Stavross 17,898 Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 Got asked to extend a patio and re-grout the original patio where I did a fence a few weeks ago, anyway, I don’t know who put the patio down but it’s shocking, there’s something wrong when I can take it all up by hand, so as I’m a bit short of work this week I’ve pulled the lot up, they’ll have a fit when they see it ( lol ) but they won’t be getting charged any more and it will look better 10 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No primer on the back of those was there No, nothing, I couldn’t even work out what they had laid them on, some of it looked like yellow, some sharp and something that looked like render sand or block sand i think the problem is a lot of people do their mix too dry and it doesn’t bite into them, this will be going back down with SBR in the mix and on the back of the paving, I’ve also started using plasticiser in the mix, I’ve found it much nicer to work with and you can work with it a lot wetter 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
