This is a good guide. I'd love to see the same sort of tutorial for crazy paving. From my DIY experience, the irregularity makes it way harder to get a neat repointing.
This video really helped me this year repoint our patio. I used a wet dry vac to clear between the slabs and blow all the sand after which worked fabulously as we have very big gaps between them
Geez that was easy! I’m sitting on 15kg of regular external tile grout that I mix with water. I can’t put it through a mortar gun, it jams up after a while. is there any chance I can convert it into this type of product where I could brush it on?Would save my life
Great video very thorough! I’m a young site joiner trying to learn about more domestic work and you’re videos are easy to learn from unlike a lot of others. Cheers pal keep them coming
I have watched loads of landscaping vids, but yours, I’m finding a lot better, with plenty of tips your definitely not holding back on good advise, Im going to watch all your vids now, as I am getting ready to do my own garden front and back
You can knock up semi dry 2 sharp 2 building white cement sweep in joints, use a slasher trowel to push in, and then sponge off with a wettish sponge.Its a lovely flush finish, bringing the stones to the surface of the mortar joint.
Awesome video. So glad I found your videos. Liked and subscribed. This channel will grow fast. Informative, nothing hidden, nothing fancy. Superb. Thanks all 😊
Can we mix jointing sand with dry cement to fill the gaps then wet it after? Second question: I've seen builders mix cement and jointing sand and spread it all over the flat bed of sharp sand, put the slabs down, then wet the slabs for a few minutes. What do you reckon? Is it a good idea?
Great advice, have watched all your vids, I’m trying a patio at home. What would you recommend for a mix for light grey sandstone slabs? Keep them coming
Matt Walker Hi Pal i would personally lay on a 5-1 bedding mix. With the grey pavers it’s important to bond the all of the backs and never acid clean them as it brings iron deposits out and you are in loads of trouble then. If you are using a brush in compound it will require a 6-1 bedding mix for permeation reasons
Gareth Wilson hi Gareth thanks for the reply and advice! When you say bond the backs of the slabs, what do you like to use for that? Is that just to help the slabs stick better to the bed of mix
Hi Matt Bonding the back with an SBR/cement and water mix not only sticks the tiles to the mortar bed but also prevents efflorescence, moisture misting coming through the slabs and lime travelling through the paver too. SBR is water proofed too. You will need to keep the bond mix wet because it goes off quickly
We have all made the mistake of using brush in resin grouts thinking they were going to be a great product. To think now 5 years on, no professional landscapers would use brush in resin grouts for many reasons.
Sets like Iron - love it
I was unsure about using this product, you have convinced to try, thank you.
Your videos are great, they are great tips
I've got white marks the day after using grey grout, how can I get it out? Much appreciated
Hello pal, where can i purchase the sand resin from? Whats the product name. Thanks
Very well explained 👏 👌 👍

Your videos are great mate, delivered in a very simple way and easy to understand….. 👍🏻

I didn't think of using the "blow" side of the vacuum for blowing off.
A great tip ☺👍

Tom Sims thank you Tom really appreciate it. Where are you based
Gareth Wilson I’m from near Burnley! (Rossendale) I work on site in Manchester and I don’t get to go at much domestic work so loving the videos!

Very good video mate. What dry mix did you use and what do you recommend?
Mohammed Rizwan hi pal I think this one was perhaps EasyJoint. GFTK is the best though
Ours just has not gone off even after second attempt really not happy, can push it right through and shift it.
I use putty two stop the compound on the edges
