Relaying section of paving - what height above - Relaying heigh before whacker plate

[daveey]

hello

have taken up 12m2 of large area of basket weave paving to relay after 6 years on a new plot we have had a little movement, question is how d o i get the fresh layers to whacker to the same height as the ones i have not lifted, i have set my height to 5mm, but is there a secret to getting them to sit at the same height.

The only way of knowing how far a paver is going to bed down into the screed is to do a test patch first. Alot of factors affect how far the paver will wacker down.

Have a read of the main web site. It is all explained there.

Cheers Carl
