Paving grout help! - Dry mix didnt work - what to use

[PavingHelp]

Hi I recently had indian sandstone laid by a gardener and they used a dry mix grout, Rompox, which unfortunately did not set whatsoever. I know nothing about landscaping, but from looking at the instructions it looks as though everything was done correct - paving was pre-wet, grout brushed in with excess brushed off. It didnt rain and after2 or 3 days it still has not set.

So I am going to have to get it removed and new grout put in, but what would you reccommend. The local landscaping place that sells stone, sells Geofix - is this any good and how dark is the darkest one they do (I was hoping for a dark grey / black, like the Rompox one).

By the way its only a small area so whatever I use needs to be available in relatively small amount.

Also will Geofix be ok if it rains during the drying process?

Lastly, if you think I should use an alternative product, is it available in Wickes / B&Q?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks.

dom we dont really recommend the second product on this site,due to past experiences
i guess it rains a bit in york,so sand and cement,marshalls 365 or an epoxy mortar would work best

have you contacted romex?

I dont understand, what do you mean someone is fishing? Just asking for some advice on grouting.

Thank you Luton. Is Marshalls 365 or the epoxy mortar come in black / dark grey? And where can they be purchased from?
