dandys and butterfields
thing is with large bricks like that they get a high fail rate when firing them plus anything classed as "special" gets a special price tag
i just use wd40 bob, it works and is relatively cheap
went this morning and the guy gave me the cheque and a drink for the whole job,and we still have to do the steps/paving

lovely finish on the setts haggi
block paving looks good too
that alleyway looks like something out of new jack city :;):
simon that is the issue with 90 deg herringbone
unless the area to be paved is 100% square you always get odd cuts especially on the inboard cutting

Came square off the houses and inboard cuts galore, the block paving and kerbs ect are for a building firm that has quite a nice 2 mil house build that will need some proper hardscaping so the price was keen IYKWIM!!!
I have about 40T of setts to lay as boarders but the relationship between me and the client has some what tapered off ... Hope it gets back to where it was but the price is the price!

On the inboard cutting there are a couple of places i would of placed the full block for a half bat to make a longer block up against the edging, instead of a short piece and around the left pillar i would of reduced the two full blocks and the dart. But it looks a good job hag'.

I hate inboard cutting, it always ruins the finish to me, still yet to see a dart thats sunk on any job ive done to date and my first ever paved drive is 15yrs old now, its tram lined as i didnt know what i was doing back then but no issues with the hundreds of darts, any thoughts?

I hear ye dan
but on commercial stuff they wont allow darts
I would rather go 45 deg herringbone as you have no worries about things being square
IMHO drives look better just cut in to pattern,but I have done and will carry on doing inboard cutting where necessary

If you *don't* use inboard cutting and then summat happens with the work or the client gets uppity and they end-up commissioning an assessment for court purposes, you have buggerall defence against being portrayed as a cowboy unless you have a written agreement with the client to disregard the requirements of the Code of Practice.
In the eyes of a court, it doesn't matter how many years you've been doing it that way, the fact that the work does not comply with 7533:3 means you've cheated the client and any other argument you might want to make regarding workmanship is undermined.
I've seen it happen on several occasions. Contractors have lost cases because they were shown not to be aware of, or blissfully disregarded, the British Standards.
