PeterW Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 No issues with laying any patio in winter, but just add frost proofer to any mortar or bedding to be sure. Also worth sealing Indian sandstone before laying it to stop mortar marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterW Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Depends on your current ground but 150mm is about right as you need to get to a solid base, lay two layers of MOT1 and compact it well and then your bed of semi dry mix to bed the tiles on.

avabanana Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 100mm should suffice unless ground is clay in which case sometimes 300mm is not sufficient. Sandstone should only be sealed after remaining dry for 72 hours or you'll seal in moisture. Laid many patios in winter. Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 There are no nhbc approved frost additives for morter. Use at own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
