How To Lay Perfect Paving With Tobermore

[@utilitarian]

A lot of people think these sorts of guys are rough and ready but they are talented and it takes constant maths to make a masterpiece like this! Good work guys!

[@eglwysfawr4076]

I totally agree I'm a groundworker and lay heavy slabs build steps etc... and folks think we are knuckle head's... we aren't the maths is bonkers and working out can be mentally draining... big shout out to you all.

[@golf20v]

Sometimes when you watch a video of folk doing a job, you can just tell that the they're at the top of their game. This was definately one of those videos👍👍👍

[@lesliedickinson198]

Having been in the building trade and landscaping its a joy to see real tradesmen at work.

[@rickygray222]

That fella was handy on the saw; those cuts were spot on!! Really good finish on that job looks a million dollars. Those little bumps to give you the grouting gaps are a great idea, the joints look great. Top work, my knees hurt just watching!

[@NoName-mu9gd]

Wow that’s hard graft and made to look easy by the experienced tradesman. Brilliant work

[@steventarn2068]

Absolutely fantastic!!! Wow them boys are quick!! You didn’t even have time to put the kettle on Rodger 😂

[@JayJay-loz]

I admire the graft put in here. Earning their coin proper

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

That looks amazing a s beautifully done too , credit to the boys too job 👌🏼. We could do with Tobermore sponsoring our garden , it seriously needs a makeover 👌🏼🧱👍🏼

[@mechminded2207]

They laid em quick, the foreman wasn't Sperrin the whip.

[@canalboating]

Great job, skilled team that know what they're doing

[@kryptoniteee]

They do don’t they. But you’d go for the cheaper quote cos these boys are expensive. You’ll go cheap then you’ll pay again to put it right.

[@Russ1007]

Great job lads, a lot of hard work done well, I like the look of the Romex jointing compound, I used kiln dried sand on my block paving driveway last summer and the weeds are coming back already, any links as to where to purchase the Romex, great to see you visit northern Ireland Roger 👍

Nice work , can't beet setting out with the 3-4-5 whether its millimetres, inches, yards or even Miles , it always works.

[@cognitivedissonance2530]

Never forget the old boy that taught me 3-4-5, showed a few of the lads on my new site they were dead impressed 😊

[@AustinRogan]

Their accents are brilliant, if i could block pathe id love to work with them just for the banter.

[@scoyle1750]

For all you lads watching notice us lads over here in Northern Ireland don't use screed rails as they are only for fellas that don't know how to screed, tobermore products are great and acheson and glover, should cover more work over here we are the dogs bollicks if I do say so myself 👍

[@jordanleigh6481]

That's the biggest load of crap. More like you can't afford a real screeder with the pools it 5x as qucik and 5x more accurate. And it's 10x better in your back because your not on your knees with a bit of 4x2 your stood up dragging a screeder along a pole.

[@scoyle1750]

@@jordanleigh6481 I will race you anytime, I screed with aluminium screeds and when your still setting your rails I would be screeding you Fecking learner

[@scoyle1750]

@@jordanleigh6481 anytime you want to learn how to screed give me a shout and once you learn you will put your rails in the bin only time I would use rails is if I was screeding with a machine

[@DaveD56]

Being northern irish it makes me proud to watch these lads at work, no matter the weather a professional job is done with a bit of craic at the same time. I have used tobermore product and its excellent as is the grout they supply, a lot easier to use than dried sand.

[@SkillBuilder]

Much appreciated

[@DanLeeds10]

After seeing the effort and skill these guys have, I wouldn’t have any hesitation in booking them to work on my patio. The finished product looks excellent and can’t fault the graft either.

[@philg6613]

Absolutely superb video. I learnt more about laying patios and landscaping in 27 minutes than in 27 years of hit and miss diy projects. What a professional crew who must be in high demand.

[@minnietoby]

Got these lads to do a job for me in Dublin, super job, top class

[@SoledadSolary]

I drop my hat to these skilled pavers. Amazing and learning video. I have to say, thanks to you Roger I am learning as a customer the importance of hiring the best and why. This is enlightened me and definitely I will call this company and builders for such a professional work in the future. My house needs a complete renovation and not forgetting the patio and front drive. Thanks Roger and tobermore paving contractors.

[@micka5617]

They have got that cutting and marking down to a fine art. lovely job.

[@dickdoc3337]

"International Skill Builder" coming to a country near you...Excellent work Rodger/Skill Builder looks like a pucker job well-done lads...Remember finishing my second house and thinking how I am going to fix this garden the ground is as hard a nails up and down like pigs breakfast. You may know how a garden is after the house build there is everything in the ground. Across the road, some ground workers were starting to layout for new housing development. Saturday morning went across for a chat with the groundworkers asking if they would be interested in a shift to put my garden right. They were Irish Lads No problem they said where are you? Just across the road, I said before I could say another word 6 Irish lads were on a small digger /dumper with spades/ shovels picks coming with me to my house. They took down a part of the Fence and in they went like a whirlwind it took them about 6 hours to level the Garden bring in topsoil and lay a patio. Great lads amazing workers. Paid them well wife put on a barbeque invited them back over. The next day bought 6 boxes of beer and dropped them off the next day...Well done one and all.

[@shaun5944]

I done this type of work for years, knees and back don't last long, especially when you got ADHD like I have. Young mans game. Some customers just don't realise the work involved, they say how much! Some deserve to get caught!

[@todddillonlandscapes792]

It’s weird that you kept mentioning “laying the paving on dabs” even if they need to be laid on mortar you never ever ever lay on dabs, it’s old school and the slabs will be rocking in no time, ALWAYS lay slabs on a full bed of mortar.

[@SkillBuilder]

I laid my patio 20 years ago on dabs and it is fine. I think if you put down a lot of dabs and tap it down you have what is essentially 80% coverage of the back. I would agree that 5 dabs is not good enough

[@todddillonlandscapes792]

@@SkillBuilder I didn’t mean for it to sound rude, we are just looked down on for that in our industry, any kind of voids under the slabs isn’t good cuz this aids freeze and there and can de laminate the slab from the mortar, I’d be interested to see a video on this from you, maybe lay 2 slabs and do a comparison...

[@johnnykilv]

Dabs is for DIY. Sharp sand and cement is the professional bed. No void and cheaper.

[@Goorney]

Good advice, using road stone / Type 1 MOT for the sub base, as a alternative to hardcore.

[@MrDaryca]

Having used PU adhesive on a few jobs I can attest this stuff will stick anything to anything and hold it like you cannot believe. PU is what car manufacturers now use to bond together structural body panels and have used for years to hold in windscreens.

[@aro-rat]

Truly amazing work, so nice to see dedication to a job without the fuss.

[@RonnieToo]

Well done lads... I could have done with your skills over here in Canada when I had my Landscaping Company. That was 40 odd years ago when we were laying this type of Interlocking Pavers rather than the much heavier paving slabs. I am paying for all the heavy work I did then out in all kinds of weather, extreme heat and cold has played havoc with my joints, knee replacements, Rotator cuff repairs and 2 years ago had my right shoulder replaced. Hope the Boss is paying you good money for your expertise and hard work.... Great teamwork you all work well together.

[@jeremykemp3782]

builders and especially good labourers do not get paid enough or a good job. The customer always wants it done yesterday, they have no clue whatsoever what goes into a hard days graft

Good job, I love Tobermore block, one of the best out there. Like the tip of using the adhesive on the kerbs 👌 Only thing I’d say is that all the cutting needs dust suppression, stick a hose on it. Not good for anyone having all that dust blowing around. Silicosis is a killer.
