Thanks in advance.
Ok, iv'e found that a mat may be required, are these rubber or can you make one out of carpet or something simillar?

You do not need a sole for your plate compactor.

Hello Tony, are you saying you can use vibrator/compactor plate bare metal on block paving slabs. I am going to be laying shorty and can get a plate but it comes with bare metal bottom also.

It depends on the type of blocks, but, for all tumbled products, there's no need for a sole plate.

in my experience a rubber sole can cause more problems than it can solve .The slightest piece of pebble can get stuck on the mat and b4 you've noticed scratch the surface of the paviours to an extent that they need replacing.Personally never use one even on Marshalls rivened products such as Excel :p
