FAQs
Do You Offer an Installation Service for Your Range of Porcelain Slabs?
We don't offer an installation service for porcelain slabs. However, if you require a landscaper or garden designer, our Landscape Specialist Scheme may be of use.
Before committing to a landscaper, you should ensure that the person you choose is right for your design project. It's worth asking your proposed tradesperson if you can view a portfolio of similar works - we also recommend getting several quotations before making a commitment.
More information about installing our outdoor tiles can be found on our Installation FAQ page.
