What is an average Cost of flagstone?

Well i always find flag stones can vary in price but being a stone mason myself i could give you a resonably good price and i have workshops all over the country.

I would say in my experience they can cost anything from £10 to £100 pounds however for more exquisit stone prices can be higher that i have previously  stated.

the price also depends of the thickness of the stone too and of corse how big you would like it to be. I find that 50 mm flag stones often cost around abouts £20.

I must advise you though not to be drawn in to the many scheming cowboys that there are on the flag stone market today. i leave you with one piece of advice. ALWAYS do your homework about who you want to by flag stones off.

i hope this account has helped you
