Troubleshooting

Uneven surface after installation

Weed growth between setts

Ensure jointing material is fully compacted. Re-grout joints with appropriate sand or a polymeric jointing compound. Regularly sweep or sweep and wash the area.

Discoloration or staining

Identify the source of the stain. Clean with appropriate stone cleaner. For persistent discoloration, consider sealing the surface after cleaning and drying.

Cracking or chipping of setts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and performance of your sandstone setts. A well-prepared sub-base, typically compacted hardcore followed by a layer of sand or ballast, is essential.
