How to lay a patio professional tips

[@bahie9283]

Justin is a God sent. Got the plastic spatula from Screwfix (Marshalltown QLT Joint Knife Set 3 Pieces (945GL) for 6 quid), and I got the SBR to prime the slabs (1 SBR 1 Water and 4 to 5 cement).I hired a cement mixer from Bradfords, and mixed 4 to 1 with sharp sand for the concrete bed. Still struggling to get the water quantity right (too wet). Got the 5mm spacers like yours with a slight modification: I drilled a hole and put a cable tie through it. It stops them falling into the gaps and they're easier to pull out once the slabs are set. Oh and I bought a full set of spirit levels. It's my first time laying a patio, but I could not have done it without you Every time I finish laying a bed of concrete I sign it with Zorro, think of you and smile, all my childhood memories coming back. Thank you from sunny Plymouth (well, till Saturday).

Maybe about 3 tiles or so never really count em . As for the time with the cement it will vary on the weather condition but say 14 degrees by around an hour or but you can just turn it over in the barrow to fluff it up

How do you workout the drop for the drainage? You said 5mm had did you get to that number is there a ratio?

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

All the info should be on the video. Set your fall for your patio so that the bubble on the level touches the line . Then once you achieve this level .set your eco drains so they are about 5mm lower than the patio level so the water doesn't hold but instead falls into the drain .hope that makes sense to you and good luck 👍

Hi just got a tradesmen to price my patio, I've got all materials there porcelain slabs, sharp sand 2 1/2 bags, and the foundation was already layed, from previous builder he never returned. However this tradesmen doesn't want to use the sharp sand says it won't stick to slabs, but surely that's why slurry is used, just like to no your opinion. Lastly as someone who's layed some 2x2 council slabs in the past, would porcelain just be too difficult, this question is open do the guys, however if they're too busy, any guys with experience I could use some advice.

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

@@gibbsy071 It's my opinion that it's the correct practice to you sharp sand for mortar on a patio along with the slurry 👍

[@builderNorthamptonn]

To be honest as a builder of 35 years I wouldn't use just sharp alone . My go to mix is a ratio of 50/50 sharp and soft sand to bite with a shovel of hydrated lime. I never understood the reason to prime the slabs ! If they are really dry just water with a roller. Sticks like SHxT. No come backs ever . And always tap the slab just off centre like a clock face and never the edge's or corners as it will rock!!

[@pedroped-in9we]

Thanks for the info 👍

If you think its wet in Wales, try living in Northern Ireland. Last year it rained 280 days in the year. Weve had 30 dry days in 2024 so far and its only June. Beautiful country for the 4 weeks you can get out the house. Only getting worse. If you are a climate denier come over get wet.

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

Definitely climate change at least wales isn't the only country that gets soaked then . Awful aint it let's hope for sun together 🤣👍👌

Wet cement no good must be semi dry

[@RichPurnell73]

Nonsense

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

I disagree oliver i think a wet mix or a semi dry is equally fine and both are acceptable 👍

[@joefowler9600]

Why can't the mix be wet? I've laid a couple of porcelain patios with a wet mix, not had any issues.

I've been tiling for 40 years also with all the biggest tile companies in the UK obviously I know nothing
