Artoist 153 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 #1 Good morning, are there any flaggers on THL? Would like to know the going daily rate, just had a quote and I'm blown away! Maybe I've just lost touch because it's something I've always done myself, any advice appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not bad mate,I prefer not to have any cuts smaller than the smallest slab or near enough 300x300mm around the manholes.dropping in some before the manhole will get a decent sized cut round the manhole.looks good tho bud.what pointing do you use.resin or pug.??

Thanks Sandstones around to 110 per morning sq depending on area.but that's dig out,grab away,lay terrace,type 1,sand,sharp sand,cement,glues,slabs and proper pointing with resin or cement all pointed up smooth not brushed in finish.big difference in moneys and looks if done shit.throwing a few slabs down on sand and brushing in kiln dried is a bodge up. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,515 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I've not even finished digging out for my concrete pad yet but next job is digging out to flag the rest of the garden. I've always liked lawns but 2 dogs and 2 kids are just turning it yo mud. If any of you are in the North West then come and give me a quote, just looking at these pics gives me a bad back Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup,also when they wet cut the slabs in the quarry thier is powder on the back that stops adhesion.i use plastic,dash water and cement powder slurry,to paint the back.they lift otherwise,also stops the spot bleeds.
