- A 5 minute video showing how VDW850 epoxy resin mortar supplied by NCC Streetscape was used to re-joint the sett paving of the Old Market Square in Hitchin, England during December 2009. A fuller case study is published on the pavingexpert.com website at.... www.pavingexper...
Excellent example of how to do it properly - This should be compulsoty viewing for most of the Town and City Councils in the UK
The original builder you tuber
Hertfordshire County Council are now doing the road next to Hitchin market Place with the heavy duty grade of the product vdw 855 which is designed for roads and heavy vehicle areas
Lovely job expertly done.
Thank you Tony. Would be interesting to know how the jointing of that sett paving are performing six years on
Very much so! I was planning to re-visit the market square this winter to do a 'follow-up' piece, now that it's coming into its 8th winter. Might get there before xmas, but if not, then some time in the New Year for sure.
Tony I have fired an email at Hitchin Markets Ltd, requesting feedback and possibly photos. If I receive anything will share with you
Thank you for the new follow-up video czcams.com/video/WkKCB8txsmU/video.html
great vid i did this several years ago and used roofing tar/pitch, is this the same thing as you use or is there a special type of tar,
Roofing pitch is not as robust as sett jointing pitch. It melts more easily and doesn't have the same fillers that give good abrasion resistance. On small residential projects ir doesn't really matter but on commercial or highway projects having the right pitch is essential.
cheers thats intresting over the years my joints have bubbled up and shrunk slightly also i didnt put anything like the 10 mm gravil you put in so that wouldnt have helped being essentialy all roofing pitch, cheers for that ,i am just about to do the cobbles at my pottery factory in stoke, do you recomend a particular brand ?
Tony your videos and website are a gold mine of great information, thank you! Can I ask would you recommend this jointing or sand cement type for a small domestic area, 7 rows of 3m in length between my gate posts? Thanks 🇮🇪
7 courses - about 800mm or so in width??? And just 3m in length? That's only 2½m² or so, and would take a single bucket of the 850, if you did a bit of judicious partial pre-filling with a gravel. The use of 850 would be quick and clean and give excellent results, but I can;t pretend it's the cheaper option. A sand/cement mortar would take longer however you use it, as a slurry or for hand pointing, and then there's the cleaning, but the plus side is that it costs very little. Only you can decide what suits your skill level and your budget.
Tony that’s great, thanks. Wasn’t expecting such a quick reply! Yeh around 800mm, I just need to find a supplier in Dublin now. Any recommendations on that?
@@Garry_G I'm not sure who handles distribution in Ireland. Try emailing NCC - sales@nccinaction.co.uk
Looks like a great product, but am wondering why the PDF specsheet I read did NOT recommend it for flags and slabs?
The think the pitch looks way better
You would think the Resin would Emulsify when mixed with pre water , looks like it !!!
It probably does, but the foaming agent (glorifed soap) makes it into a wonderfully fluid material that flows with ease across these old setts, as though they were new paving laid last week!
are those cigarette butts at 0:47 ? Mixer guy must do three packs a day....
I dont like the finished effect
