Hello all -  I wonder if anyone can tell me what sort of price should I expect to have to pay for good quality sandstone per m2 - trade prices . And also is jointing compound really reliable compared to sand and cement pointing?- Thanks

Hi Chris,

We do use mortar guns, but not all year, its difficult during colder months as you need to add plasticiser to the mix to get it to run through the gun, which makes drying slow in colder days. It can be faster than a standard point if a team of 2 works together, one pointing & one mixing, filling the gun & applying the mix. It is certainly a cleaner finish.

regards

I'm new to the Hard Landscaping Group.  Have looked at some of the reviews and think this is such a good idea.  As a designer it's so useful to have an overview of many products across a number of providers.

Hi All.

New to the Hardlandscaping Forum! We install mainly natural indian sandstone patios for clients and some even request a two tone effect or various colours as picture below. Does anyone know much about using the Quickpoint Mortar Gun for better speed and accuracy?

I usually use my local company - http://www.bannold.co.uk/  as they have a good range of products, I can go and look at them - and most  importantly they have signed up to the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) for their Indian sandstone - I wouldn't touch with a bargepole any stone from India  which doesn't have this.  The horrendous conditions (including child labour, bonded labour - basically slavery - and no safety equipment) in other quarries means that I couldn't buy from them with a clear concience.  I know that Marshalls, Natural Paving Products and Pavestone are also signed up to the EthicalTrading Initiative (ETI).
