I wish i was in florida aswell rains so mucb here its depressing 🤣🤣👍💕

Took a lot of work Danny but 👍 Thanks

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping looks it mate just shows you what time and effort can do mate have a good week boys

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks David yes unfortunately the sika stuff is useless in my opinion. These companies sell products saying its this and that and its not fit for the intended purpose. The contracter uses it because they believe its good but it falls short .👍

Ta v much

Appreciate it thank you 💯

Its good stuff

Appreciate that thankyou 👍💯

Always good to see work that lasts 👌

My latest video is this 👌

Appreciate the comments peter 👍

Brian if your were closer to Cardiff id love to help .Surrey is a bit far for us unfortunately sorry but i appreciate your thought about us doing your work .Good luck . Justin 👍

What to do if the brick pathway is sinking in some areas?

@@barbbirdyard Id lift and relay it 👍

Jet wash mo.👍

Each to there own i suppose ive no issue with that 👍

Spot on with that

Yes you do

Turned out ok.. Thanks Steve

Thanks John mate hope your doing alright . People seem to be going for the cheaper trades people option with us aswell . Very frustrating when all we care about is doing a really good job but that extra detail thought and attention costs .You get what you pay for with us and if people want cheap let em carry on . Difficult times followed by what thats the big question. Not a lot of confidence to spend money out there at the moment. 43% materials have gone up on average since 2021 .Its difficult now to win work as its difficult for people to afford the work its natural for people to look at cheaper options. For us we set out who we are we have an identity of a trusted company that do top work and that cant change John. Good luck pal speak again soon mate for a catch up . Justin 👍

You think this is good?

Ive never painted slabs sorry 👍

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping ok, thank you for answering so quickly. Have a lovely day.

@albamcconnell And you sorry i cant help 👍

At the end the hypo was diluted it was only to get the cement residue off the slabs . As far as i no all hypo at 15% will work no matter the brand 👍

Hi norman I use the 15% version

Just got to do it basically 👍

the whole point of using both hypo (bleach) and slurry based pointing is you must rinse off afterwards with copious amounts of water. Run off is therefore both essential and inevitable. You'll notice that the (keen gardener) householder removed certain plants before they started, presumably to eliminate any risk to them The only other safeguard you can use is to thoroughly soak the borders so any run off will be entering totally saturated ground where it will become so dilute it is much less likely to do any lasting damage.

You have to be careful using chemicals obviously. I didn't create any damage to plants and grass and ive never found hypo do that although it can be harmful to green growth but thats the chance you and the customer take if you want your patio cleaned i guess. All i will say about flowpoint is in my opinion its at this time the best product to use to point or re point indian sandstone. Its very strong and durable and comes in different types and colour so may be look up flowpoint smooth for your requirements 👍

Flowpoint can leave a haze in some areas of the paving. Sometimes we use a weak dilution to clean this off to give those perfect results we look for .It has no immediate or lasting effects on the Flowpoint. 👍

Hi Simon. Do a test strip not used it on Slate as of yet . The hypo clean can be done diy . However the flowpoint can be diy but its a rapid set cement so you do need to no what your doing .id apply it in small areas if not done it before Si.👍💯

Natural grey was used here 👍

Think it was aroumd 25 mins but its weather dependent on how long it takes to set 👍

Thanks. 4.25 lts per bag of flowpoint..the wash off is dependent on temperature. Warmer weather wash off it 10mins or colder weather way more .so i cant answer that its on the day really 👍

Was grey used charcoal on the video called how to flow point on your own 👍

None

Hi marcus Its hypochlorite not brick acid mate. Nothing wrong with sand and cement method 👌

It would stabilise then but not fix them so youd need to address them

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping Thanks - In my heart of hearts I sort of knew really - just trying to avoid lifting them - LOL!!

@notmozart1 Lift relay is the best option good luck 👍

I think the max width joint is 50 mm. Its life span as per flowpoint technical is upto 42 years obviously ive not tested that out . Ive ive not had any call backs at all so far 👍

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping great feedback thanks 👍🏻

@Liverpool1ne No worries pleasure 👍

No Andy customer dug the edges out

Good stuff for indian sandstone. Can be used on wider joints yes 👍

Cant install it below 5 degrees but once its in and cured it great has a life span of up to 40 years .its used by most council here on major projects so all in all i think its a great product 👍

No about £25 a bag

That is a very good question .It depends on the temperature your working in .cold and its takes long to set hotter and it sets very very quickly so be careful 👍

You either just use an old screw driver or similar or if the joints are stubborn a disc cutter

Thank you. And should I remove all the existing grout, I.e. the grout that is fine as well, or just the grout that is cracking please?

@@meeralpineapplepapersandgi6016 remove all grout

Think they were white 👍

Think it was about two days James

Thanks .id actually like to visit Yorkshire but a bit far for us to travel up unfortunately 👍

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping I can really recommend it!! With your talents I bet you could take on a week's (or more) work up here and make it worth your while! 😀

@@CT-oi4ln 🤣🤣 dont no if the van would make it up there 🤣🤣👍

Jet washer greg 👍

With a jet wash 👍

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping Thanks for the quick reply! I'll have to try Flowpoint. I'm guessing you use a pretty soft attachment on the jet wash to prevent the slurry from being pushed out of the joints?

@@AVV_Beats You have to wash off the flowpoint at exactly the right time 👍

Its weather dependent paul. I cant actually say other than it has to be firm to the touch in the joint . Cold weather takes longer to set than if its warm so no set time as such sorry

Im not rich or even close .honest days living for an honest days work

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping I'd be knackered if I attempted that. How much do you think it would cost? Pretty impressive

@@mancunianinlondon I cant give prices on previous jobs but it took a few days work and the materials arnt expensive and way way cheaper than a new patio but thats what you get basically 👍

🤣🤣 thanks Nick

It can mike but ive not had any issues

Lots

I cant share that information sorry

Due to customer confidentiality i cant supply that sorry all i can say is over 1k

With a jet washer louise 👍

Did it not spill onto the lawn/ beds.. where did you wash it of too ?

Lots of comments saying the same thing. Yes it is but ive never seen any damage. Ultimately its up to the client to move planta or decide to use it .

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping hi awesome video. What mix are you doing ? Are you just putting cement in the gap or doing a 4:1 mix.

@@brickrightbuildinglandscapingalso I have stained my flags with cement when grouting. My Karcher won’t take it off. Can I buy any fluids to get it off ?

@NoName-py2dh Id use brick acid on cement stains ask for it in the buildings merchants 👍

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping I got this acid fluid from Wikes. hopefully it will work. It’s called Silka.

🤣🤣🤣

The customer cut the lawn edges back plants werw fine .dont want a petrol powerwash but yea the karchers defo not the greatest

I actually use knee pads on every job and i totally agree with you on that. As for the music all we can do is are best im learning point taken 👍

I agree with you . I did wear a mask eventually but yes you are spot on 👍💯
