Sloane Square Yorkstone Flagstones Reclaimed 50mm

These Yorkstone Flagstones from London’s Sloane Square offer a rare opportunity to install genuine heritage beneath your feet. These exceptional stones were carefully recovered during the recent redevelopment of Sloane Square in 2024 and 2025. As a result, they combine authentic historic character with unusually precise modern preparation and cutting standards.

Sloane Square has long formed a cultural and architectural gateway to Chelsea and Belgravia. It takes its name from Sir Hans Sloane, whose estate shaped much of eighteenth century west London. Over centuries, the square evolved into a major transport hub and social meeting point. Consequently, its paving experienced constant footfall, weather exposure, and rigours of urban life.

The latest redevelopment focused on improved pedestrian flow, public realm upgrades, and infrastructure renewal. During these works, contractors lifted original Yorkstone paving rather than discarding it. Therefore, Sloane Square Yorkstone Flagstones were responsibly reclaimed for reuse rather than lost forever.

Unlike most reclaimed Yorkstone paving, these flagstones feature all six sides fully cut. Each piece measures a consistent 50mm thickness, which simplifies installation and ensures accurate jointing. Installers save time, while finished surfaces achieve a crisp, professional appearance.

However, the stones retain varied plan sizes, preserving visual rhythm across patios, paths, or driveways. This variation creates natural movement underfoot, unlike repetitive concrete slabs. Sloane Square Yorkstone Flagstones therefore balance precision with authentic material expression. Used indoors or out, the smooth surface on these flagstones is to be appreciated.

Unique Weathering

Years of service have created a distinctive surface patina. Darker tones reveal environmental discolouration, while edges show gentle rounding from sustained foot traffic. In places, rainfall wear marks appear where water once poured from historic gutters. Occasionally, you may even spot a trace of old chewing gum!

Importantly, this patina is impossible to replicate with new stone. It tells a genuine urban story and adds immediate depth to outdoor spaces. Sloane Square Yorkstone Flagstones bring that story directly into private settings.

Reclaimed paving also offers clear environmental benefits. It reduces quarrying demand, lowers embodied carbon, and extends the lifespan of natural materials. Moreover, Yorkstone remains exceptionally durable and performs beautifully in the British climate.

For interiors, patios, driveways, and garden paths, Sloane Square Yorkstone Flagstones deliver individuality, quality, and proven longevity.
