Minimum working temps

as the snow melts the flag will be gently lowered into its final resting place :;):

What a graceful way of laying slabs esp them big 'eavy b'stards!

For conventional cement mortars, minimum air, substrate and material temperature should be +3oC and rising.

We do have mortars which work down to -10oC. Understandably more expensive, but when the chips are down.....Please ask if you want information.

And talking of snow and roads and contractors....me and my brother (my brother and me?) went to Manchester to demo our new pothole repair product RonaRoad Greenpatch; it would have worked at -4oC, and lower. Problem was the contractor was pulled off site to clear the snow that was anticipated to fall at the time of the trial - so no trial - oh, and no snow. However the contractor has since used the product, loved it and has ordered.

Happy New Year.

...and I have photos of GreenPatch being used last summer to repair potholes resulting from the 2009/10 winter. They are being built into a webpage and should be completed some time this month.

For anyone with potholes, or even for those awkward threshold accommodation strips so beloved of Mick G, it's a fantastic product that doesn't require any tack coat, cold pour or over-banding. I'll post a message here when the page is uploaded.......

[Tony McC]

The strips of blacktop used to infill between public footpath and new driveway (with or without edging kerbs)

the greenpatch spec sheet looks good im hoping to secure some LA work as the paving locally has been ruined, everywhere you look it has lifted and the roads are breaking up terrible ,,,whats the best approch when dealing with LA's and any tip's??? we all know their budgets have been smashed lately and i was looking to give them more value with good repairs other than resurfacing

Hi

You ask "whats the best approach when dealing with LA's and any tip's???".

Our selling message is to use a performance product, the best environmental credentials on the market, and with extended durability the real cost of repairs is lower then revisiting repairs that have failed to do them again...and again...and again.

And our experience so far is fantastic.

Please call us if we can help you. Supervised site trials are readily available.

[haggistini]

i will be in touch soon Simeon for prices thanks, as tony said it should be perfect for those threshold and repair jobs and the shelf life makes it great to have a few tubs knocking around ,no doubt your product does what is says on the tub and will be a crux of the pitch to the LA

The problem with the cold patch repair products is that they are grossly overpriced in comparison to traditional hot material,considering they are cheaper to manufacture,its very annoying as they do provide a good temporary solution to pothole repairs which are currently plaguing the country. simon put your cards on the table and let us know what your charging for 1000kg of your packed cold material.

[pickwell paving]

We've got a pothole to do at our local authorities offices does that count for the free product trial? :p
