The work around the pipes is what I found most impressive with this. A lot of builders don't pay attention to bits like this and it ruins the overall look. Top work lads
WOW!! Absolutely beautiful, lovely timeless colour, right size not too big or small. Perfect, I would be over the moon if it was mine.++++ A&E nailed it AGAIN.
Don’t use resin jointing compounds unless your beds are 6-1 or weaker. They’re designed to be permeable and you’ll get water trapped in joint and they’ll go black with algae. Look up flowpoint or something of the same style, it’s liquid cement grout have to work fast but it’s the best jointing material out there, you can pressure wash the patio without fear of blowing your joints out.
A&E are definitely ones out here settings the industry standards. Work always top notch, the best I've seen I believe, amazing at what you do and thorough explanations into what's being done and why. The transformation was perfect, keep up the hard work.
Just done this job as a DIYer, hardest part by far is getting the bedding mix just the right height before laying the tile, otherwise you're picking it back up and putting down more or hammering for ages with the mallet. Takes some skill and experience to get that one right!
Hi guys, doing my own garden patio first time. 900 x 600 porcelain tiles How do I know what mix sand cement to use ? I hear different ratios like 4:1 and 6:1 Also what size joints are best ? What grout product is best ? For cream porcelain what color grout would you use also ? Sorry alot questions there
Very nice , I am trying to do this here in Florida USA and everyone is telling me it’s wrong you need a concrete base first lol 😂 don’t know why it’s so complicated here , any advise please the ground is compacted dirt with pea rocks and some crushed clay pieces
Just curious - A&Es opinion on pedestal systems for porcelain patios? Very popular in hotels and other commercial applications - what about use in domestic?
Hi guys looking amazing. Having a porcelain patio done and was planning on using azpects jointing compound. But having spoken with azpects technical team they said for it to work you need to lay on a 6-1 mix if grouting with this as 4-1 is not suitable as it will hold water. Have you guys found this to be the case? Thanks
Great job, question regarding the primer, I was told awhile ago that mixing cement with SBR is a very good alternative to priming slurry, would you say this is right?
I floor screed the area then tile them on an 8mm trowel bed .butter the slab with sbr and cement the same i lay them on and you'll need a breaker to separate them .
Hi Wayne it’s a good question because cement has pretty much the same ingredients except the set time additives which might make difference we should ask the tech guys of the primer company all the best Tony 👍
Good tips, but note to self: (1) Need to prep the ground much more, with a whacker to compress it. (2) Also need to ensure the level / slope of the patio drains away from the house. Otherwise good techniques, I would use max 3mm spacings between porcelain
Brilliant! When can you do mine? I've been trying all summer to get our terrace done. Tradespeople don't answer their phones, emails, keep appointments, respond to voicemail, supply quotes, keep their word etc etc. Instead I'm looking at videos like this because it looks like I'll have to do it myself! The industry is a disaster.....
Hey guys great vid as always......would you recommend a slurry bond for concrete paver types or just natural or more specialist style paving stones? Any thoughts/tips greatly appreciated.
Wanting to do a garage extension to my house in couple years time, would you lads cover Bicester area? And also how would I work out if I need planning permission or not due to the fact i would want it up to boundary line because of the limited space.
I got quoted 7k to pull my 35sqm decking up and put porcelain down....I am tempted to do it myself, but i know how difficult it can be....great job as always guys.
Depends on the grade and quality of the tile remember some lower prices could be down to poor quality materials and cutting corners. Porcelain seriously ranges in price and quality. Always a use primer epoxy grout like Flowpoint marshal’s or easy grout mapie Fugabella anything like that brush grouts are the wrong way to go n tiles. Hold water they will pop the tiles in time high chance losing the seal. As these brush material 1,s absorb water.
@@BuildWithAE that's what I thought. Did so much research! Wondering if I diluted the slurry too much or if it's just cheap crap. Was Pavetuf...if anyone thinking of using porcelain, I'd advise against Pavetuf slurry...
3:15 the muck didn’t squeeze down tho so left a void? Think the muck looks to stiff on every shot thats my opinion tho, but nice job, just hope they don’t come lose
Hi Smidgey88 it’s always a fine line between getting it to wet or then to stiff, but it would of pushed material down and nothing come loose but totally take on board your comment all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE Better too stiff as when it's too wet when you knock down the slab it pushes the adjacent slab up, this does not happen with a slightly stiffer mix. like you say, it's a fine line. Great video, thank you.
Hi Chris technical data sheet all the best Tony 👍 EASYGrout is a high-quality slurry grout for use on porcelain. EASYGrout mixes readily with water to give a highly flowable joint filling and grouting mortar ideal for use on porcelain floor surfaces where a high early strength, resilient, compact grout joint is needed, particularly in areas subject to early and sustained trafficking. It is available in three colours and is suitable for grouting joints internally and externally around porcelain tiling and paving slabs, filling joints from 5mm up to 25mm wide with a minimum joint depth of 20mm.
Hi Tony You used easy joint not easy grout?easy joint is permeable so not suitable for anything layed on a stronger than 6 to 1 bed,it will run off the paving and travel through the easy joint and not be able to travel through the laying bed. Chris
I am not trying to be negative about your work as its very good,we are a small lanscaping firm and have done alot of researching the best products and a non permeable joint is a must for us with all porcelain.try fugapave grout its outstanding. Chris
Hi Chris every day is a school day but Just found this on there website I will double check tomorrow with there tech guys but it is suitable as I’am reading the technical data sheet The same rules apply when working with porcelain paving tiles as with working with stone or concrete. The base on which the porcelain is laid MUST BE PERMEABLE. In terms of application, there is not so much need to use copious quantities of water with porcelain as the EASYJoint will not cause it to mark in the same way it can with stone or concrete. However, users will find that a small amount of water to form it into a slurry, will make it easier for the operator to fill the joints properly. I will let you know tomorrow once I have spoken to them all the best Tony 👍

What a Beautiful patio I really enjoy watching tiles being put down and bricks being laid excellent job boys stay safe 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed the video Isabel! Have an awesome weekend 👍
That looks lovely 👏👏
Very good work lads! I feel confident doing a round cut for the drain pipe. Thanks great vid
No problem 👍
3:20 PROFESSIONAL!! 👏🏻
Have you got a video for the ground work prior to the start of the vid? Thanks!
Brilliant work again A@E builder's faultless finish as usual 👏 thanks for sharing your work, clients must be frilled
Hi Andy much appreciated have a awesome week all the best Tony 👍
I love the way your lads are so proud of what they do,your really inspiring 👌

Nice job there guys. Looks like you’ve been battling the terrible weather too!
Onwards and upwards 👍

Easy grout instead of Easy joint is a good alternative too. I only use joint on concrete or sandstone.

Much appreciated Lewis! Have an awesome day, take care 👍
Just done this job as a DIYer, hardest part by far is getting the bedding mix just the right height before laying the tile, otherwise you're picking it back up and putting down more or hammering for ages with the mallet. Takes some skill and experience to get that one right!
dont worry buddy happens I didnt get them perfect every time.
Cut a piece of ply the exact same size to put down first to get the bed right, saves the heavy back and forth
@@rossmale8715 didn’t think of that great idea defo try that next time👍
@@bluevanmani great idea Ross but I suppose it would only work work for calibrated slabs, I'll be remembering that one though for sure
@@rossmale8715 that sounds like a good idea, I'm going to give it a try 👍
What a nightmare this weather is at the moment , its really held me up , lovely job you boys have done

Sorry alot questions there
Hi we’ve just laid our own porcelain tiles but being novice there’s mortar left on the tiles. What would you recommend to clean it off? Thank you

Hi Darren much appreciated all the best Tony 👍
Amazing work guys looking to get something like this done myself just wondering what make and name of tile used on this Build?
Nice Job Ricky.
Ricky!! Great work guys 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
Thanks Rob!! 👍
Que hermoso el trabajo del porcelanato en la remodelacion del patio excelente profecionales, saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱👋👋👋🤗🤗

Thanks for watching Dan! 👍
Another great video, and Ricki did an awesome job infront of the camera.😎 Nice one.
Hi Del much appreciated all the best Tony 👍
smashing video guys lovely finish💪💪💪
Thanks guys! 👍
Just curious - A&Es opinion on pedestal systems for porcelain patios? Very popular in hotels and other commercial applications - what about use in domestic?
This video is fucking excellent at quickly and precisely explaining how to do it - well played
Absolutely fantastic job how many bags or tubs of that easy joint compound did u use for that size patio
So is the sub base the same as it would be for normal concrete flags? Around 100mm of Type 1 compacted?
Absolutely superb job lads. I watched it 3 times in a row It's very satisfying and I have watched hundreads of them b4 I got here.
Nice work

Yep
I use cement and SBR to prime natural stone.
In side jobs in a couple of weeks time when the weather finally improves 😁.
Wow!!! Nice!!!!! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! Have an awesome week 👍
I floor screed the area then tile them on an 8mm trowel bed .butter the slab with sbr and cement the same i lay them on and you'll need a breaker to separate them .
Looks great. Could you just use a slurry of cement/water as a bonding agent or is that product stronger?
Hi Wayne it’s a good question because cement has pretty much the same ingredients except the set time additives which might make difference we should ask the tech guys of the primer company all the best Tony 👍
Another quality video I wouldn't use easy joint you should use joint it a far more superior brush in compound with a higher resin content
How did you clean the tiles up after finishing? They look great when wet but if they dry up you see every little spot on the slabs
Good job
Where are them porcelain tiles from I like them And I’m about to do my garden Thank you
Hi Bradley MKM all the best Tony 👍
What sub based have u used before laying yr mortar
You laid it straight on type one interesting ta brian 🏴
tiles gonna break to much space available under it if you check 3:15 timeline
What is the name or range of these porcelain slabs from MKM? Looking to get something similar.
Following
Is this laid on compacted soil or does it need to be on gravel
What mortar mix is used.
Good tips, but note to self: (1) Need to prep the ground much more, with a whacker to compress it. (2) Also need to ensure the level / slope of the patio drains away from the house. Otherwise good techniques, I would use max 3mm spacings between porcelain

How did you install the lights on the step

Was that just labour cost?
I just priced one up at £5k to rip old patio up n relay at 40sqm, materials and labour

@@MistaJayLJ way to cheap to do a proper job
@@MistaJayLJ 40 square meters ? What’s point charging that might aswell not do it ?
Which slabs are these pls
I laid a 200mm wackered substrate, primed with slurry, full slab of cement but my porcelain is still lifting. Wish I knew why!
Sounds odd
