How We Grade Our Yorkstone

A1 vs. B Grade – What’s the Difference?

We offer two grades of reclaimed Yorkstone, each suited to different styles and budgets:

  • A1 Cathedral Grade Yorkstone – Our highest quality, selected for consistency of tone, smoother surface, and dressed/sawn edges. Ideal for formal designs.

  • B Grade Yorkstone – Full of rustic charm, this grade features greater variation in colour, surface texture, and edge finish. Perfect for relaxed, natural garden layouts or period properties where variation is part of the appeal.

Both options are genuine, high-quality reclaimed Yorkstone, hand-picked and processed by our expert team.

Kota Black Limestone – Wet vs. Dry Appearance

One of the most visually striking features of Kota Black Limestone is how its tone deepens when wet, creating an eye-catching transformation that enhances the stone’s bold character.

  • When Dry – The paving appears as a deep black to charcoal grey, with a naturally riven surface and occasional tonal variations that add depth and texture.
  • When Wet – The colour intensifies significantly, becoming a rich jet black with enhanced contrast between textures, making patterns and natural grains more visible.

While some homeowners enjoy the softening effect of weathering over time, others may prefer to maintain the bold wet-look appearance year-round by applying a colour-enhancing sealer that enhances the dark tones while protecting against fading

Step-by-Step Guide to Laying a Patio


Creating a beautiful and long-lasting patio requires the right materials and a solid installation process. Follow our step-by-step guide to ensure a professional finish, using high-quality paving slabs, jointing compounds, and essential finishing touches available at Bridge Street Stone.


Step 1: Plan & Prepare the Area

Before starting, decide on the size, shape, and layout of your patio. Mark out the area using string lines or spray paint and ensure there’s a slight gradient for water drainage.

You’ll Need:

Paving slabsBrowse our range of natural stone and porcelain paving
Measuring tape & string line – For accurate planning
Shovel & wheelbarrow – To clear the area


Step 2: Dig Out & Create the Sub-Base

Excavate the area to a depth of 150-200mm to allow for the base layers. Compact a 100mm layer of MOT Type 1 using a wacker plate to create a firm foundation.

You’ll Need:

MOT Type 1 hardcoreOrder high-quality sub-base material
Wacker plate or compactor – Essential for a solid foundation


Step 3: Prepare the Bedding Layer

A mortar bed is needed to hold your paving in place. Use a mix of 4 parts sharp sand to 1 part cement, adding water until it reaches a firm, workable consistency. Lay the mortar to a depth of 30-50mm across the area.

You’ll Need:

Sharp sand & cementShop high-quality materials
Mixing tools – Cement mixer or bucket and spade


Step 4: Lay the Paving Slabs

Start laying the slabs from one corner, ensuring a consistent joint gap between each. Use a rubber mallet to tap them into place and check levels with a spirit level.

Step 5: Joint & Finish the Patio

Once the mortar has set (24-48 hours), fill the joints using a high-quality jointing compound or traditional sand and cement mix. Brush the compound into the joints and lightly spray with water to activate.

You’ll Need:

Jointing compound or groutBrowse our range of easy-to-use paving grouts
Soft brush & hosepipe – To apply and set the compound

How to Look After Your Limestone Paving

Limestone is a beautiful and durable natural stone, but like all paving materials, it requires regular maintenance to keep it looking its best. With the right care, your limestone paving will age gracefully and maintain its rich colour and distinctive character for years to come.

 

Regular Cleaning & Maintenance

Sweep Frequently – Regularly remove dirt, leaves, and debris to prevent staining and organic build up.
Wash with Mild Soap & Water – Use a pH-neutral cleaner (avoid acidic products) and a soft brush to gently clean the surface.
Rinse Thoroughly – Always wash away residue to prevent streaking or dullness.

 

Preventing & Managing Fading

Limestone, particularly darker varieties like Kota Black, may naturally lighten over time due to UV exposure and weathering. To preserve its original colour, consider applying a breathable stone sealer such as Nexus Colour Enhancer, which helps lock in the depth of the stone’s natural tones.

 

Protecting Against Staining

Seal for Long-Term Protection – A high-quality limestone sealer will help repel stains and moisture while maintaining the stone’s appearance.
Wipe Away Spills Quickly – Limestone is naturally porous, so cleaning spills quickly (especially from acidic substances like wine, citrus, or vinegar) helps prevent permanent marks.

 

Removing Algae & Moss

Use a Gentle Cleaner – A specialist algae remover or diluted biocide solution can safely remove moss and algae without damaging the stone.
Avoid Harsh ChemicalsNever use acid-based cleaners or bleach, as they can erode the limestone and cause discolouration.
Encourage Drainage – Ensuring good drainage and sunlight exposure can help prevent algae build up.

 

Pressure Washing – Use With Caution

Low-Pressure Setting Only – Excessive pressure can damage the limestone’s surface or remove any protective sealant.
Test on a Small Area First – Always test in an inconspicuous spot before full-scale cleaning.
Re-Seal After Washing – If pressure washing strips away sealant, reapply a breathable sealer to maintain protection.

 

Long-Term Care & Preservation

Reapply Sealant Periodically – A good-quality sealer should be reapplied every few years, depending on weather exposure and foot traffic.
Monitor for Natural Weathering – Some light surface changes are normal and part of the natural aging process, adding character over time.

 

By following these simple care steps, your limestone paving will remain a stunning feature in your outdoor or indoor space for years to come.
