Hi all, I'm a newbee on this site so might as well start by bending a few ears.
I'm an expat from London I live in sunny Cyprus although not sunny all year round. And when it rains, it rains, unlike anything I ever saw in the UK.
The point is that I have a grey slate patio at one end of the pool under which is my workshop. When it rains I get water leaking down the wall onto the electrics which is never a good idea but is lost on these guys.
The builders (Ha!!) didn't install a damp proof membrane when they laid the patio so I now have to dig it up and find some way of making the whole thing waterproof. I do not want to disturb the coping stones to the pool but can dig down past them to a depth of about 10cms. Ideally I would like to buy something that can be poured onto the ground and find it's own level and waterproof everything it touches before re laying the crazy paving. The area to be done is about 2m x 10m.
One idea I'm toying with is to grind a groove at the bottom of the coping stones and insert some kind of roofing felt then seal it with a torch. Not sure if this is the best way but am hoping you guys may advise.
Many thanks in advance,
Nosher
