FAQs

What is the size of each sett?

Each stone sett measures approximately 100 x 100 mm.

How much area does a full pack cover?

A full pack contains approximately 800 Limestone setts and covers an area of around 8 square metres.

Are these setts suitable for driveways?

Yes, Tandur Grey Tumbled Limestone Setts are designed to be durable and can withstand vehicle loads when installed on a properly prepared sub-base.

What is the benefit of the tumbled finish?

The tumbling process creates softly rounded edges and a naturally aged cobblestone finish, providing traditional character and a more comfortable walking surface.

Can I install these myself?

Installation requires a good understanding of landscaping and base preparation. While DIY is possible, professional installation is recommended for optimal results, especially for driveways.

How should I clean the limestone setts?

Regular sweeping is recommended. For cleaning, use water and a stiff brush. Mild, pH-neutral cleaners can be used for tougher stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Will the colour of the stone fade over time?

Natural limestone is durable and its colour is generally stable. It may develop a natural patina over time, which is characteristic of natural stone.

What laying patterns can be used?

These versatile setts can be installed in various patterns, including herringbone, stretcher bond, basket weave, or classic cobbled layouts.

Troubleshooting

Uneven surface after installation

Check the sub-base for adequate compaction and leveling. Ensure individual setts are seated firmly in the bedding layer and adjust as needed.

Weed growth between setts

Ensure joints are fully packed with appropriate jointing material. Regular sweeping and prompt removal of organic matter can help. Consider using a weed-resisting membrane beneath the sub-base.

Discoloration of the stone

Natural stone can vary slightly. For persistent staining, identify the source (e.g., moss, organic matter) and use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for natural stone. Avoid pressure washing at excessive force.

Setts appearing loose

The jointing material may have washed out. Re-fill the joints thoroughly with kiln-dried sand or a suitable polymeric sand and lightly compact.

Chipping or cracking of setts

This could indicate inadequate sub-base support or excessive point loads. Ensure the base is stable and that vehicles (if applicable) do not exceed the load-bearing capacity for the installation type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and performance of your Tandur Grey Tumbled Limestone Setts. It is recommended to install them on a well-compacted sub-base of hardcore, followed by a layer of sharp sand or grit for bedding. Ensure the base is adequately sloped for drainage. Setts should be laid tightly together, allowing for jointing material (such as kiln-dried sand or a suitable polymeric sand) to fill the gaps and lock them in place.

Compatibility:

These setts are compatible with most standard landscaping practices. They can be laid on concrete or a granular base. Compatibility with existing paving or structures should be assessed on a project-by-project basis, ensuring proper edging and support are provided. They are suitable for use with underfloor heating systems if installed with appropriate precautions and heat-resistant adhesives on a suitable base, though this is less common for external paving.

Care:

Care for your limestone setts by regularly sweeping away debris. For cleaning, use water and a stiff brush. Mild, pH-neutral cleaning agents can be used for tougher stains, but avoid harsh chemicals or acid-based cleaners which can damage the stone. Re-sanding of joints may be necessary periodically to maintain stability and prevent weed growth. Natural stone may develop a patina over time, which is considered part of its natural beauty.
