I'd think it's come away from the bedding.. I used pva in the mix when I laid slate paving in a wet mortar Hopefully it's just a bit of poor bonding so a re-bed should sort them.

No problem planning wise. Just lay a path and put a slight fall so it drains to lawn. A nice slab would be fine, and clean so your floor should be ok

Get some araldite type epoxy, so you can mix it, then add some fine sand or grit similar colour to slab. Even crush some stone into fine dust. Apply and that's about it really. Its a bodge but will work. Or just use as is with no sand

You can try an epoxy resin, but its a unstable surface so anything you try will be temporary

Probably not, i came across this many times in my professional paving career. Plastic shed on this will not work if its one of these thati put up at work. The base needs to be perfect to build it.

Box air brick in with a edging about a foot from the house. You can sheet and lay shingle at lower level, so it drains below A-brick Slab the path, leave a gap at the house, 75-100mm so its away from wall, you can run gravel in the gap. Sheet and gravel old lawn mud area, have a beer

You can use longer concrete slotted posts 10 ft and concrete graval (boards) to make up the soil deapth. Be a sight easier too and cheeper, neater

Be ok but they will be slabs on sand, so a basic diy job. Easy to relay again in a year or 3

Its for gravel.. Not permiable paving, it will move more with shingle topping.

Bit confused.. By permeable you mean Allows water to pass through.. Mot type 1 is frost prof so doesnt absorb water but will allow water to pass through to the sub base. Type one limestone is similar but type one is just better. Best base is type 1 mot granite for a shingle drive. If your...

Its frosted, shaled off. Not a lot you can do really, you could move that slad to a corner and put a good one back

Seriously, that's a super garden, as above, all

So would i,but it could go high for access. Couple of mm off the wall, but it's not like high paving ect..which will hold damp and cause problems

Pressure test is the easy way to check for a leak

Sorry mixed this up with other thread.

From a contractor point of view, i hate the fekin stuff. Trying to get it off when repairing and relaying is a pita. That said go for a low shine or matt look, gloss just looks like shiny concrete to me

Hi ,im talking slate as in a bag of welsh slate.?

You got monkeys, sorry but there's loads who simply cant lay mortar bed paving.

Aggregate changes from area to area. It does sound like they sent a ballast or a topping off blinding type small grade hardcore by mistake

Slate comes in bulk bags. So shop around ,its about £80 a bag from a good local independent. Somewhere like wicks B&Q will be £120 give or take. You will need 2 bags to do 16 m2. Sheet with "Typar pro" or similar to stop rooting weeds 30-50 quid Diy and save a fortune,its quite easy. Oh and...
