Matty I started my flagging journey in summer of 1977, as an apprentice street mason. I worked for the city surveyors & engineers dept. Manchester City Council. I'm in me 60s now, but if I was a bit younger my cv would be on ur desk. great job lads. my boss just said, "just do it right"
@@gazb6176 Gaz that’s great to hear mate. It’s such a shame they don’t have street masonry as a recognised qualification now. I’d love to have a chat to you sometime about what the trade was like when you started 👍🏼
Hi Matty great job as always. Alot of challenges on the way no access for materials and tools etc. But liverpool's finest all in a weeks work. Perfection and performance. Adapt and conquer. Congratulations on hitting 70.000 subscribers. I've no doubt this time next year your at a million.
Matty and Jake, what a gorgeous job this is. Just love the shape you’ve created and as always the outstanding workmanship. No matter how big or small the job you both just make it yours in a way only you can do ❤️ the weather was absolutely shocking haha poor Jake, still digging away in that rain ☔️ bless him and at the part where the slow music comes in, it really does evoke emotion not just because of the beauty in your work but just seeing you both working together and seeing generational skills pass along! Love this xxxx
Ah Thanks so much! Such kind words 🙏🏼 I always appreciate you’re comments Tamara and for not just supporting the channel but me and Jake also! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 hope you and your mum are both good! X
Beautiful! You and your crew always do a phenomenal job. I’d love to have this type of work done at my home. If I was rich, I’d fly you to the US to do the job!
Always a beutiful finish to your brickwork and paving .great craftmanship such detail to every design.a true pleasure to watch you and the lads doing great work.i love the videos your pride and proffesionalism is truly amazing and outstanding in every way
Another great example of workmanship superb content it’s a enjoyable experience watching you and the lads produce such high quality work and content keep the great work up boys
At the end of every vlog when I’ve seen all the work that you have done and then you show us the final scenes …. I always say “Bloody Hell, that’s amazing 🤩”. Your attention to detail, to the materials your using and most importantly making the Customer see how much effort you put into protect their property is 100%
@ been admiring your work for a long time. Especially impressed with your skills with a stihl saw, look fwd to the next one. From a fellow humbled landscaper !
Magnificent as always I wish we could have your weather still no rain here for 2 years running out of water still in the high 20s regards Howard from Cyprus 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful, I so much prefer the look of natural stone over porcelain... but I guess it is subjective. Great work as usual Matty... you and your two awning company smashing it again!!
@@KJT1411 I appreciate the support, it’s great to hear you want more videos I’ll try to create more content if I can, it’s something I’m looking at doing actually and was speaking about it last week 👍🏼
Another superb job & video 👌👌 Ive used your expertise/videos to finally take the plung and point up some welsh slate slabs and its a great finish, fair play. On to my indian sandstone next after initially been told to use the brush in stuff which is rubbish and very expensive. Any tips for removing any areas which may have staining on the Welsh slates slabs (minimal) or the indian sandstone (should i need to) please? 🙏 Thank You 👍
Evening Matt, do you sometimes have to cut slabs to keep the bonds and joints nice and tight. The 1x1 can usually mess me up and have find I have to modify them
Great stuff again Matty. You need to do one of them videos to fall asleep to... like 10hrs of you tapping on blocks with a metal hammer... oddly relaxing sound! How come you do not use a block splitter type cutter rather than cutting with a blade, is the finish not as good or accurate?
You guys are missing out on social media and use it to advantage Matty try to get a video a week out. You guys are amazing at your craft. You won't fail
Άξιος! Great job, great guy. Thank you for sharing. Highly appreciated. I have a question please: what do you apply with the brush before applying the mortar, please? Thank you so much. Nick the Greek.
Great job Matty , Not a criticism but do you think it would have been better to recess the mortor joints in the curbs and then fill them with Flowpoint as well so they will last longer
A small job by your standards but still stunning. Halfway through laying the patio you hosed it down, never noticed you doing that before, any reason why? I prefer stone to porcelain,think it's timeless.👍
Some questions occupied my mind 1- The first question is what material do you coat the stone with from the bottom before you fix it to the cement mixture? 2- The second question: What is the material that fills the spaces between commas and what is its advantage?
@@thelightofficial666 ye mate, I know they say that but not sure the reason behind it? It’s only cementitious material going on top of each other. Who wants to wait 2 weeks to point up and get paid? Not me ☺️
@@BuildForceNortheast 👍🏼👍🏼 ta mate. well this is interesting as the path we pointed which has been down for years, showed way more efflorescence than the patio we just laid. Never had any movement cracks in Flowpoint either. Sometimes I think they say things just to cover themselves
Please make vertical videos are videos with an aspect ratio of 9:16, which means that the width is 9 units and the height is 16 units.

Another superb job & video 👌👌
Ive used your expertise/videos to finally take the plung and point up some welsh slate slabs and its a great finish, fair play.
On to my indian sandstone next after initially been told to use the brush in stuff which is rubbish and very expensive.
Any tips for removing any areas which may have staining on the Welsh slates slabs (minimal) or the indian sandstone (should i need to) please? 🙏
Thank You 👍
Glad to help😃
Staining of what? Cement?
@Brockstonepavingpros sorry, yes. White staining on Welsh slates. Must be cement staining?
What's the best method to remove please?
Short but a sweet job. Matty if you find the weather to much for you in Liverpool you could always come over to the dark side of Manchester. Lol😂😂
Mate I worked there once, never stopped raining 🤣
@Brockstonepavingpros and that's why us Mancs have webbed feet.
Very nice they will be there forever.
I think so, solid. 👍🏼 thanks 🙏🏼
Great job done......
Many thanks 🙏🏼
Creat work man.
🙌🙌 thank you
Evening Matt, do you sometimes have to cut slabs to keep the bonds and joints nice and tight. The 1x1 can usually mess me up and have find I have to modify them
Yeah we keep them on the tight side, lay a few metres then adjust. But yeah I know what you mean
Tidy as usual pal 😊
Much appreciated 👍🏼 thank you 🙏🏼
Great stuff again Matty. You need to do one of them videos to fall asleep to... like 10hrs of you tapping on blocks with a metal hammer... oddly relaxing sound!
How come you do not use a block splitter type cutter rather than cutting with a blade, is the finish not as good or accurate?

Block splitter is good but only certain jobs
You guys are missing out on social media and use it to advantage
Matty try to get a video a week out. You guys are amazing at your craft. You won't fail
It’s been in the back of my mind, maybe yes
Thank you
@Brockstonepavingpros you are the best up there with all big youtube channels you lads could not fail work is amazing
Άξιος! Great job, great guy. Thank you for sharing. Highly appreciated. I have a question please: what do you apply with the brush before applying the mortar, please?
Thank you so much. Nick the Greek.
It’s a primer to aid adhesion 👍🏼 thank you Nick
Great job Matty ,
Not a criticism but do you think it would have been better to recess the mortor joints in the curbs and then fill them with Flowpoint as well so they will last longer
Yeah you could have done that. I just matched the colour to the kerb so they blended in colour but yeah, would of been an option
Hi matty could you please tel what you are painting on the blocks before the cement thanks great job
It’s a slurry primer to bond the blocks
A small job by your standards but still stunning. Halfway through laying the patio you hosed it down, never noticed you doing that before, any reason why? I prefer stone to porcelain,think it's timeless.👍
That was at the end of the day mate. Just to clear any mortar off the surface 👍🏼
@@jc8023 and yes I prefer natural stone over porcelain but not particularly Indian stone, I prefer sawn stuff or proper York
💪👌🤝 அருமை
Much appreciated 👍🏼 😃
what is that gray stuff applied with the brush ? contact concrete or waterproofing?
It’s for adhesion purposes 👍🏼
Is flow point available in the states?
I think you can order it in bulk yes
Some questions occupied my mind
1- The first question is what material do you coat the stone with from the bottom before you fix it to the cement mixture?
2- The second question: What is the material that fills the spaces between commas and what is its advantage?
1 primer to bond to mortar
2 jointing mortar to stop water ingress
@@Brockstonepavingpros
Thanks for the clarification. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Matty. How long do you leave between laying and flowpointing?
@@thelightofficial666 hi, no specific time, I just do it when it’s ready to go 👍🏼
@@Brockstonepavingpros I was at Ultrascape training day and they recommend 2 weeks until totally cured. I suppose it depends on temp
@@thelightofficial666 ye mate, I know they say that but not sure the reason behind it? It’s only cementitious material going on top of each other. Who wants to wait 2 weeks to point up and get paid? Not me ☺️
That's just to avoid efflorescenes and possible movement cracks. top job as always by the way 👌🔝
@@BuildForceNortheast 👍🏼👍🏼 ta mate. well this is interesting as the path we pointed which has been down for years, showed way more efflorescence than the patio we just laid.
