There's this one. Is this the style of heater you mean as I've seen a fire Pit? Could you also upload the images as you may be able to do a google reverse search for the image http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Victorian-Style-Outdoor-Gardens-Patio-Gas-Heater-Warmer-Flame-Safeguard-System-/142088620684

Have you chosen your indoor tiles yet? There are a few tiles on the market these days that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor. If you have chosen your indoor tiles, would they also be the right colour for outside, and what is their 'cleanability' / longevity for not gathering moss etc ? I think for me, hardwood decking would suit the house as would big slabs.So it's down to personal choice. Smaller slabs may look a little dwarfed outside with such a good size of garden. Slabs will look great sat on top of brick steps. Can I see the outside there being clad in timber due to all the horizontal lines on the plan? If so, then decking would not be my first choice as it would potentially clash with the cladding. You may also end up looking like you have a great big wooden log cabin with the cladding and decking. So, I think for a traditional look, to tie in with the style of house, it would be large slabs on brick to match those in the house already.

Sawn or riven Indian stone for patio?
Q

We have cheap pale grey riven laid in a contemporary style which looks great. No problem with algae or flaking. It is also more allowing for the usual garden dirt due to its texture. The sawn looks lovely if you are really careful about keeping it clean. The riven somehow looks a little less austere - good for us as it looks neat but is forgiving when it comes to dog paw prints, foot prints etc....

If you are only dealing with a small level of dirt the most cost-effective and natural method we would suggest is using white vinegar. This is a popular solution as it is very eco-friendly and avoids the use of chemicals. The quickest way to clean your patio is to use a power washer. This is a quick-fix option however caution is advised when using this method, as the water pressure could possibly damage your patio/paving. Alternatively, you can use professional cleaning products that can assist you in cleaning your pavement patio. For general cleaning you can use Stontex All in One Outdoor Cleaner 5L. This high-performance cleaner that is the first port of call for general cleaning of your patio. It is best suited to natural stone paving, concrete driveways and paths as well as decking and wooden garden furniture. For removing grout you can use Stontex Cement Away 5L. For removing serious dirt and grime you can use Stontex Heavy Duty Grime Remover. For mould and heavy grime you can use Stontex Black Spot Remover 5L. Read Our Top Tips On How To Clean Your Natural Stone Patio & Outdoor Tiles here. Below is an example of limestone slabs cleaned with "Black Spot Remover" (Stontex).
