- 1. Plan the layout: Before you start installing the patio, you need to plan the layout. This involves measuring the area where you want to install the patio and determining the size and shape of the patio. You should also consider factors such as drainage, slope, and any obstacles that may need to be worked around.
2. Prepare the surface: Once you have planned the layout, you need to prepare the surface. This involves removing any old patio surface, cleaning the surface, and leveling the ground. Use a level to ensure that the surface is even and flat.
3. Lay the base: Once the surface is prepared, you need to lay the base. This involves spreading a layer of crushed stone or gravel over the surface and compacting it with a plate compactor. This will create a stable base for the patio.
4. Lay the porcelain tiles: Once the base is in place, you can start laying the porcelain tiles. Start at one end of the patio and work your way out, laying each tile in a straight line. Use spacers to ensure that the tiles are evenly spaced and aligned. Use a level to ensure that each tile is even and flat.
5. Cut the tiles: Depending on the shape of your patio, you may need to cut some of the tiles to fit. Use a tile cutter or a wet saw to make precise cuts, and wear protective gear to avoid injury.
6. Fill the joints: Once the tiles are laid, you need to fill the joints between them. Use a mixture of sand and cement to fill the joints, and use a broom to sweep the mixture into the joints. This will help to stabilize the tiles and prevent them from shifting.
7. Seal the tiles: Finally, seal the tiles to protect them from stains and damage. Use a sealant that is specifically designed for porcelain tiles and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Porcelain tiles are a great choice for patios because they are durable, slip-resistant, and easy to maintain. They are also available in a wide range of colors and styles, so you can choose a design that complements your home's exterior. By following these steps, you can create a beautiful and functional porcelain patio that will last for years to come. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

using those channels will make your work stand out compared to others. it goes from a nice job to a tidy job with the little touches
same thing with rodding eyes and inspection covers etc. fully galvanised recessed cover and frame looks so much better than a normal manhole cover

It was a nice job to,start the year 👍🏴
Really enjoyed watching this. Especially the raving.
Old school 👍🏴
Hi Scot hope your good bar your foot.Top job Top man great to watch as always keep up the good work.Tidy take care mate looking for ward to your next job.
Next job is looking quite nice as well 600 x 1200 grey black border 👍🏴
Thanks for taking time to reply as always.Chats soon
Total respect! My husband used to lay slabs and he said it was unrelenting, back-breaking work. Only now do I appreciate what he meant.
It’s a tough job it kind of ruins you in the long run 👍🏴
Excellent video as always Scott,
I’m laying my own patio, and I’ve dug out my area for the sub-base and there is some bricks 2 courses high on a bed of cement, all solid.
Would you remove these before adding the type 1 and compacting or would you leave them in as part of the sub-base?
If it’s within highlights and it’s a solid material yeah why not leave it there it’s,only getting walked in 👍🏴
Nice job brother
Cheers Danny glad you enjoyed the video mate much appreciated for you watching 👍🏴
Excellent job. You need to hop on a ferry now and come to Northern Ireland and do my garden.
Current gardens the last my bodies in its 👍🏴
Simpatico
Thank you 👍🏴
Lovely tidy job mate 👍🏴
Cheers Alan 👍🏴
top quality work as usual, I don't know how you can work out the labour on this job, its so complicated and time consuming!
Yes it’s really hard to figure out sometimes especially with things like that border took two days to cut two days to lay they were happy without actually but I persuaded them 👍🏴
I must of watched all your videos now 😊 couple of questions how do you get your levels when your putting the stone down? Do you set a string line up then rake it about? Also do you need a fall on the drains you put in next to the house? Love the channel by the way your giving me courage to tackle this myself
String lines for all pre base work for a general idea for sure and reguarding the drainage against the house are always level otherwise it would look weird but slightly different with a L shape as the tiles always have to have a fall 👍🏴 hope that helps
Good job. - I appreciate the skill set …..
Thanks Steven much appreciated for those kind words 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping how long did the project take ?? with two men at all times or just some of the time ??
I’m a civil engineer who spent many years on the tools, recently got promotion to contract manager but understand what graft goes into a project like that.
Last question as you work closely with Marshall’s do you get discount ? and how are you finding del lead times currently ??
Your a beast for doing all that work. Next time when you do the finger snap transition, you show the before, snap, then show the after.
Btw, really beautiful work. This isn’t too common in the US. Everyone seems to put concrete pavers on a bed of sand (over hard pack) then use polymeric sand, which sucks imho.
Problem with sand under the pavers the ants can eat it away and water can wash it away. Stone dust already compacted is solid before laying and stronger anyways 👍🏴
Really nice looking job 👍👍👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Thanks Thomas glad you enjoyed the video mate 👍🏴
Top work as usual, that grouting job seems is a right palaver. Tidy...
All this new slurry grout is a right malarkey to clean 👍🏴
Another great vid! Can you send a link to the stone dust you use from Travis please?
No worries 👍🏴
www.travisperkins.co.uk/bagged-aggregates/travis-perkins-grano-dust-bulk-bag-6mm/p/938266
Great to see someone who takes pride in their work. That must have cost a few £££ though. Materials are just so expensive now.
Yeh the materials weren’t cheap that’s for sure glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏴
I would love the knowledge of this man . I would love a story on his apprentice days . Until he done his first job Alone an how that went .He is a cool kid one of the best i have seen , good luck Tidy Bricks .
Thanks Ian you’re in luck I might be doing such video soon attached to the National awards with Marshalls next month 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping Thanks for the reply maybe one day do a live question an answer about your career on TH-cam . Also look forward to your Marshall awards good luck .
@@iantomo5185 cheers Ian and yeh hopefully win something but I don’t have my hopes high as the category is really strong this year.
Ps new video online tomorrow where I do my back in 👍🏴
Epic job, thank you very much for the video. What spacer are you using ? 5mm ? Also do you prefer grout or joint in product?
5mm for porcelain and 10mm for stone as it goes. Slurry grout is really strong but messy to do and hard to clean 👍🏴
Really nice job on that border. Daft question, but how many slabs (assuming 60x60 and that bed thickness -40/50mm?) does a full wheelbarrow of mortar let you you lay? 3 ish?
Thank you glad you liked the border as for tile coverage per wheelbarrow of cement I would say about 2.5 ish 👍🏴
Hey Scott, love the videos. 👍 Just a quick question. I've laid a lot of flag stone walks and patios here in the states over the years. It's done very similar to the way you lay the porcelain. I'm just wondering how the stuff holds up with the weather? Seems it should have a concrete base. 🤔
Hello there my follower from across the pond as it seems the UK might be one of the only places we don’t use concrete slab to lay patios on after all it’s only foot traffic 👍🏴
Hi Scott, great vid as ever. I watch your videos already for some time preparing myself to finally lay my patio this year. Can you tell me how do you find a level with a string line?
Set your string line each end poll nice and tight hold spirit level underneath to determine level 👍🏴
How was done finished the job? I'm about doing my one
That must be the first time Travis Perkins have ever been cheaper than anywhere else!! 🤣
Good bloody point I should check my rates of others 👍🏴
For sure! TP stands for twice the price!
Hi mate how many sqm was this and much sharp sand and cement did it take?
Keep up the god work as well great job 👍🏻
I think it was 60 ish and I used 3 ton of sharp sand and 15 cement 👍🏴
Great work with this one Scott (am watching the before video now, wrong order haha).
Just wondering what you would do if someone (cough, me) dug and put soakaway crates down, landscape wrapped and covered with 150mm soil...and then decided that path would go over. Think I should move soakaway or can I lay paving over? Cheers, and get yourself one of those buy me a coffee things that others have got 👍
Hi Chris sorry for uploading them in the wrong order my fault.
As for your predicament with the soakaway not a problem but you would have to remove the Earth and put some steel over the top and some concrete overlapping the sides and you’re good to go I’ve done it on driveways for cars to drive over before no worries
Thanks for the coffee otherwise 👍🏴
is the lubricant just to help slip it on or does it help it seal? In America we have to use a PVC primer and glue. love the videos!!!!
It’s just helps to slip it in thanks for watching by the way 👍🏴
I like you man. Your work is top class. You have a new subscriber and your work is commendable...Liked and Subscribed from Durban, South Africa....
Thank you my friend glad you’re enjoying my channel much appreciated Plenty on my channel to see also I have a bit of a fun channel I started up not too long ago might be worth a look it’s called Tidybricks epic fail here is a video of me building a brick pillar on grapefruits just to squeeze the juice out 😂
th-cam.com/video/CnzjKFkFrRo/w-d-xo.html
Great video! Are porcelain slabs like this suitable for driveways if proper ground prep done?
Yes not a problem if it’s about the ground prep work watch this video I completed this last year 👍🏴th-cam.com/video/pEZjmfIKu5k/w-d-xo.html
Nice one. Do you think that the wall tile would benefit from being run through the bench saw to level the edge.
Yes possibly or a 4’ grinder either one will do. There very temperamental suckers I hate them really 👍🏴
My wife telling me I'm crazy watching this your video third time 😀 have similar project home front , side & back house around 40m porcelain tiles 900x600x20mm will be my first DIY job now I'm preparing ground for subbase digging all clay soil by hand I'm glad is cold outside in summer I will probably die from over heat. Any advise how to cut tiles I bought Rubi DV 200 1000 second hand.
Suction cup holder whatever called for handling tiles any recommendations I don't want cut again my thumb.
It's 7mm tiles cross good that was recommended in tiles shop.
Firstly thanks for watching sounds like fun 😆 wish I could help. I’d say ring my mate Phil from pulvex diamond and ask him for the right size blade for the porcelain
Suction cups always help for sure 👌
What’s the 7mm thing you mean spacers yeh if so yeh great I normally use 5mm
Keep me posted 👍🏴
Cracking job mate what mortar mix do you use for porcelain slabs and do you make your own slurry mix to prime the back
4/1 sharp sand mix and I normally use Marshall’s primer or pro prime slurry from Travis Perkins 👍🏴
Swap your builders string line for fishing braided twine.
How does the big tile saw compare to the flex wet saw?
My flex saw rarely gets used these day it has the tendency to snap off when almost through very annoying.. my Zoe table saw is the best just a big unit to move from site to site.
If you want to buy a table saw from Tilerstools quote tidybricks 👍🏴
Great video, what kind of tile mortar are you using?
5/1 sharp sand cement mix 👍🏴
Hi starting a small project in the back garden laying 34 patio slabs 400x600. I just wanted to know how deep I dig down, the depth of hardcore and bedding mix?
Overall dig out 150mm. 100mm for the hardcore 30mm for the cement bed plus 20mm tile for the rest 👍🏴
Really nice work, a bloody pain those tiles, the American ones you screw to the wall and overlap are mint, can't remember the name tho 🤔👍
That rockface walling is shit and drives me insane. I lived in California once and quite enjoyed the laying the stucco stone 👍🏴
Perhaps you're thinking of Versetta stone?
Big areas bigger the tile looks mint. Done a 1200mm tile 1 in a 90 degree herringbone pattern. But they sure awkward moving when back to lift 900mm tile was like picking a feather up lol. Used 2 Rubi suction cups on 1200mm,s. Grabo packed in put new plate on still playing so can’t be faffed paying another £230 for another when these suction cups do same job.
Actually one of my grabos is playing up already too might have to send it back
I’m doing 1200x600 atm bloody loads of em 👍🏴
How do mate, I have been a brickie for nearly 30 years and done a load of flagging over the last 10 years, I went to quote my first ever Porceline flag job today. I know about painting the back with SBR and cement slurry, but I am curious if there is a common rule about bedding the flags with the slurry wet or dry? I see you are painting the backs of each and laying as you go, is that just your preference or a standard rule? Really enjoyable and fun to watch your quality workmanship. I have never been asked to do drystack walling, I now want a go even though I can see it being a ballache as your have shown. If you don't mind me offering a tip, but your tub of drystack primer in a gorilla tub, less chance of knocking it over, haha, fookign nightmare situation I would likely do, haha.
He Chris good luck on your first porcelain patio and if you’ve done sandstone before you’ll find this stuff easier as it’s really flat and all tiles are the same size. As for the slurry primer yes it needs to be wet so it binds with the cement as one ! Sbr and cement is ok but I always prefer a proper slurry primer as sbr drys really quick 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping cheers
What mix ratio did you lay the aco on please
4/1 sharp sand 👍🏴
Hi mate, me again lol. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and I hope you are having a well earned rest. Just a few more educational based questions: how did you get your levels going across diagonally for those slabs and border edges i.e. across towards the greenhouse? Were they all level with just a fall towards to the acos as you shown on your video or was there another slight fall? Correct me if I'm wrong buddy but from what I could pick up from your video I presumed you had a fall going down both acos into the two underground pipe soakaways and if so how did you get the slabs and edging in line with your acos? Were they following the fall of the acos if there was one? Again, beautiful work and keep up with the educational content! 😊
Hello again and regarding the aco they were all laid level around the house and the tiles were laid directing water towards them. The water would never gather enough to overflow it would always find away to settle and find it’s own way out 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping thanks for your reply buddy. Looking forward to watching your next video. Happy New Year mate and all the best for 2024! 😊
Tidy job mate. Laying a patio of concrete riven slabs over in west Wales. What mix and how thick a bed would you lay?
Good luck with that tomorrow then 👍 and 4/1 sharp sand mix at 30/40mm cement bed and don’t forget to prime the tiles before laying 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping Thanks 🚿
Hi Scott
And that's why I always check the bloody stone, might be worth setting up your rubi cutter with a dead man and getting your mate to run em through before you lay, we do it with sandstone cos I'm dick if trimming them up with a sthill saw the next day to get me grout line back? 🤣🤣👍 Looks lovely mate and great job, looking forward to the nice weather pal ❤️👌
Got rid of the rubi it was shit mine is now Zoe 130 by romondi proper man’s saw
Roll on the summer hey 👍🏴
Hi mate, great job! Love watching your vids!
Can i ask...
What mix do you use and how much water?
Any sbr? If so how much?
Any plas? If so how much?
How long do you get out of a mix before its dead and need to make more?
Thanks
Hi Charles as for the mix that’s 4/1 sharp sand mix no sbr no plas just a little squirt of fairy liquid and it’s always used straight away never has a chance o go dead 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping cheers for the reply mate! Laying my own porcelain patio - first time, so anticipating it going off a lot lol, that's why I ask
Hi, I'm again needing small help when ACO drainage is ready set up, and you are laying slabs. Did I have to keep space between aco drain & slabs for grout ?
Yes keep a joint distance away from the aco so all gaps are the same 👍🏴
Hi Scott, whats your base consist of for porcelain patio? Thanks 👍
100mm type1 mot 30/40mm cement tile 20mm 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping yeah thats what im using mate. What do you think to the lean mix base that some landscapers are laying on? Got me wondering if the old type 1 base is good enough for porcelain.
Amazing job! What’s the sort of average price like this cost? Just a ballpark figure
Around the 10 K mark 👍🏴
Nice 10k job
Hit the nail on the head 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping tbf your good tho 👍👍
I have an existing 1200 wide cocnrete path going from the back of my house around to the side gate and out onto the grass area, I want to put porcelain down going from the back of the house out.
Can the tiles be laid on top of the concrete without breaking it out and then do as you have with the sub base on the grass area and butt upto the concrete to increase the total area ?
Yes yes and yes one thing pressure wash the concrete first and prime it with slurry before laying the cement bed. 👍🏴
👍👍👍👍
Thx 👍🏴
How do you get your mix so grey? Mine is so dark brown, is it the sand that makes the colour difference?
Bit of both even the cement has different colours too 👍🏴
What is the purpose of doing the 'wiggly wiggly ' thing on the concrete bed ? Thnx
It’s cement not concrete and it just allows a bit of wiggle room when taping down 👍🏴
Does the flex cs60 wetsaw cut 20mm porcelain okay for a diyer? Or is a table saw a better option?
Good question I’ve got both and must admit if your doing it for a living the table saw is much better I tried it not long ago to test a blade for someone that’s it back in the box.
Problem is it can crack in the corners when almost done it must be totally flat to spread the weight aka a table was
Hope that helps 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping spot on thanks for your advice and time, hope your having a great summer and coining it in!
Any help with manholes and connecting into clay pipe?
Yes you need to buy a universal black flexible rubber joint tightened up with jubilee clips.
Many builders merchants will sell them 👍🏴
What type of blade do you use on your table saw?
Porcelain blade I buy from Pulvex diamond ask for Phil he sells the best delivery service is great one or two days delivery 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping thanks. Keep up the good work 👌👍
out of curiosity how many cuts did you get out of a blade?
1 blade per job normally 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping ideal, got a DIY project on and I've rented the biggest bridge saw I could get my hands on. Didn't want to get caught short for blades 👍
Tidy job, me and the wife are wondering who did the rave music. We’ve been trying to find it lol

Cheers Dave 👍🏴
What size spacers do you use 5mm or 10mm
Porcelain always 5mm natural stone 10mm hope that helps 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping TY
Pressed like beep :-)
That’s what I like to hear thank you very much 👍🏴
When you start to lay these tiles, How do you know where to start ?
I followed the path from the garden area and kept to that 👍🏴
Great vid im a bathroom fitter and when it comes to a cheap tile compared to a more expensive tile can be a day extra in labour just messing around with joints and lips drives me insane 😡
Thanks for watching Terry yeah no worries mate 👍🏴
Good work! Music? Too each their own. lol
Thanks for watching and yes my music taste isn’t for everyone 😆 👍🏴
cost for this work?
Sorry, don’t like talking prices on here 👍🏴
35.45s you said inch pva. Never use pva with any type of cement. Only sbr. Got different ph and chemical reaction is not good to stick. You can google it. Only sbr and best sbr bond. Agree ?
I meant sbr slip of words but well spotted 👍🏴
Should be priming right to the tile edges mate !
I get down I believe 95% coverage will serves
tidy is right umf umf umf umf
