Slab buying Advice.

[JD2012]

I was out in my garden and noticed one of the slabs on my footpath around the lawn was loose. There was some weeds etc underneath. When i had dealt with all that I put it back level. When I was standing on it it cracked down the middle lol.

It was not a proper slab but poured concrete I think and very old. I would need to get a custom one from a builders merchants I think.

Its just one slab. I just wanted an idea how much this would all cost. I would also need it delivered since I do not drive.

Its dimensions are L 62cm W 45cm D 6cm.

Thanks funny question I know lol.

£3-5. Depends on the type.

You would get a thinner slab and build the base up with sand or soil.

If you were happy with the old one being poured concrete, cast a new one out of concrete?

How badly is it cracked? In half or in bits? It may sound a bit bodgy but you might struggle to find a matching style and size so you could just reset it on a decent mortar bed and it'll likely hold together - you can get a bag of ready mixed just add water from bandq etc. Find someone with a car to collect it.
