Ah I get it… I live in a row of terraced houses and it’s a path that runs across the back of all of the houses so would look stupid if I change my section

If you mean the pile of slabs in the first pic… I got rid of them because I have no storage and won’t need them in the future

I’m confused. I’m not sure what you mean? The slabs are on a mortar bed?

You mean the ones that went in the skip?

Sand and cement with some black mortar tone to make it darker grey

How do I sort that without taking it apart?

Thanks to everyone who gave me help and advice over the past few months Here’s the end result Maybe not perfect from a professionals standpoint but happy to have got this over the line

Hi, I want to fill in these gaps to make it look presentable from the front I was thinking of possibly using some decking boards I also have some left over slabs that I can cut to width and sort of ‘box in’ across the front of the shed what would you experts do ?

Not sure on wool or synthetic? Just a bit standard carpet As in washing liquid and warm water? I’ll give it a try

Oh yes that may help

Anyone know the best way to get rid of this carpet stain? Don’t know what’s caused it ‍♂️ I am going to hire a carpet cleaner but want to sort this out first Cheers

I have decided to use standard mortar mix for pointing my patio purely from a cost point of view I’m adding some everbuild mortar tone to the mix to give it a bit of colour Is it best to use building sand at a ratio of 3:1 sand:cement (with a bit of mortar tone)? Or sharp sand? Am I correct...

I’m laying my patio on mortar bed: 4 buckets sharp sand to 1 bucket cement 1. How much water should I add to this mix? (As a rough guide) 2. How much plasticiser should I add to the above water? Cheers

Probably yes. Do you really have enough time on your hands to go back checking what people ask in previous threads ? Thanks anyway It’s my first time laying Indian stone and a project like this

Cheers. So in this case would you move the big slab to the right by a few mm (not ideal) or move the 600x600 slab left slightly to reduce gap between the 300x300 and 600x600?

Just doing a dry lay of Indian stone before putting on the mortar bed, starting tomorrow The issue i have is with the size of the grout gap alongside the large slab (bottom left) It’s as if the 600mmx600mm slab above it is slightly too wide. What to do in this situation? Do I install it on a...

I have an old 5l container of mortar plasticiser hanging about (approx 1-2 years ‘out of date’) Will this be ok to use to add to my patio mortar bed … I mean, it’s not like chicken….?

Cheers for reply I was going to use a 4:1 or 5:1 sharp sand:cement mix / would this be ok? It will seem quite excessive to buy a tonne bag building sand and not use so much Cheers

As in dry lay the whole patio or just a few slabs?
