Coping FAQs

How many coping slabs do I need?

Each slab covers 0.8 m of wall. Divide your length in metres by 0.8 and round up. Our calculator does this for you and adds 10% for cuts and breakages. Example: 18.5 m ÷ 0.8 = 23.1, plus 10% = 25.4, so order 26 slabs.

Does the 0.8 m allow for mortar joints?

No. We keep it simple and count 0.8 m per slab. Joints of around 10 mm add a little length per slab, which works in your favour, and the 10% allowance covers corner and end cuts.

Why add 10%?

Coping is cut at corners, piers and ends, and natural stone can break in handling. Ordering 10% extra means you finish the job in one go and the spares match. You can untick it if you have measured exactly.

Can I order sealed coping by the crate?

Crates come unsealed. For a sealed crate price, call 01908 46 46 56.
