If the slab was 40mm thick would it be a good idea with a 4 “ grinder and the appropriate blade cut both sides evenly ? I have a rare slab broke one and need to cut a 20mm sliver off slab is 2 ft x 2 ft…

👍👍👍👍

Brilliant video, Thank you for making this so easy to understand. Im feeling much more confident about doing this myself now.

Does anybody use Terram on sub-base ?

You have serious accent that confuses 'uff' and 'ut' sounds with 'off' and 'ot' sound. It kind of annoys me. Good video.

My garden is very similar to the one in the video and I would like to have the same type of paving. Is planning permission required for this? Thank you

Best instructional video on this topic I have seen- thanks

Great video. How do you calculate the required amount of cement and sharp sand required for the desired area? Thanks

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone knew the rough cost of the work done on this video? My patio is about 30 square metres. Thanks

For a small 4x5m base I apparently need 12 x 1 ton bags of MOT Type 1. Inc delivery, that would be around £1000 quid. I’d need to shovel and wheelbarrow it around the back too (ugh!). Then I’d need to buy around 20 bags of pebble gravel, which would set me back around £2000 quid. Turns out it’s cheaper to just slabs on top of soil, or buy decking. All I wanted was a little gravel patio next to my old cedar shed. Building materials prices are absurd.

Should not ruffle up the bed, the tile needs a smooth flat bed for full contact

You shouldn't rough up the bed on porcelain. They need a full flat bed of mortar. Water will get under it, freeze in winter and then expand which will lift the slab. Get the mortar down and smooth it out with a good layer of slurry on the slab otherwise most of the slurry you put on is pointless.

Excellent video.

What do you do if you’re laying slabs on concrete?

Loved the tutorial, but the final design, in my opinion is bad. Fake grass, not for me. Too much paving on the side for my liking.

The builder who did my patio I'm purcilin did not use slurry primer ???? Any advice

That will be there in 1000 years time. I would compact the earth and not bother with sub-base on such a light use patio.

Cracking....Thanks

Excellent video

Brilliant. Thanks so much.

Thanks. Just wondering why there is a no damp proof membrane?

Convert the unused commercial buildings into affordable housing. Problem solved…or is that too simple

Excellent

I’ve got a concrete slab up the end of the garden. With the 20mm porcelain I want to put over it, can I use less depth on the cement ??? I only have enough room for 20mm of cement

why not make a concrete slab first ,, level it and then put the stone, just honest question

How long have you got to work with the cement? Im an amatuer worried that itll start going off whilst im setting the slabs

Use a sponge to add the water you need.

Interested to know why you didnt seal the sandstone. I know some sweat by sealing natural stone whereas others prerfer not to...

how long does the glue last before setting?? and will simply mixing it keep it usable for extended periods of time?

If someone asks you your height - do you tell them in millimeters ?

informative

I didn't like that job, i thought it looked better before :) im just saying

Can I apply this method over an existing patio

😂😂😂😂

What blade and tool did you use to achieve the good cut? I have a normal 9 inch grinder without water, can I get someone to add water with a hose and get a fancy blade? I only have one porcelain paving stone to cut right now…

Never “rough” up the mortar bed, always lay to a flat bed, this stops any voids that may be created and give a nice flat surface to the bottom of the tile

Absolutely love the flagstone installation! 😍 As a wholesale supplier of natural stone with quarries and distribution across the United Kingdom, USA, Canada, and Europe, I'm genuinely impressed by this work. 🌍 Let's connect and explore how we can collaborate.

Excellent video

use wet saw or Rub tz tile cutter... doing straight cut with angle grinder looks very unprofessional.

Is this a porous product? can it be used with a concrete slab base?

Hi… Great video… I’m about to make a choice for my back garden with the Porcelain or New Grange Granite… I’d be afraid the porcelain may be slippy… Could you advise me on which to go for … many thanks

Informative and to the point

Really useful these tips

Can I have a link for that porcelain patio please?

Best informative and constructive porcelain patio prep and installation video ever, thank you so much. When do we need to put a drainage between lawns and patio? Is it a must? Thanks

No membrane, unprofessional 😐

My only question is on the step obviously you need to be below dpc level 150 mm but your step is not have you got a gap behind the step to allow for air flow etc ?

between 1 and 6 - how fast is that rotation ? When you say low revs ? low low?

Hi - Great video. Thank you. When applying the slurry - must it be wet (ish) when laying? - Can I paint a few slabs first which may dry before? - Would be grateful if you could let me know. Cheers.
