More updates please. Particularly like the pretty pictures. :)
 
It's cool bud. Been quoted £162 for 4.5 ton type1 delivered loose.
How's that price sound ?

Also been told I need white sand and cement for these slabs as there granite and the orange sand will stain through or something.

Not a lot to go on TBH. Are the slabs a fixed size? Maybe a straight overlap and cut off the taper?

Sorry M8, missed that! TBH, I'd just do what I always do, lay 'em out dry and when you're happy with the arrangement mark them in order. I always do that with natural stone because the colour varies etc.
 
Scrap that.

Decided to go for 800 x 200 slabs :) makes my life easier lol
With jet black easyjoint for grouting :)

Anyone know how much the type1 compacts ? I need 10cm bed so how deep do I need to lay it before whacking.

Half way there. Cutting the granite is time consuming. Grinder does not like it at all even with a diamond disk on it.

Must say huge thank you to neorage for his help
