I can't see any long straight joints? But am on my phone, got to price a prestige patio next week so will be pricing these. Looks a very nice job

I hope there are no unreasonable straight joints - Marshalls supplied the layout pattern!!

They're not too bad but the 845 x 560's are shaped like bananas and the 275 x 275 are mostly 275 x 270. :angry:
Must be a common problem with the fairstone range, we had some of the fairstone riven ones last year and nearly all the 845 x 560 and the 560 x 560 ones were shaped like that, we had nearly 300sqm to do and the builder wouldn't accept them so marshalls came out and agreed to swap them we sent crates and crates back. Also had the same problem with the 275's.

I'm not suprised.
OK they do good rates for big spenders, or suposedly they do, although I've heard if big spenders look around they can often do better.
But if TP done great rates for the trade and reasonable for non trade I reckon they'd be a lot busier and make more money.
We had a very good independant Timber/builders yard near me. That was until TP took it over, now their prices are laughable.

Yes I’ve used Weatherpoint on my own patio and it's pretty good. Having experience of using Geo Fix previously, I was looking for a solution that actually worked and didn't blow away in a strong wind!! Having had a conversation with a landscaper, he put me on to Weatherpoint, he absolutely swears by it. He used to use Rompux, but in his opinion this was better and suggested I use it. A quick trip to Jewson and i got 6 tubs for £33 plus VAT each.

Easy to install, goes hard within a couple of days (despite laying it in horizontal rain!) and has given my indian stone patio (which had looked very tired with crumbling Geo Fix) a new lease of life.

Definitely a thumbs up from me.

PS Sorry probably not a fantastic laying job, but not bad for an amateur!

Just an update on this one - I was back at this client this week for some other work and the pointing on the patio still looks good, no holes, missing or crumbling pointing 2 yrs on, so for now Marshalls Weatherpoint 365 is looking like a reasonable product to use.
