| | Paving Expert - AJ McCormack and Son - Pointing and Jointing for Paving |
 | | This is a method rarely used to seal the joints between flags except on larger scale projects, when conditions favour its use, but it is a fairly common technique for jointing setts and cubes, which can have several linear metres of joint per square metre of paving. |
 | | As was mentioned earlier, this method of jointing is a useful technique on pavements that have a few loose elements, as the slurry seeps into places a normal mortar would never reach, filling voids and replacing lost bedding, and, hopefully, stabilising the pavement without having to undertake a complete "lift and re-lay" exercise. |
 | | Once all the joints are filled, some contractors prefer to sprinkle the area with a fine spray to dampen the mixture within the joints, but we find this tends to splash some of the mix onto the paving surface. |
