Hi Justin, yeah you get that mate with Indian stone don’t you, not too bad with the hand cut edge but not as easy to lose with the sawn edge stuff. We lay a few metres, stand back & tweak to get it as best as possible, usually joints can vary from 6-10mm Even with the best will in the world you’ll have to cut some, we usually do that after it’s laid & cured, before you point obviously 🤪. Tricky little job, well done lads 👍
Hya matty mate Yea pain im arse always has been you'd all these years later they'd have sorted it by now .Thanks mate hope you and the lads are well. Justin 👍
Had the exact same issue with the dark grey/black limestone - nightmare having to the cut the smallest slab of the lot each time! Lovely job meeting the awkward slope at the top there, have to do something similar myself soon. Good job boys, diolch yn fawr
helo noswaith dda Dan. Shouldn't be happening dan its ridiculous really been going on some time very frustrating and costs us money. Yea had to bend the hell out of them which isn't easy on a random pattern. Good luck with yours mate. Nos da Justin 👍 🏴🏴
Well done on the awkward sod! The twist looks as if they did not dig enough out of the side where the steps meet the pavement> Bugger working in the rain,I would sooner come back lol Thankfully, I didn't have to do slabbing now as I am retired, but I have met many areas to be sorted like this one
Hya Paul. Think they tried originally to take the gradient out of it a bit by twisting the levels.We had to follow what was there.Just making good what was there and sometimes as you no thats harder.Do you miss working or you glad to retire? Thanks mate 👍
Nice one fellas looks well that 👍 I’ve same problem with some random pattern raj blends 280x280mm-305mm-305mm and 610x900mm 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ fecking joints all over shop but what can ya do . Keep up the good work fellas all the best
Those 45° cuts are bang on mate!! Proper pain about having to cut those smaller slabs! On site I've seen lads just open up their perps to get over it..but you end up with a bit of a mess really..however if the manufacturer just cut them correctly it would save hassle for everyone! That mix is like concrete 👌them slabs are never moving 👌 Brilliant work mate! Definitely not the easiest job at all! Looks fantastic! Look forward to see the clay paving job bud! Hope you and the lads are feeling well🍻🍻💪
Thanks izzy appreciate the comments. Yea opening up the perps as you say dont work unfortunately. Been happening for years and they still haven't fixed the issue stupid really but they get away with it.we all good here thanks now after that lurgy 🤣🤣.Good luck issac mate thanks 👍💯
Recently found your channel I'm a DIY newbie I've dug the garden out ready to pave Here in Carlisle it has rained for 6 weeks I covered most of the garden with a tarp, but the soil is still wet I am going mad waiting for it to dry Am I being over cautious, or can I whacker plate my type 1 over it and lay my slabs Any help please Keep making the videos
Its difficult to say as im not on site to see it. Generally if you dig a small water collection pit and pump or bucket the water out .Then scrap any slop of the surface area so its free of water and slop. You are then good to mot the area .soon as the mot is in wack it straight away .if you leave it and water builds again your mot will turn to slop . Its worse here in wales rain wise we get so much rain i feel for pain. Good luck hope that helps you . Justin 👍
Great work Justin tidy aco drains them your son has done well. Ah feel ya on slabs nightmare. Even some porcelain tiles can be as much 2mm either way nightmare if laying in stack bond sometimes just do without the spacers. Sandstone can be miles out tho. Save on slurry mate on the hard concrete and just wet it then roll some sbr on save a wee bit On slurry 🤟
How are you mate ? Yea both lads doing really well. Sandstone been out of calibration since day 1 hasn't it .You'd think they'd have it sorted by now its ridiculous. Sbr would of been fine just didn't have any on the van mate .Take care mate. My disc cutter / Angle grinder has gone bang we had a makita 240v about £50 you recommend a replacement mate ?👍

Paul as long as they are level and the run isnt to long and you have an outlet you can put them in level .ideally just a very slight fall though mate 👌
We've had that problem with paving sizes with Indian sandstone a few times. We always ordered the 840/560/280 sizes. Recently had a job and was supposed to all be 560 square (brickbond pattern) they hadn't got any but supplier said don't worry you can use the 600 by 600"s. We didn't even know they did them, so after that, I'm wondering whether the size batches get mixed up somehow, so you might get 840's and 560's with some 300's instead of 280's or 600's instead of 560's? I guess we'll never know.
Hya Paul. Yes your right different suppliers do different sizes its a pain in the arse again to be honest .Bradstones wherw the 560 and 840 etc then marshalls used to be the same size now there arw 600 x 600.etc so a bit confusing isnt it but at least give us sizes that fit paul right ? Good luck mate . Justin 👍
Hya clive Pain in the arse time is money they should either make the product a lot cheaper or just do em right first off.The dewalt is brilliant but after using it now for a while the batteries dont last that long and we have to go back to the sthil saw bit frustrating clive Awra best mate Justin 👍

Great vid ! Your certainly not afraid of taking on jobs with cuts !😂 then the daft small pavers to do on top ! I’ve always just expected it and sometimes I don’t even use them and I’ll lay them in 1/4 to half bond !

Oh I bought a dewalt saw same as yours and it’s definitely a handy tool and love not having to be pulling pull cords etc but you can’t just have that as a pavers ay !! It’s handy yes but you still need a Stihl saw as the dewalt isn’t really that powerful for loads of cutting at a time , that said a wouldn’t do without it now ! How you liking yours ?!

Tidy lads.. Yep,had same problem with Indian Slate...absolute nitmare,ended up laying it all,then cutting the joints out required with a mini grinder...guess we should start with a bigger joint to allow for it, but not keen on oversize joints...
Alan i did that on my own house just to see what the bigger joints look like and it looks wrong mate. Its the obvious thing to think though but dont do it alan .good points though. Good luck.mate 👍
The having to cut the 300mill squares has happened to me multiple times i cant count but doesn't happen all the time for some reason couldnt write it 🍻🏴
The manufacturer should be more accountable costs us time and money while they get fully payed for an inferior product. There we go thats my take on it Robert 🤣👍🧱🧱🏴🏴
That little L shape cut at bay window could have been done away with if you cut bit of 600mm slab and that would let you come of house with full slabs but neither here or there I suppose, good job considering what your working with 👍
What a horrible job to do definitely hard to get job satisfaction on these types of jobs. But you and the boys have done a great job yet again. Indian sandstone is awful at the moment with the sizing. Had the lurgy myself last week real struggle in this weather. Hope you’re all feeling better 💪
Tidy job Justin 👍 good to see young lad doing the drains hands on best way to learn. Can only work with what you have sometimes this is one of them and I agree if I was the customer I’d go the more cost efficient route as like you say not being used as a drive and not a lot can do with it just tidys it up I’m sure you could park a lorry on that tho the concrete was very thick

Why start from bottom on slope surface?can i start from top?
Start from.the top and the slabs are likely to move down hill.giving you big joints.
Id strongly suggest working from the bottom up .
Good luck 👍
Can I lay pavers use crush rock as base on slope surface?
Id recommend mot type 1 base with a screed layer of sharp sand .we have videos on block paving in the play list if that helps 👍

The having to cut the 300mill squares has happened to me multiple times i cant count but doesn't happen all the time for some reason couldnt write it 🍻🏴
The manufacturer should be more accountable costs us time and money while they get fully payed for an inferior product. There we go thats my take on it Robert 🤣👍🧱🧱🏴🏴
That little L shape cut at bay window could have been done away with if you cut bit of 600mm slab and that would let you come of house with full slabs but neither here or there I suppose, good job considering what your working with 👍
Just kept to the pattern we were using from marshalls but thanks for pointing that out 👍🙂💯
What a horrible job to do definitely hard to get job satisfaction on these types of jobs. But you and the boys have done a great job yet again.
Indian sandstone is awful at the moment with the sizing. Had the lurgy myself last week real struggle in this weather. Hope you’re all feeling better 💪

Tidy job Justin 👍 good to see young lad doing the drains hands on best way to learn. Can only work with what you have sometimes this is one of them and I agree if I was the customer I’d go the more cost efficient route as like you say not being used as a drive and not a lot can do with it just tidys it up I’m sure you could park a lorry on that tho the concrete was very thick
Alright sean
Spot on yea agree with you mate .Fra and brad are learning doing well.to 👍
