old cement on them

May be worth taking a bolster chisel to one if you can as the mortar may well come off easier than you think. Failing that, then yes, it is possible to bed them as they are found but would be much more work getting them set and to a level, etc...
