Beautiful herringbone detail Justin, cracking flow product makes life so much easier it reminds me of the old days when they would use a cement slurry mix to lock the old brick floors in have a awesome week guys all the best Tony 👍
Thanks Tony appreciate the comment really enjoy your channel keep the videos coming
Stay safe mate all the best.
Justin 👍
That path is absolutely beautiful mate
Thanks will means a lot to me for you to say that
Justin 👍
What a product. Bang tidy. You're doing a cracking job. Beautiful work
Thankyou very much appreciate it 🤣👍
Don't use this on a sunny day unless under shade and v small amounts.
If you've not used it before, split the bag and lay just 6 or 7 kilos first. Yes that small.
Make sure you have a pressure washer and a trowel for chipping out indents.
@potrahsel4195
Said similar in the video. It was hot 🔥 I did it on my own but I will agree break it down to small sections 👍
Lovely bit of herringbone there 👌🏼. And that stuff is a doddle 🧱👍🏼
Apprentice it Steve.
All the best mate
Justin 👍

It’s was good to meet you today for a chat glad you didn’t get to wet 👍🏴
Likewise Scott great to meet you today .great chat look forward to seeing you again soon.Good luck
Justin 👍
Love this stuff, I was bricking it the first time I ever used it
So was i Richard really badly 🤣🤣👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping always the case with something new, I’m so surprised it’s not been pushed more by suppliers instead of “brush in” resins, I only found out about it from matipo group last year and it turns out it’s been round years who knew....
Just a thought.Instead of the jetwash,use a hose on a fine spray to wet thoroughly,then use a stiff brush to brush away the excess.Concerned that the jet wash may remove some of the mortar between cracks.
You defo need a jet wash John .if done at the right time the joints stay in position you have to no exactly what your doing with flowpoint 👍👍👊
Going to give Flowpoint a go. Used Easy Joint. Looks good for a couple of years - then deteriorates. Tried an epoxy grout with hardener - by for the best but very expensive. The patio in the video looks good now. The test is how good is it in five years time? Builders rarely monitor their work, any job looks good directly after finishing. Can anyone vouch for it's longevity?
Not used it for long martin ive been back after a year and a half and no issues .
Flow point say it last up to 40 years and you can drive on it but as you say time will tell it is defo better than any brush in resin .
Good luck 👍
You can knock up your own slurry instead of buying it that's how large areas of cobbles and Paving was done years ago, it does not wash out either when you hose it of surprised you have never used cement slurry before I use it on nearly everything from cobbles, setts,porcelain, only time I use different product is when customer wants a colour in joint as cement slurry is best grey as to trouble some adding dyes to it, would work a treat on that paving as well as long as you have at least 20mm depth and not more than 20mm wide joint cement slurry works perfectly fine just takes experience to time washing it of as weather conditions play a big part in cement slurrys
No dont think ive used a cement slurry before now.So this is interesting youve mentioned your way of doing it which works.
How do you mix yours and how long does it take before you can hose it out .
Thanks for sharing brilliant 👍
Justin
Would you add a fine sharp sand ?
Enlighten us , with your knowledge 🙄
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping I think I might try it out on a small patch . Before non cementitious (not sure about the spelling) grout was around . I used to dry mix Kiln Dried sand and cement (4:1 ratio) and brush it into my Indian Stone paving , brush ALL EXCESS off and give it a light spray from a height to wet it . Next day it used to be as hard as rock . But , the surface had to be dry . If I had any staining , I used to wash it off with a light acid . Trust me , this works ... and is so much cheaper . ☺
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping It is great for large areas, I first was taught it in the early 1990s by a builder I was working for I was labouring to him laying granite cobble driveway on a new build when I was supposed to have been bricklaying as I was on release from college but that's part of being a apprentice your used and abused but over the years I have used it on nearly everything, you can add accelerators and waterproofer and strengthening additives to it depending on weather and Paving products being installed and after you wash it of you can even tool it once you get used to it if you wished to, but mix is 3 to 1 and sand is nearly all fine plastering sand and a shovel or two of building sand for extra fines as for washing it of it is very dependent on weather but I always prefer to wash it of earlier than later as i have learned the hard way not to leave it on go home for your tea and come back to wash it of as I ended up scrubbing cobbles with a wire brush but that's the only issue I have had but on some very porous products you have to seal them first before slurrying them, but for cobbles, porcelain, slate, concrete products no sealing required, on some products that are porous like Indian sandstone you should seal first although I don't personally seal them as I pour on slurry use a rubber scraper to push slurry into joints and then I am on it no waiting I very gently wash it of when it's still mostly very wet which sounds mad but its all to do with angle hose is held at as you are washing over joint, please note you don't need a power hose as you are gently washing over it, you don't wait till it hardens up if you do your to late it will stain and leave a haze and that's what catches everyone out they wait to long but give it a blast as its quick and easy I got a plumber I know to solder two bits of copper pipe together for a spray bar which I push up hosepipe and play about with the end till I get spray I like, but one thing I will say is day before you need to go round any edges and seal joints 👍
Brilliant Video thank you
Thanks Frank 👍💯
I have beautiful york paving installed some years ago,that had some joint damage in places due to frost.So I bought some sand/cement mix to repair the joints but it is impossible to get a match.I think in the future,it would be worth removing the old joint mortar and doing a complete job with this product.ps pointing by hand is impossible without getting some mortar on the face of the flagstone,so I had to mask it off😅
Are you.mixing it semi dry
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping That's a good point,it may have been too wet.Also,I probably did not have the correct pointing tool.In other words,I should have called in the expert's,......but you wont get a pro to do a small re pointing job....
@@johngellard1187
Yea spot on John.
Sharp sand 3 and 1 mix semi dry not much water .apply with a bricklayers bucket handle jointing bar push into joints and bar it off .
Leave it to dry off and brush off the access. Got to be a dry day John hope thats enough to help and good luck 👍 😀
I wonder if that path is set on a concrete or sand base.
Mot type 1 base then the paving is layed on a sand cement screed and flowpointed its bomb proof 👍
Hope you might help please. When the fall is towards some acos which go to a gully into the main sewer, how do you go about using this product?? Surely all of the waste will wash into aco and subsequently the drain and set rock hard like the joints??
Great question.
With difficulty to be honest
We bung the main gully and leave around the 600mm from the aco .
We do the main area jet wash away from drains .
Then by hand and sponge fill in the last 600mm 🙌👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping Trouble is my garden is fully enclosed and I have no other option as to sweep into this area. I could bung the outlet and I guess lay a bedsheet or something inside the acos and then have a wet and dry hoover at the lowest point to suck up as clean water as possible to stop it going into the main drain then scrap and scoop out the rest?
@Jaaammmbbbooo
Its a difficult one isn't it .
Maybe dig a sump if you have a turf area and fill it back in .
Good luck with it 👍
can you use this on riven indian stone?
Yes you can we did it on one of our last videos look at Indian sandstone patios its on there .
Good luck
When you have got it all applied how long do you wait roughly before you start washing it off
Depends on the temperature that day .winter we waited hours summer today was 27 we waited minutes to wash it off so its definitely temperature related as to when you wash it off
Nice bit of juice 😂
🤣👍
I wish they did this in other colours except greys
Totally agree 👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping do you reckon if you stuck some cement dye in the light grey one it would work?
@@SIBUK
Ive thought the same but ive never tried it so ?
Hi Justin where did you purchase your squeegee from please?
Can't remember sorry on line though 👍
Hi pal could you use it on smooth Indian stone?
Yes you can sean 👍
Can you add a couler di to that
Do you no what i hadn't thought of that but i don't see why not .id advice you speak to the manufacturer to check that though but i like your idea brian
Justin 👍
Put in a mixer, 4-5 minutes?
Darren wouldnt suggest that personally. You get that in the mixer would ruin it .Best to mix it in my opinion as we did mate .many thanks Justin
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping mate been using this for years , that is how you do it, every day a school day 👍
Each to there own Darren especially for the quantities we mix up but happy to learn mate thanks for share your method great 👍
I wouldn't use a mixer . What's the point ? you only knock up a bag , or two at the most . Any more , and you'd be fighting it .... especialy on a warmer day . ☺
