Hi, Concerning pointing, in the past i have tried Geofix - not good, the easipoint method - good, the old fashioned way with a trowel, - good but time consuming. I have seen somewhere a method where you mix material in a mixer and pour over the area to be pointed and sort of squeegie it into the joints ? what is this ? and is it any good ?

Hi
You're talking about a 'slurry'application which is ideal when you have a large proportion of joint to stone.
We do one called Granatech, the powder is mixed with water, poured over the area to be pointed, squeegeed into the joint and cleaned off when the mortar has gelled ( approx one hour).
If you would like more info visit our webiste, www.easipoint.co.uk or give us a call on 01257 224900.
Hope this helps

Slurry jointing is fine as long as....
1 - you have a utility pavement where the finish is unimportant and any cement hazing/staining would not be an issue.
or
2 - you have a type of paving that can be effectively cleaned once the slurry has been applied. Sawn granite is fine: riven Indian sandstone isn't.
