Why Granite Paving Prices Vary

Granite is not priced only according to square metres. Two products made from granite may have very different production, handling and shipping costs.

The main price factors include:

  • Granite colour and quarry source.
  • Slab or sett thickness.
  • Product dimensions.
  • Flamed, bush-hammered, tumbled or cropped finishing.
  • Colour-selection and grading requirements.
  • Precision cutting and edge finishing.
  • Stone weight and container capacity.
  • Packaging and breakage protection.
  • Current UK stock and overseas replacement cost.

Silver Grey Granite Prices

Silver Grey granite paving is generally the most competitively priced part of the PSU granite range. It is widely produced, works with many UK garden styles and is available in several common formats.

In July 2026, selected Silver Grey products started from the mid-£20s per square metre. Linear planks and patio packs began slightly below some standard slab formats, while thicker 25 mm products cost more.

Silver Grey is normally the best starting point when customers want genuine granite paving while controlling the material budget.

Blue Grey Granite Prices

Blue Grey granite paving generally costs more than Silver Grey. Its darker grey to blue-black colour creates a stronger contemporary appearance and is particularly effective around rendered walls, modern extensions and formal landscapes.

The exact price depends on slab size, thickness, finish and product availability. Buyers should also check whether matching setts, steps or edging are required before ordering the main paving.

Absolute Black Granite Prices

Absolute Black granite paving occupies the premium end of the range. The deeper colour, stone selection and architectural appearance result in a higher price than standard Silver Grey granite.

Absolute Black is normally selected for high-contrast patios, entrances, terraces and projects where the colour is a major design feature. It can also be used selectively as a border or feature area when the budget does not allow it across the entire patio.

Why Granite Setts Cost More Than Patio Slabs

Granite setts are usually thicker and heavier per square metre than standard patio slabs. They also require additional cutting, cropping, flaming or tumbling, depending on the product.

Setts are commonly used for:

  • Driveways.
  • Driveway aprons.
  • Patio borders.
  • Path edging.
  • Entrance areas.
  • Traditional courtyard layouts.

Granite setts intended for regular vehicle areas are commonly 50 mm or thicker. Their additional stone volume and manufacturing work explain much of the price difference between setts and 20 mm patio slabs.

Why Steps, Kerbs and Coping Cost More Per Piece

Steps, kerbs and coping stones use thicker pieces of granite and require more cutting and edge finishing than ordinary patio slabs. Their exposed edges must also be visually consistent and securely packed for transport.

A bullnose step or coping stone should not be compared directly with the square-metre price of a patio slab. It performs a different structural and finishing role within the project.

Where a project requires matching products, check the availability of granite steps, coping and edging before ordering the main paving. Matching specialist pieces can be more difficult to source later.

How PSU’s Supply Structure Affects Granite Prices

Paving Slabs UK is supplied directly through its overseas parent-company network, Westone, which operates and controls granite quarrying and production. This reduces reliance on multiple traders, agents and distribution layers between the quarry and the UK customer.

The direct supply structure provides several practical advantages:

  • Closer control over stone selection and factory processing.
  • More consistent product specifications.
  • Direct communication between the UK business and overseas production.
  • Container-scale purchasing rather than small wholesale quantities.
  • Reduced dependence on external UK importers.
  • UK-held stock for many standard granite products.
  • Access to matching slabs, setts, steps, kerbs and coping stones.

Direct supply does not remove quarrying, production, shipping, duty, VAT, warehousing or delivery costs. It reduces unnecessary intermediary layers and helps PSU maintain competitive prices while retaining control over the products being supplied.

Are PSU Granite Prices Inclusive of VAT and Delivery?

Prices displayed by Paving Slabs UK include VAT. Standard delivery is also included for most UK locations under the applicable delivery terms. Some remote or difficult-access postcodes may require an additional charge.

Customers should review the VAT-inclusive pricing information and delivery terms when comparing PSU prices with suppliers that add VAT or delivery later.

How to Compare Granite Paving Prices Properly

Do not compare products using the headline square-metre price alone. Check:

  • Whether VAT is included.
  • Whether delivery is included.
  • The actual slab thickness.
  • The usable coverage of the pack.
  • The surface finish.
  • The colour and grading.
  • Whether the product is in UK stock.
  • Whether steps, setts and edging are available.
  • Whether the product is suitable for the intended application.

A lower headline price may not remain lower after VAT, delivery, missing components or unsuitable specifications are considered.

How to Control the Granite Material Budget

  • Choose Silver Grey granite where value is the main priority.
  • Select slab dimensions that minimise unnecessary cutting.
  • Use premium dark granite as a feature or border where appropriate.
  • Confirm the complete quantity before ordering.
  • Allow for cutting, breakage and future replacements.
  • Order matching steps, setts and kerbs with the main paving where possible.
  • Check live prices and stock before issuing a customer quotation.
