A really informative video, clearly explained the rationale and circumstances for using the chosen products on sandstone paving which makes perfect sense.
I’m tackling my first porcelain patio what’s the best material for grouting. Was thinking flow point. I’m on my own and don’t mind how long it takes. Love this channel by the way cheers👍
@@tidybrickslandscapinglmao. YOURE doing it wrong you chump, you’re an amateur and giving out bad advise. Tell you what, stick to what you know, which sure as shit isn’t this!!! 😂😂😂😂
Hey mate, hope you’re good. Steintec do a bound permeable resin and polymer free jointing mortar. More granular finish but suitable for 10-20mm joints Good gear
Great video - this is very similar to my patio. How clean do the joints need to be before repointing? Did you clean out the little stones and debris shown on the close up at 2:48 or just apply the joint it straight on top?
Hello! Great video🎉 do you know if it possible to use this application method with other brands of grout? For example can i do this with the sika fast fix grout? (Cant get ahold of the joint-it simple product from toolstation or local stores). Many thanks
Always traditionally point sandstone and concrete slabs but if customer asks for joint it or eazyjoint im happy to do but so far haven't actually done anything different on sandstone just traditional point . Porcelain I either grout or easyjoint (use other brands too). I recently just grouted Limestone and that looks amazing, just about to put a video up of that.
Traditional jointing is always the best especially after years of trying all these new grouts out sod that get the mortar back In there. 👍🏴 I’ll keep a eye out for that video of yours
@tidybrickslandscaping completely agree, , I love the look of a decent traditional mix with sandstone, but I do see why people prefer using the brush in as it's just so much easier, especially with the weather we have 🤣, anyway hope you're all good mate, glad to see you back on the tools and videos 🔨👷♂️🎥
@@jaspermillerlandscaping6174 totally agree regular mix for sandstone even can do it when your laying em just let it squirt up the joints 👍👍🏴 Got another countertop coming up doing it a different way different products should be a eye opener
Cheers for that my grandfather was 7th generation stone mason. We cleaned a patio the other day which had been re grouted to a very poor standard . I will send the link of this vid to the homeowner.
Wanted to ask you is that just regular cement u put under pavers we don’t normally do stuff like this in Barbados They just do a hard slab then normal thin outdoor tiles
Will this product wash out when pressure washing? I'm looking for something to use between my patio slabs which are on sand. I was thinking kiln dried sand unless there's a better option.
Just kiln sand is not good it’s bound to wash out with a pressure washer. Joint it is ok as long as it’s forced in but never as hard as cement 👍🏴
I think you did the right thing here you just need to make sure the sub base is nice and permeable too, sometimes a sub base of 20 to dust compressed well barely drains at all then the water just pool below
I've just done mine today with a 5:1:1 Mix (5 Sand : 1 OPC : 1 Hydrated Lime). A builder mate advised to seal the slabs BEFORE pointing which I am glad I did to help stop staining from the pointing mix. Once the pointing has gone off - might seal the whole thing again including the dried grout. Thompsons one coat (Screwfix). Tidy.
@@Wayne-pb5zx sealing it first helps but only if it’s been down a while and get yourself a grout bag from Amazon and pipe it in like cream on a cake but use kiln sand very fine no blockages 👍🏴
@@Liverpool1nemore so for brickwork jointing those guns as the gun would be level rather than downwards hence the piping grout bag is for downwards filling 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping always puzzles me when they say these polymeric sand shit things have to be laid on a permeable bed but we use a 6-1 mix thats nothing short of concrete when it goes off? what constitutes a permeable bed then? had nothing but problems with them. the last time we used one i drilled a series of 8mm holes down the joints into the sub grade. this seemed to help with drainage.
@@seanmcgrath9167 yeh the old drilling into the base what a pain in the ass that is feck all that mind you I did do it once and still a fecking pain it’s so much easier laying bricks again bish bosh done 👍👍🏴
@@MrM669 lot of people either throw on dry brush it in then bit of water on top stuff doesn't cure properly and people say is bad product etc, this method ensure proper cureage
Got my sandstone done about 5 years ago and the joint it failed within a year, the guy who done it filled the joints with sand and and filled the last 5mm with the joint it compound 🤬
@@williammuir8901 yeh not a problem that’s a issue for structural stuff as for the grout yeh no issues take your time follow what I did and it’s all gravy baby 👍🏴

Great video. Fantastic.
Originally came to this channel ages ago to learn.
Great to hear! I’m here to help 👍🏴
A really informative video, clearly explained the rationale and circumstances for using the chosen products on sandstone paving which makes perfect sense.
I’m glad it all made sense it turned out well I believe this video 👍🏴
DONT use this product, it’s rubbish.
@@dannjp75 of,you did it properly it’s not to bad 👍🏴
Great info
Glad it was helpful! 👍🏴
I like the idea of joining with a spoon👍😊
Me too! Best tool for the job 👍🏴
Joint it good gear.
I'm trying Nexus Titan on present job, looks good.
Good choice! 👍🏴
Good video
Cheers changy nice and light work unlike lashing em in everyday hey 🧱
Thx for the visit 👍🏴
Great vid mate
Hope it helped 👍🏴

Yes flow point is the perfect choice for porcelain just make sure it’s not a hot sunny day when you use it the cloudier the better good luck 👍🏴
Top Job boyo, you do ramble a bit 😂😂😂
I love the sound of my own voice lol 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping it’s a great voice, good for you 😎
love the wet tub, see so many sweeping in with a brush
And there all doing it wrong 👍🏴

Steintec do a bound permeable resin and polymer free jointing mortar.

I’ll check it out as I’ve got lots of cleaning jobs on atm seems to be my new role in life 😂 👍🏴

Let the pressure washer blast all the crap out first then it’s dust free too 👍🏴

@tidybrickslandscaping definitely 👍👍 , look forward to seeing how you get on , they look the business though 👌🏽
Wanting to do this on newly extended patio slabs on new build but does it affect the drainage ?
Thank you
Not really ltll just weep,it’s way though slowly 👍🏴 not on top,of concrete base though

Much appreciated I’m glad it’s been of help 👍🏴
Ahoy mate! Your gramps and I both went to different schools together!
@@simplytrolling6869 most likely yeh lol👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping 👍 thanks for the informative video!
Wanted to ask you is that just regular cement u put under pavers we don’t normally do stuff like this in Barbados

Yeh regular cement and laying a slab and tiling on top is still fine no worries 👍🏴
seal the stone. then wet point 1 cement 1 lime 3 soft 1 sharp never had a problem.
Cement always works every time 👍🏴
I'm a stonemason, do natural stone paving now and again, this is the mix I use! 👍

The patio was laid so bad my guess the water will flow out 👍🏴
If your gon a use sand and cement to grout on indian stone does it need sealing 1st ?? Thanks
Depends how long the patio has been down less than 6 months the grout first or longer than 6 months seal first should be good 👍🏴

Sounds like a plan go for it 👍🏴
On sandstone we use 3/1 sand and cement. Porcelain we only use Flowpoint
I was tempted yeh the cement route 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping when pointing with sand and cement, how do you avoid staining to the sandstone?
@@Wayne-pb5zx sealing it first helps but only if it’s been down a while and get yourself a grout bag from Amazon and pipe it in like cream on a cake but use kiln sand very fine no blockages 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping I’ve also heard of people using mastic guns to apply various compounds into the joints. Is that a thing?
@@Liverpool1nemore so for brickwork jointing those guns as the gun would be level rather than downwards hence the piping grout bag is for downwards filling 👍🏴
Tidy refurb 💪🏻 🏴
Best I could do 👍🏴
What would it's cost to lay new slabs on my back garden 8x8 metres
64m2 that would be and around £180 m2 all in is my price 👍🏴
Live in the Cardiff area best place to buy slabs?
Mandarin stone on Colchester avenue in Cardiff is a great place very good prices and great tiles 👍🏴
cross joint central.
Yeh that’s true bloody everywhere 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping always puzzles me when they say these polymeric sand shit things have to be laid on a permeable bed but we use a 6-1 mix thats nothing short of concrete when it goes off? what constitutes a permeable bed then? had nothing but problems with them. the last time we used one i drilled a series of 8mm holes down the joints into the sub grade. this seemed to help with drainage.
@@seanmcgrath9167 yeh the old drilling into the base what a pain in the ass that is feck all that mind you I did do it once and still a fecking pain it’s so much easier laying bricks again bish bosh done 👍👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping you keeping busy pal? hows the ankle?
What's best to remove staining from Joint it ?
Apparently the sun over time ☀️ so I’ve been told by there department 👍🏴
Really! Wow could take a while @@tidybrickslandscaping
@@matty9535 that was from the horses mouth 👍🏴 from joint it
Would the make up of subbase/mortar bed not dictate pointing choice, permeable or impermeable etc?
Yeh for sure it was so bad this one I think joint it was best espresso for future puddles 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping good to see you getting back up to speed after op btw 👍
@@shaunfieldhouse5764 glad to be able again 👍🏴
I thought you had packed in to put your feet up 😊
Got bored needed something 👍🏴
What do you think of a mix with 3 building sand, 1 granite dust and 1 cement?
Sounds manageable 👍🏴
Nice yeah best way is add water to tub only video i seen doing that also
This seems easiest by adding water to the tub, do many people do it like that? Not seen anyone else do this either.
@@MrM669 lot of people either throw on dry brush it in then bit of water on top stuff doesn't cure properly and people say is bad product etc, this method ensure proper cureage
Yeh totally agree this is by far the best way to use it let it soak and push it in 👍🏴
After adding water to the tub and grouting how long will it last if any leftover
@@petebroadhurst5087 not 100% sure but I think it’s a few months 👍🏴
Throw the whole patio in a skip and repoint a properly laid patio.
Totally but it was a make do jobby until they want a revamp of porcelain 👍
@@tidybrickslandscaping 👍🏻

Gutted for you bloody amateurs 👍🏴
Gonna be expensive to repair, think I need about 8-10 tubs 🤷♂️
@@williammuir8901 and there about £37 a tub just make sure if you do then copy how I did it 👍🏴
Will do cheers mate I’m assuming if I do some one day and another batch the next day it will bond to the previous stuff from yesterday well enough ?
@@williammuir8901 yeh not a problem that’s a issue for structural stuff as for the grout yeh no issues take your time follow what I did and it’s all gravy baby 👍🏴
Flowpoint all day. Nice upload scotty @tinydicks
Time and place for flowpoint but otherwise yeh 👍🏴
