Bump anyone

Need to repoint a valley roof, I've removed all the loose mortar but there is some mortar that isn't budging which is stuck to the tiles that I want to avoid breaking. The tiles are no longer manufacturered and the closest match will look out of place with the difference in colour What tool...

@phatboy @sxturbo The sand was in 2 25kg sealed bags, labelled black and had no batch numbers. And no mention in the instructions of mixing bags etc Surprised that there were no batch numbers, where's the quality control? Appreciate there would be variations in colour but not to this extent...

Has anyone used the 2 part nexus v75 jointing compound in black? The product came with 25kg black sand plus the resin and hardner, for our area we required 2 The packaging on the sand states that there will be slight colour variations as its a natural product The instructions were followed by...

Struggling to find it locally and most merchants inc the one you mentioned are only offering local delivery. From what I've read geofix, sika, Easyjoint etc are polymeric compounds whereas the 2 compound resin mixes like resiply are stronger

looks like a good product, where did you purchase it? from?

Thanks

Double checked measurements, its less than an inch! its approx 10mm on all 4 sides, is this sufficient?

I've purchased a recessed manhole cover, placed the undertray of the manhole cover over the opening but on all 4 sides the cover doesnt fully sit on the bricks, the cover only sits on the bricks by approx half an inch or so I'm guessing this will not be adequate enough to secure? What are the...

Has any one used easyjoint for grouting paving slabs? If so would you recommend this product? or something else? Or should i stick with traditional sand/cement mix? To be used on 450x450 textured slabs Cheers

Would you recommend a 6:1 or 10:1 mix? Also the 'dry' mix of sharp sand and cement is any water to be added whatsoever? I've got plenty of hardcore/rubble so will be laying that down then wacker plate it followed by the weed membrane and then lay the bed of sharp sand/cement for the slabs

Bump, can anyone kindly advise?

In the coming days I'll be laying riven slabs 600x600 on a dry sub base mix of 6:1 sharp sand and cement Should i butt each slab up? or have a mortar joint? Is one method better than the other? Or is it down to personal preference? If going with a mortar joint, what is the recommended spacing...

Apologies i should have been clearer, the whacker plate would be to compact and bed the 50mm damp mix and then lay the slabs on top, I will not whacker plate the slabs Would sharp sand be the better option instead of ballast?

I'm planning to lay 600x600 patio slabs, the soil is quite solid as its clay I was thinking of laying the slabs on a 50mm bed of dry mix of ballast and cement and then compact with a wacker plate Or alternatively use a dry mix of sharp sand and cement Would this be ok?, thoughts would be...

I've already purchased the slabs for the steps which are 400x400mm I was hoping to get away by only cutting in 1000mm, would this be problematic? Otherwise I'll go with 1500mm, but will 400mm slabs be ok? With a rise of 150mm, which will be 6 steps

Thanks, what total run/depth is that based on? The sides how deep do i go in? i.e 1 metre?

Hi can anyone tell me how many patio steps i need in total? The height is 3ft I will be placing 2 400mm slabs per steps, so total 800 wide What should be the rise height? In terms of the total run/depth i can be flexible but do not want to go in too deep and eat into the garden but want it...

I've set the first post, is the string line sufficient enough to ensure that if i position the last post that it will be parallel between the first and last post? I'm concerned that by the time i get to the last post it wont be straight and it could be further in or further out to the first...
