paving slab

Hi all, I have a basement that I want to use for storage. I’ve put down sub base and sand and visqueen DPM. Plan was to pour concrete slab but no concrete companies round here will pump 1m3 as they all have 2-4m3 minimum orders. I don’t have anywhere to mix up that much concrete myself so...

I've taken up 6 paving slabs as there was a gap opening up. 3 I have taken up with the concrete underneath (and taken off what I can) and 3 which I have managed to peel off the concrete as there was no way I was going to pull out from underneath. I want to re-use the paving slabs so it still...

Hi all, I had an Indian Sandstone patio laid last year. Everything looked fine to start - we left it around 4 weeks and then sealed it whilst there was good weather. After sealing it, we saw that many of the slabs had these strange markings on them which weren’t previously visible before the...

Filled 1part cement and 3 part sand into the gaps of paving slabs. Made a dry mix and then sprayed with some water. Tried the wet sloppy mix but not my cup of tea as I have never done this before. Can you please tell me how long will this take to dry and do I need to spray more water after...

My parents have a path around their house made of semi decorative concrete 18inch slabs. Due to the nature of the otherwise gravel driveway these get drive on repeated and are not standing the pace. They need re-laying on a firmer footing but they are not sure what to spec. Most of the path...
