Pointing up and sealing Indian stone slabs?

[foxhole]

Used this on back garden, really tough , really expensive but would recommend. Jet wash has no effect on it .
Used Sika products on front garden but shrunk , crumbled and washes out in places.

Mines got a bit wrong.

The slabs were 900x600, 600x600, 600x290 and 290x290 with the pack saying 18.9mtrs coverage with a 10mm gap.

I put a 900x600 down first then lined up a 600x600 and 600x290 along the edge of that. That gave me a 20mm gap.

Turns out the sizes of the slabs were off by upto 20mm so now I have gaps of upto 30mm in places. Only solution I could have seen would to have cut them all again. It’s just a bit of paving near my shed so if I did some near the house I’d get a more expensive/accurate slab.

Will the Geofix do upto 30mm joints?

This is a 290 measured at 265, I’d done half before I realised

I still cant get my head around how well the clean and why. They are brilliant and I don't impress easily.

Well, after much research I plumped for this model. Just my bloody luck - not in stock anywhere. Karchers of all description seem to be in short supply everywhere - has everyone turned to patio cleaning during the lockdown? Also, most places, even those that don’t have them, are asking more than the price You would pay if you bought direct from Karcher!

Feck me, I’ve been on the 'net and phone all morning. Changed my mind and gone up a model to the K7 premium full control - more power so better for patio cleaning which will be my main use. Only place that has them in stock is B&Q at just under £400. Another £9O for the patio brush but they haven’t got that. Rare as rocking horse poo at the moment apparently! Annoying too that up until the end of May, there was a £50 cashback offer on the K7.

Sod it! Had a phone call today telling me our new patio furniture is being delivered on Wednesday. Can’t put it out on a grubby patio so I bit the bullet and bought the machine on its own from B&Q. Just had a little play with it and.....WOWSER! So powerful. Going to get to work tomorrow and wash everything.
First test run:

Go ahead punk. Make my day!

That’s a biggun!!!

I was thinking of getting one of those but to be honest, I didn’t think it did too good a job in that video. Maybe the bloke has a low powered washer? I have a little K2 and according to the label, that gives out 100bar pressure. I’ve cleaned my drive and patio with it a few times but it is messy using the lance and takes a fair while to do it - a couple of hours at least. I always end up with a tingling hand for hours afterwards. I’m looking at buying a new full kit - the K4 full control home and car model. That has a car brush, foam gun and the T350 head and gives out 130 bar pressure. Don’t mind paying for it if it all works but I’ll be pretty ****ed if it’s no better than the one I’ve got. Any comments on that model?

I have a K2 and brought the patio head cheap off eBay, I just had to change a nozzle thing in it to make it compatible. It’s great, just like vacuuming!!

Have you used the patio scrubber yet?

 

[Mottie]

No. I couldn’t get the package with the patio scrubber and I couldn’t get one separately so I just bought the machine - B&Q were the only place that had one that I could get my hands on yesterday. Wish I’d had thought about it a day earlier though - I could have got £50 cashback on it but the offer expired on Sunday. I’m going to get the T450 patio scrubber as that one has a pointed front that gets right into corners. Also going to get the foam gun, rotating car brush and wheel cleaner. Might even get the gutter tool too. I do love an accessory!

They are not a gimmick. The scrubber is the real deal and the missus will think you are a hero because of how quick and effortless they are - but don't let on.

Well, I’ve cleaned my patio. Just blasted all the crap onto my patio doors. And my wall. And my fence. And my gate. And my feet, legs, nuts, body, arms and face. At least my flip flops kept some of the blast at bay!
Still, the patio has come up a treat.
