Hi there,

I am looking for someone to grind/cut out my existing joints on my patio http://81.174.151.9/photo....264656e and re-joint using GFTK or EasyJOINT. I am not sure what GFTK to use. I want it to be bullet proof as the patio gets so dirty, and I'm always out there with the jet wash...

If anyone can advise, or better still put me onto someone in Kent that would take on this sort of job, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Nice design shame who ever laid them appears to know very little about correct flag laying technique , lots of straight joints and lots of + all over the show

I was just looking at this myself. When I had a bespoke shed fitted (triangle shaped to fit in a gap) he commented on that also. What would you recommend? Pretty impossible to relay now (as shed is on some of it)... though I guess with some thought it could be (re)done without anyone noticing the change in pattern.

The rendering is all off as well. Looking at webertherm polystyrene over the top...

Because the amount of it perhaps it might meant to look like that ?

Why would you devise a pattern tat goes against the British standard and all known technique. It's far more likely they didn't know what they were doing, I'd hazard a guess at spot bedded as well.

Think you're right if I remember correctly.. spot bedded.. decent base though (I think)

Odd this... It's pretty competent landscaping despite the cross joints. Definitely not the first time someone has done that.

I agree, I think it was the design. There were a lot of omissions purely based on the 'design' like the lack of tanking/lining which to me is ridiculous given the cost to slap some paint on and put sheet in (it cost me a LOT to dig it all out paint and line)....

The amount of times I got the answer 'well that was what was in the design' was shocking. I was expecting a certain amount of common sense?

Any, back to the OP. Is anyone likely to take on the job, or should I get out there with the angle grinder?
