Laying slate paving

firstly your mad buying any paving unseen over the net. you have no idea what the quality is.

normally if its laid externally its laid with a 10mm (nominal) joint. I normalyy point it with a normal cement sand pointing mix. black dyed mortar goes grey after a very short time and looks pretty naff.
 
Mad..... Me????. Nah. :LOL:

She sourced it on the net and it is being supplied by a local firm in Reading. According to the firm their order books are full for this stuff. They do a "Patio pack" made up from various sized pieces but I have veered her away from this and got her to go for 600 X 600 for the 18 sqm she needs.

Thanks for the tip on the black pointing. The normal building sand colour appears very light and may also look Naff. Looks like a bit of experimentation is called for!

Cheers Thermo
