From crappy old bricks to beautiful patio in 6 steps

Using old reclaimed bricks to make a paved patio in six steps, took about two days to complete and used 800 reclaimed bricks.

Great job! The only step I'd skip is the Building Control inspection. That's a violation of your human rights. They can put that inspection where the sun don't shine.

What's the benefit of using kiln dried sand vs play sand or polymeric?

[alastairchestnutt]

Looks great. From my experience upkeep is time consuming for larger areas. It does look good when we’ll maintained.

Spectacular!

How did you keep the herringbone straight with the salvaged bricks?

[lilicappae]

Lovely job! Which machine did you use to remove the old cement from the bricks please?

As a Building control inspector myself. I can tell you we do not need to see patios and groundworks unless its on a new build or extension site and theres potential for breaching the DPC. If it's just a patio, Building control shou;dn't even be involved.

Have you had any issues with weeds afterwards? I've just finished a 8 metre path with 45deg herringbone which has a slight s shape and going up a hill. I have wet sharp sand and thinking about putting a bit of cement in it so it hardens and stops the weeds coming through.

Hi Paul, nice job.
From what decade were these reclaimed bricks? Handmade or wirecut, etc?
2 years on, what percentage have now blown from the frost due to contact with ground?
Or did you find a good product to seal them with?

[gammalagaga]

Could I do this on top of a concrete area?

What's that tool you're using in step 1?

Oh god... those bricks needed a cleaning first 🤢

Looks good, but you really explained nothing! The music was also terrible.
