While workers at this prestigious business park enjoyed a 4-day weekend, a vast area of granite-textured block paving was completely re-jointed using VDW850+, the 2-part #resin #jointing #mortar distributed by @NCCStreetscape – hard as iron by the time they got back last Monday!

Almost 3 yrs since I wrote about Easihold #resin surfacing from Vuba Resin Products and it's growing in popularity: a spray-on binder for aggregates used in areas used solely by foot traffic. That stunning blue marble gravel is a must have – ice cool! pavingexpert.com/easihold_01

Went down for a catch-up with Landscape World in Widnes on Saturday morning. If there's a better, more comprehensive, more impressive display area in Northern England, I've yet to see it.... this is a proper gem! pavingexpert.com/landscapeWorld…

Got an irritating oil stain on your paving? I had an owld car that leaked so much oil I worried they’d start drilling on my land, but I managed to get rid of the stain using @resiblock OR (Oil Remover) - works a treat! pavingexpert.com/refurb_02#seco…

Went to see the Steintec - Tuffbau demo day for TuffJoint Utility at MKM Building Supplies Warrington this morning, along with a decent crowd. A dry, non-permeable, brush-in cementitious #paving #grout that sets after wetting - it's a real gamechanger!

There’s a plethora of one-part, brush-in-and-pray resin-ish #paving #jointing mortars on the market, but Romex have been producing top quality 1-part and 2-part #resin #mortars for +20 years, so they must be doing summat right! Don’t risk it: Romex it! pavingexpert.com/point_romex01

A fascinating afternoon with Mark from Moasure yesterday exploring the possibilities with their fiendishly clever motion-detector measuring-up device that works from your ‘phone. This could be the piece of kit I’ve been waiting for all my life…off to measure summat 👨‍🦯

Following a session of “putting the world to rights” with senior people @pavestone I came up with a glorified crib-sheet to help homeowners identify the most com-monly-encountered problems and, hopefully, allay (or even confirm) their fears. pavingexpert.com/badwork_01
