We sell a product called Easy Joint which is used for Jointing Sandstone paving or cobble stone setts. If you can use a broom then you can save time money and effort with our easy lay jointing Compound.  We even offer it a massive discounted price £22.50 +vat instead of £30.00 +vat if you purchase it at the same time as the stone from us. 1 pot will cover an area of 7sq mts on calibrated 22mm stone.

Whilst it is slightly more expensive that the old fashion method of mixing sand and cement mortars but considerable savings can be made when you take time and effort into account. It is also very good at stopping weeds and algae growth and even hold if you use a power wash regularly.

Calibrated Slate and sandstone paving is a way of finishing off Flagstones and Slabs of various thickness into a standard thickness (rather like a tile) in our case 20mm or 22mm. This is mainly produced with stones from India and China .
         Theses can be used and laid on a level screed bed rather than the harder to use un-calibrated stone paving. The calibration takes place on the under side of the stone and generally you will see lines running on the underside where the machinery has been used to level it off.
          Whilst Calibrated natural stone is more expensive than standard  non calibrated most landscapers quote less for laying so you should make them aware that you are going to purchase Calibrated and if you are using it yourself you will find it much easier to use.

Reasons to Use Calibrated Stone Paving
Easier to lay . No variance in thickness. Lighter to pick up and carry, Cheaper Costs for having laid. More cost effective when it comes to delivery costs  (up to 22sq mts per tonne)

Your Stone flags may have been Spot Bedded also known as Dab laying and is a way some people use when laying flagstone paving, It consists  generally of 5  to 6 spots of  cement  placed one on each corner and maybe a couple in the  centre and the flagstone is layed on top .

The cavity below the slab can allow surface water to build up and subsidence or instability to occur.

The gap below could make them more fragile and break  when put under any stress or weight.

Damp Patches may arise as the cement can act as a wick. and if using sea sand can stain the stone as in picture.

Small creatures such as ants mice and insects like to burrow and can cause a lot of movement under the flagstone.

It may be cheaper to have them layed on a full soli 

1.  The gap can allow surface water to accumulate and lead to subsidence or instability.
2. The gap below could make them more fragile and crack when under a load. 
3. Damp patches may arise as the cement can act as a wick 
4. Ants and small animals can get underneath and tunnel and make ground underneath unstable.
5. It is not always cheaper to than having a solid bed layed 
6. Advice is to just check with the person laying the flagstones which method he is going to use.

We are please to announce that we will be launching the new range of Eazyclad wafer thin slate on April 10th 2014. this is very exciting times for us to be able to offer another Natural stone cladding product to our already vast range follow the link to find more information and how to use this great product. A real slate veneer at on 2 mm in thickness works like wallpaper and is flexible and bendy .

A few pictures of the finish you can achieve using our eazyclad silver grey cobbles on netting. this project has just been completed in London SW19  hope they are not going to play tennis on them.
