Why Buy Patio Slabs by the Pallet?
If you have a complete project to finish, buying individual slabs quickly adds up. Ordering by the pallet is the most cost-effective route in the UK. Aside from saving money, it ensures your stone comes from the exact same batch. This gives you a completely consistent colour blend and uniform thickness across the whole patio surface.
- Full pallet deals starting at £390 all-in
- Consistent calibration and batch matching for easier laying
- Perfect for patio extensions, driveways, paths, and dining areas
- Extra discounts available on multi-pallet trade orders
Porcelain Patio Slabs: Modern & Maintenance-Free
Porcelain has fast become the go-to choice for modern British gardens, and it's easy to see why. Fired at incredibly high temperatures, these tiles are virtually non-porous. This means they naturally resist frost, green algae, and stubborn stains without needing any chemical sealing. Usually, a quick blast with a jet wash is all it takes to keep them pristine.
If you want to create a sense of space, our large-format 900x600mm slabs are ideal. Fewer grout lines mean a cleaner look and less weeding down the line. Check out our porcelain paving range to see popular shades like London Grey, Norfolk White, and Newcastle Black.
Indian Sandstone Patio Slabs: Natural & Timeless
For a more classic, organic look, real Indian sandstone is hard to beat. Because it is natural stone, no two slabs are identical. You get beautiful, subtle variations in tones like Kandla Grey, Mint Fossil, and Rippon Buff. These are details that manufactured alternatives simply cannot replicate.
To keep the stone looking its best and prevent moisture deep into the winter months, we highly recommend applying a quality sealer after installation. For a complete step-by-step method, see our guide on how to clean and seal Indian sandstone. Explore the full Indian sandstone range to find your perfect finish.

Installation Advice for Patio Slabs
A beautiful patio is only as good as the groundwork beneath it. No matter which material you choose, your slabs need to sit on a rock-solid foundation. We always advise laying paving on a well-compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base with a full bed of mortar. Avoid "spot bedding" (the dot-and-dab method) at all costs, because it leaves hollow gaps that crack under weight or fill with water and freeze.
- Prep with a 100–150mm sub-base of compacted MOT Type 1
- Always use a full, wet mortar bed to support the entire slab
- Leave a 3–5mm joint gap and seal with a quality jointing compound
- Incorporate a slight fall of at least 1:60 to steer rainwater away from buildings
- Note for porcelain: You must apply a priming slurry to the back of the tiles for a proper bond

Frequently Asked Questions: Cheap Patio Slabs UK
Where can I buy cheap patio slabs in the UK?
Right here at Paving and Slabs Ltd. We keep our overheads low and sell directly via full pallets, meaning you can secure high-quality paving starting from just £390 per pallet, delivered nationwide.
What is the cheapest way to buy patio slabs?
Buying by the pallet is always the most economical method. Purchasing individual slabs involves higher handling fees, whereas full pallet deals significantly drop the cost per square metre for larger garden projects.
Are cheap porcelain patio slabs good quality?
Absolutely. Our porcelain is fully vitrified, frost-resistant, and incredibly tough. The lower price point isn't a sign of poor quality; it's simply the result of bulk sourcing and an efficient direct-to-consumer delivery model.
How much do patio slabs cost per m² in the UK?
It depends on your chosen style. Generally, you can expect to pay £21–£29 per m² for porcelain, £20–£40 per m² for natural Indian sandstone, and £22–£45 per m² for classic limestone. Clearance batches can drop as low as £10 per m².
Do patio slabs need sealing?
Porcelain slabs don't require sealing because they don't absorb water. However, natural stones like limestone and Indian sandstone should be sealed after installation to preserve their original colours and protect them from winter frost damage.
Do you deliver patio slabs across the UK?
Yes, we provide nationwide delivery across England, Scotland, and Wales. We use specialized tail-lift pallet vehicles to make sure your stone arrives intact and is placed as close to your project site as safely possible.
