Didn’t get above freezing so trying again Saturday, Thankyou mate

Is that pretty much a mix per 600x600 slab ? 😮

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you Jeff, appreciate it 👍👍

Thanks mate, just helps the job flow better 👍

Thanks Barry, comments like this really make the filming part worthwhile 👍👍👍

Cheers andy mate

Thank you chief, appreciate that. I always try to set the site up right, makes the laying easier/faster 👍👍

Thank you! 🙏🙏

Thank you for that A - G 👍👍👍

Hi pal, thank you so much. I’ve just started on here so I’ll be adding a lot more. I mainly post on Instagram so have a look on there if you’re on it. Been filming 3 different new videos past few weeks, got a set paving job, feature pattern, and a “how to” on Flowpoint pointing system 👍

Thank you mate. Been doing it a while now and have a good team with me.

Cheers fella 🙌

You’re welcome my mate 👍

Thank you Gerry! Appreciate the comment We’ll keep it coming ✊

@@Brockstonepavingpros Looking forward to it mate 👍

Thank you Andy, appreciate you watching our work 🙌

Cheers Justin, appreciate that very much dude 👊👊

No problem 👍

We try our very best. Thank you for watching 🙏

Hello mate, thank you for watching and subscribing! Means a lot. All good up to now, I’m 44 and been doing it near 30 years. That’s my preferred way, I don’t like being on my knees but for tiling yes I suppose it’s the best/only way. Take care mate! Thanks again

Cheers mate. No way, couldn’t get much further away 🤣 thanks for connecting 👍

Thank you my mate 👍👍 appreciate that 👊

Thank you Liz

Ah thanks ☺️

All the best mate! Hope it goes well

What would you normally charge per meter for a job like the one shown in this video?

@@lmark3480 I don’t talk prices publicly, it’s between the client & myself

Haha I’m not a fan. Are you’re saying a Grabo makes you lay faster? I don’t agree. By the time your Grabo has gained the suction, I’ve picked it up, my flag is on the deck. Thanks for watching 👍

Mate totally agree, but brought one for the cuts against wall where your fingers get trapped, slurry all over the tile, game changer I'm telling ya, also been using flowpoint on porcelain for years , never really happy with finished results, always few mill below tile level , because they don't soak water, lays on top even a fine spray seems to water the grout down, how you getting on with the fuga, what's the waiting times for clean off and weather conditions for using it , not licking here but top landscaper best in pool, but I'm best in Birmingham 😁

@@darrenwatters3054 yes mate, can’t beat it for setts or natural stone paving with a tight joint. Love the Fugabella as it cleans off so easily, slow setting time on the surface. Finish and colour range is next level. Haha good man 👍👍 thanks mate.

Thank you mate

😃 you’re too kind! Thank you Phil. We used a tile grout called Kerakoll Fugabella. Somerset hmmm I could be tempted ☺️

@@Brockstonepavingpros Thanks for the speedy response.

Nice one mate. Go to 10.44 I talk about it then 👍

Thanks Rob. Yeah I’ve got a few good lads 👍👍👍

@@Brockstonepavingpros makes all the difference

Thank you mate. Yes, that’s the spec issued by all suppliers. Just make sure it’s 100mm and well compacted, bed on 30/40mm bed and use a primer 👍👍

Hello Paddy, thank you for watching my mate. Backs good up to now thank you 👍👍👍 Thanks for watching, btw I love Ireland, I have Irish roots ☘️

Thanks Liam 🙏 I haven’t mate but I’ll be adding more all the time, I’ll put it on the list.

Thank you mate. Me too 🤣👍👍👍 still waiting

Haha nice one Dave All the best 👍👍

Cheers! It’s a primer to bond the flag to the bed, essential when using porcelain👍

🤣🤣 yeah I’m very particular about my mixer. Last one lasted 18 years, drum was sound, just the motor that went 😤 Thanks for watching Giles, All the best Matty 👍👍

Well that’s good going mate av had 2 mixers and numerous drums one gear set in the same amount of time ! I like the way ya work mate I have my own landscape company and always good to see good work ! I teetering on putting stuff on here myself ! Wen ya think back on all the jobs you’ve done over the years ! I could of got a few quid too ha ! You got a good amount of Views on this vid already mate ! There’s quite a few people on here doing it i dub to and don’t get anywhere near that amount so you doing it right especially if you’ve been helped by Scott at tidy bricks he done very well on views !! Cheers mate keep it up 👍🏻

@@gilesj2215 hi mate, you should do! I pondered with it for a while just blow it. Was always afraid of the keyboard warriors 😂 but it’s mainly been positive which I’m made up about. Yes Scot helped me a lot, I’m grateful to him for that. Thanks for watching Giles, i appreciate it mate.

Hi mate, yes, it’s a concentrated plasticiser, just add a shot of that and it makes the mix more workable while it keeps the body. Thank you, been doing it too long ☺️

😂😂😂 the boots are now redundant! I have them in my lock up though, be a good summer boot 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching Dave, appreciate the feedback 👍

Level across and falling away from the house 👍

Thank you mate

Thank you George means a lot mate 👊

Yeah just levels and lines mate. We have a dumpy level too for setting out

Thank you Ken. 1:100 minimum 👍👍 more on block paving & Indian stone

So you mark on level or is it in string line?? Am a tiler so I am consistently working on perfect level, just interested as I have been getting a lot of calls on outdoor porcelain

Hello Greg, nice one for watching my mate, I know what you mean, nothing to hid here man, just spreading the landscape love 🤣💙👍👍👍 Take care mate, thanks for watching 👍👍 Matty

Hello mate. Thank you for watching I appreciate it very much. Its a TS 410 and the blade is from Pulvex, mention me Matt Brockhurst and you’ll get a % off your first order 👍

www.pulvex.co.uk

Thank you Marcus, with them only being 30-50mm I prefer to do that, I wouldn’t on 100mm cubes. What a GC groundwork’s contractor? Thanks for watching and the feedback, i appreciate it!

@@Brockstonepavingpros 👍

Hahaha no there’s an offer you don’t get everyday!

I was wondering! If you lay sandstone in really cold climates (-6 to -12) I have hear issues of people getting frost heave due to expansion and contraction. What would you recommend we bed 900x29x3cm tiles on? Do you think a 150mm mot type 1 base is enough, with 50mm of muck? The Vickings over hear tend to lay their patios on a 30mm sharp sand base so it can move? What do you think would be the best solution based on your experience? Cheers mate! Keep up the great work!

@@myatix1 to be perfectly honest Alan I can’t answer that coz it’s a problem I’ve never had to consider. It rarely gets bellow -6 degrees here never mind -12! I think the Americans lay a lot of paving on sand for the same reason. A flexible bed could better in those conditions.

Thanks chief. I wouldn’t use it on them mate, too slow. Would maybe use them on thicker or larger flags. 👍

Hello Joe, it’s fine to cut mate, don’t let that put you off. Try elite stone tools, speak to Henry, tell him I sent you, he’ll look after you 👍

@@Brockstonepavingpros thanks for getting back to me, i give them a ring tomorrow pal 👍

👊

Cheers my friend 🙏

You welcome definitely the best about 👌

Appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

We lay to a 3mm joint on porcelain 👍🏼

I could of used a line, sometimes I do, if the flags aren’t true on the surface then a line is always better. Yeah just by eye 👁️👍🏼

Thank you mate! Red ! And the lads that work for me are too 😂

Thanks mate. Same as the bedding mix mate, 5-1 👍

Hi mate, that’s my preference for porcelain yes. I like Flowpoint and the Marshall’s equivalent but id only use on setts really. The finish and colour range of grout is more suited to porcelain, put it this way it’s what I’d use if it was on my house 👍

@@Brockstonepavingpros hey mate what is setts? Could you let me know the full product name im about thick 😂😂😂

@@craigorange9055 setts are small pieces of stone, usually less than about 200mm

@@Brockstonepavingpros thanks for your speedy reply. Im going to use the fuggabella. Did you use a string-line or just by using the spirt level?

Hi James, thank you very much for the comment and for watching, it’s great hearing feedback like that. Thank you. Okay, I hear you.....if you get your sub base right then you won’t need to do this. I did that on the video to show how you can overcome the issue of your base being a bit low, it’s always better to be a tad low if anything as it’s easier to build up, then to reduce. I’d suggest just spending time to get your base as accurate as possible then you can just use the mix directly onto it. Hope that helps 👍

@@Brockstonepavingpros Thanks for getting back to me, I really appreciate it. The base was laid a year ago when the extension was done (we couldn't afford the patio then) so the sub base is rock solid (and has had a years worth of weather and rain on it.) I'll build it up with the mix directly then and be careful when using the rubber mallet. Thanks again

@@jamesdavies810 perfect then. Ideal sub base! All the best

Yes mate that sounds right. Although it should be 2 courses (150mm) down from the dpc not 1 inch. Just make sure you get enough fall on it. But yeah, a line from A to B is fine, just mate sure it’s tight as possible

@@Brockstonepavingpros oh I just thought as there is a aco against the building I could raise the patio

@@supertrowel1 yes we have done that in those situations but have to advise against it as it’s not the correct way (going by regs) The architects always spec an ACO with a slight gap off the building and fall away from the house.

@@Brockstonepavingpros ok great thank you il look at videos of this situation.I have been searching for videos that are from the very start first day and setting out pegs for levels and transferring them I can’t find any so this might be a great video for someone like yourself to help others with.Anyway keep up the good work I have subscribed.Thank you 👍

@@supertrowel1 you’re welcome mate. Really? Find that surprising. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll get onto that soon. Thanks

Cheers mate. Been doing it too long 😂 Seriously though, it’s all about getting the bed right 👍

Not sure on the weight, I’ll let you know

@@Brockstonepavingpros thanks mate appreciate your reply, do you always only have 1 fall and level the other way on your paving? If the ground allows you to I mean

@@XRazorShiftyX yes mate. When flagging you want to be level in one direction ideally, nearly always across the house so it looks right on the brickwork, falling away from the house if the garden falls away, then back to house if not and a lineal drain (there are exceptions to that though) You can lay to two falls but you may see slight lips where they meet. The larger the unit, the harder it is to do.

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 outstanding !
