We practise a policy of continuous improvement across our entire product range and service offer. From time to time, improvements may influence product characteristics (weight, dimensions, shades, pack size etc.) and these changes may occur without notice. All product weights and dimensions quoted in this brochure are therefore nominal. For more precise weights/dimensions please request technical data sheets or visit brettpaving.co.uk to ensure the most current product information is being used.Please note that, although every care possible is taken to ensure the accuracy of colour swatches, differences may occur due to printing processes and variations between manufacturing batches.We recommend viewing samples and/or product installed to ensure a true representation.For all hard landscaping activities, we recommend that a comprehensive risk assessment and method statements are produced to ensure safe, sustainable and legal working practices are followed at all times.APPLICATION/SUITABILITYAll of our products are manufactured in accordance with the relevant manufacturing standards. This ensures that they can be subject to design, installation and maintenance in accordance with the relevant standard from the BS7533 suite of standards, as appropriate.Products featured in our ‘Gardens & Drives’ brochure are intended solely for use in domestic applications. Those in our ‘Inspiring Paving & Kerbs’ and ‘Specialist Kerbs & Permeable Paving’ brochures can be used for both domestic and commercial applications.Specific information relating to product applications is available from brettpaving.co.uk. Here you can access a wealth of information including our technical data sheets (TDS), CE Marking and/or Declaration of Performance (DoP) certificate as well as NBS clauses and BIM objects.We recommend any considerations relating to planning consents and permissions are satisfied.Brett are available to suggest and advise on suitable product(s) for different applications and provide guidance to ensure a successful installation.ORDERINGTo order Brett product, please contact your nearest Brett stockist.If you want to locate your nearest stockist, please contact us on 0345 60 80 577 or visit brettpaving.co.uk/where-to-buy/.For consistency of product, we recommend that: • Where stockist samples have been provided, the same stockist is used for ordering final product.• All product is sourced from the same batch, or immediate adjacent batches. For larger orders, a schedule will be required to ensure successful management of orders.• The total quantity required should be ordered and delivered at the same time to reduce the risk of product variation.Typically an allowance of 5% for wastage should be made. However consideration should be given to site design (e.g. a tight twisting pathway compared to an open plaza area) since this may influence the extent of cutting required and increase the site’s wastage level.For any direct-to-site orders, please advise us of any constraints, hazards or special considerations prior to delivery.If you require assistance calculating quantities, please call our Customer Services Team on 0345 60 80 570.DELIVERY AND INSTALLATIONWhilst every care is taken with your order, please check that it is in a satisfactory condition on arrival. If you have any issues with your order, please refer to your stockist immediately with the product and batch code that are printed on the packaging and explain your concerns to them.

For the best consistency of both colour and of jointing line accuracy, we recommend:• Mixing from at least three different packs as work progresses• Taking product ‘slice-by-slice’/vertically from each pack wherever possible.• Using string lines.Following the above guidelines will help distribute any minor variations over a larger area and ensure a visually consistent aesthetic over the completed installation. However some variation can still occur between individual units - particularly multi-coloured products and natural stone products. These features are to be expected and are intended to enhance the character and aesthetic of the completed installation.If you have any concerns about the installation of our products, please contact our Customer Services Team on 0345 60 80 570 before work starts. Our team is here to help you get the best from your products. If you or your installer proceed with installation despite your concern, this may well be deemed as acceptance of the product and unfortunately, may prejudice future responsibility for costs incurred stemming from remedial works.EARLY LIFE AND MAINTENANCEOnce paving has been installed, concerns may occasionally arise regarding the appearance of the paving. Visual changes can be due to number of issues originating from either the concrete and/or the manufacturing process.Many concerns will simply weather away, such as:• Efflorescence: The hydration process (the ongoing chemical reaction within the concrete which provides the concrete with its strength) can produce calcium carbonate (a white powdery residue) which may appear on the surface of products. This temporarily lightens the product but will typically weather away without reoccurrence.• Porosity: occasionally, individual blocks may appear damp and take longer to dry than others when installed. As the hydration continues in-situ, the capillaries within the concrete will gradually close and the product will dry to the same colour as others.• Aged and distressed products: For certain products, we distress the edges to offer an aged appearance and enhance the character of the paving. A dusty residue can be left on the blocks. This will weather away.• Differential curing: Dark patches occasionally appear on the surface of garden products. This may be differential curing and is caused by varying moisture levels within the flag drying at different rates. Like efflorescence, given time and the natural weathering process such patches will tone down and become less visible.• Aggregate contaminants: Very rarely concrete may be affected with Iron Pyrites and/or Lignite. These are both the result of naturally occurring constituents within the product raw materials which may result in localised discolouration of the surface of an individual unit. The phenomenon will not normally affect the performance of the product.In the unlikely event of any other concerns, please contact our Customer Services Team on 0345 60 80 570.All pavements should be subjected to periodic cleaning and maintenance. The frequency of this will depend on what is acceptable for the paving’s final application and the extent of exposure to soiling from the surrounding environment. Please see the ‘Essential Maintenance Guide’ on brettpaving.co.uk.Sealants are occasionally used to aid the longevity and appearance of the paving. If you are considering using a sealant, we recommend direct contact with the manufacturer/supplier to fully understand their product. We suggest care is taken when choosing these products and that at least the following is considered:• The slip skid characteristics of the paving are not adversely affected• Determine if a wet, glossy or matt finish will result• The re-application/maintenance requirements• Any health and safety requirements for application and ventilationBefore application, we finally suggest you are satisfied with the cleanliness and aesthetics of the paving, so that unwanted dirt and detritus do not become trapped once sealed. The ability of the product to weather may be influenced by the presence of a sealer.

ISO 9001 QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMBS EN ISO 9001: 2008 Quality Management System ensures consistency of both our product and also service levels ensuring your satisfaction.

ISO 14001 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSBS EN ISO 14001: 2004 Environmental Management System is designed to ensure that we minimise how Brett operations negatively affect the environment and continually improve our performance.

Create a space to suit your lifestyle.

If you have green fingers, you might want your garden to incorporate large planted areas: or if you don’t, then minimal maintenance could be the key. You may want to create the perfect ‘indoor/outdoor’ space for entertaining, or more personal hidden pockets of tranquillity.

Texture, edge details and the plan size of the product you choose all play a significant role in design.

A patio doesn’t have to use flag paving - smaller block products can be used to vary the sense of scale and add textural contrast, and additional detail such as edging, stepping stones or decorative stones can also be used to highlight or separate parts of your garden.

Even the smallest areas can be enhanced by hard landscaping products, providing a sense of clear space, drawing focus to specific features, or providing colour and textural contrast.

P A C K O P T I O N SOur garden paving is offered in a number of configurations to help you find the best options for your project.

Patio packs: Mixed size flags covering a set area in the same pack so that a number of attractive patterns and layouts can be achieved.

Linear patio packs: Mixed linear sizes in the same pack to create a stylish range of contemporary and aesthetic options. Linear and mixed size packs can be combined for even more options.

Single size packs: Packs containing all one size of flag.

UNDERSTANDING PAVING COLOURSGet your first impression through photos but always choose from actual samples.

Here is a quick overview to help you understand colour and the variations you may encounter. It’s great to look at photography but essential to choose by seeing the real thing.

G E T S A M P L E S T O B E C O L O U R S U R EYou can quickly and easily obtain a product sample in your desired colour from either your Brett Approved Installer or your local Brett stockist. If you don’t know who this would be we have a handy ‘Find a Stockist’ feature on our website at: brettpaving.co.uk/where-to-buy/

The sample will give you a good guide as to how your product will look once installed. However, variations in colour are still possible across our product range due to a number of different factors:

i. All concrete products are manufactured from a mixture of sand, cement, aggregate and pigment which can give variations in colour mix shades from batch to batch and site to site.

ii. Natural Stone products will vary in colour depending upon where it is quarried from and how the stone is processed prior to arriving with you.

These variations are impossible to prevent but do bring character to your paving.

When you choose a colour from a photograph there are many factors that can change how the product looks: what time of day the photograph was actually taken; climatic conditions and the printing of the photography in brochures can all cause variations.

Concrete paving is a man made product and is available in two generic types as follows:

S I N G L E C O L O U R SThese are the easiest to get to grips with. Each single colour product uses a single pigment to colour the concrete it’s made from, or, in the case of ‘Natural’, no pigment at all which means it can vary the most in terms of colour depending upon the aggregates used in its manufacture.

The single colour products available from Brett Landscaping are Natural, Charcoal, Buff and Red.

M U LT I - C O L O U R SAny other colour from the Brett Landscaping concrete paving range will be a multi-coloured product, these all use more than one pigment within the manufacturing process to get the ideal colour mix. Some of our products, for example Aura, also have a sparkle in the aggregate to complement the colour blending.

These colours go randomly into multi-colours; for example, the ever popular Brindle is a mixture of red and charcoal pigments as shown below.

If we look more closely, we can see that the result of the manufacturing process is blocks that vary from one end of the spectrum through to the other. Here we can clearly see four distinct colour mixes.

Typically, each pack will include a random selection of these colour mixes. Packs can visually look quite different when they arrive on site, but once mixed together, the result is a naturally good looking, multi-coloured driveway.

Because of these facts, when getting samples of a ‘multi-colour’ product it is imperative to get more than one block (a minimum of three is recommended for the final decision maker and supplied as standard via the Brett samples service).

This colour mixing produces more variations when the paving block colour has three pigments randomly placed in it. This is the case in our Autumn Gold and Rustic Bronze colours.

Colours can also appear differently if blocks have been tumbled – such as Aura or Alpha – which give an aged appearance but can also affect colour appearance.

N AT U R A L S T O N EIt is far more difficult to be exact when it comes to defining colours within any naturally occurring material because there are so many interacting elements in the multi-million year process by which the material is formed.

Broadly speaking there are three types of natural stone:

1 Sedimentary rocks including Sandstone and Limestone. 2 Igneous rocks such as Granite. 3 Metamorphic rocks such as Slate.

Igneous rocks tend to be very dense and uniform in appearance, making them ideal for applications where consistency is essential – for example to complement sharp modern designs.

In contrast, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks have far more variations in both colour and texture; for instance naturally occurring iron oxides which generally provide the red/brown colours found in a natural sedimentary stone product such as Sandstone.

These minerals can create veins which run through a rock, producing amazing patterns. This can be further enhanced by fossil deposits – as frequently seen within Fossil Mint – which add further interest to an area paved with natural stone.

These variations are not faults in the product but naturally occurring phenomena which give long lasting beauty to natural stone paving – a beauty that generally improves over time as the stone weathers in to its surroundings.

Across the range of Brett Natural Stone paving the other factor which can impact upon colour is the effect of processing. For example, the appearance of the Sunrise colour option within our Flamed and Riven Sandstone ranges is dramatically different between the two stone textures.

These variations can be used to create amazing designs where the differences can be exploited to provide dramatic highlights and contrasts within a paved area.

This section is intended to explain how you should view colours when you are selecting the best one for you. Let’s start by looking at two images showing the same colour (Silver Haze) at two different locations, shot at different times of day, and showing different product types.

The images illustrate how colours can differ due to climatic conditions, but also how the different manufacturing processes and finishes involved can influence appearance – for instance, Regatta has a riven surface to give a more natural aesthetic, whilst Beta has a smooth surface – all of these factors can alter the appearance of colour.

Compact the area using a Vibrating Plate Compactor, making sure the entire area has been compressed at least twice. Check again for any sinking areas. If this occurs, an extra depth of sub-base material should be considered.

Once the sub-base is smooth, flat and to the appropriate level, check the drainage slope with a straight edge and spirit level.

When using the vibrating plate machinery please follow all manufacturer’s guidelines including acceptable levels of exposure and in particular use ear protection.

P R E P A R I N G T H E M I X A N D L A Y I N G P A V I N G F L A G SWhen preparing the cement mix, please avoid direct handling of cement, always cover your skin.

Either using the cement mixer or wheelbarrow and shovel, prepare a mortar mix of 5 parts building sand, 1 part cement and add water to create a doughy consistency.

To check this is correct use the ‘snow ball’ test. Pick up a handful of mortar mix and squeeze into a ball, when you let go the mix should retain its shape without oozing water or falling apart.

Starting in the corner, trowel a bed of mortar to cover the area intended for the first paving flag. The depth of the mortar bed should be approximately 35-40mm. Level off but ensure the mortar is not compact as you want the flag to sit within the mix about 10-15mm deep.

Remember when lifting and carrying paving units always consider the weight before attempting to lift. If it is heavy, get help. Take care not to trap fingers whilst handling paving units.

Lower the first paving flag into position, holding it diagonally will make it easier to lower it. Settle it cleanly into the mortar without sliding it about so a good bond forms between the mortar and paving flag.

Line up the paving flag with the string lines and gently tap it into the mortar using the rubber mallet.

Repeat the process, continuously checking against the string line. Also, use the spirit level to check the surface is at the correct level.

Check that no edges are standing up proud simply by running your hand over the joints. Ensure consistent gaps, ideally of 10-15mm between the slabs.

Leave the slabs for at least 24 hours so that the sand cement mix can set.

Hints & Tips: Clean mortar spillage immediately to prevent staining and if possible joints should be pointed on a dry day.

C U T T I N GGreat care is needed and it is essential to use equipment specially designed for this operation. Diamond disc cutters with water suppression are ideal. They are readily available at your local equipment hire store.

Check you are wearing good personal protective equipment for this activity.

Mark the paving flag surface with the intended cutting line for guidance. Place the paving flag on a platform and carefully saw using a diamond disc cutter.

When using cutting equipment please follow all manufacturer’s guidelines including acceptable levels of exposure and in particular use eye protection.

P O I N T I N GYou can either buy ready mix compound or, using the shovel and trowel, prepare a jointing mix of 5 parts building sand, 1 part cement and add water to create a damp, semi-dry consistency.

Firm it into the joints using the trowel and finish with the pointing iron, compacting the mix into the gaps and producing neat grooves.

Carefully remove any excess pointing material using the trowel and yard broom, ensuring no residue is left on the slab surface.

Other chemical jointing compounds are available, contact our Customer Services Team on 0345 60 80 570 for more information.

Here are some examples of the steps required to cover the most basic patio paving installation. If you need any further information on our products or installation call our Customer Services Team on 0345 60 80 570 or email [email protected]

Hints & Tips: Arrange for material to be stacked on a dry base and allow enough room for mixing concrete and mortar.

NB. Paving products can be heavy. Assess the safest method of installing them.

B E F O R E Y O U S T A R TDraw a simple plan of your home and garden, sketching where you would like areas to be paved. Once your plan has been finalised, lay out lengths of string to mark out the dimensions of your proposed patio in position. When you are happy with this, let the digging commence.

S I T E P R E P A R A T I O NMark the pegs beforehand to indicate the depth and remember to allow for a gradual slope away from your property. Using the tape measure mark out the patio area. Check the corners, using a builders square. Removing topsoil is easily done using an edging iron and

cutting the turf into manageable squares. Simply scoop with a spade and remove using a wheelbarrow and skip.

The excavated depth should be 150mm or 6 inches from the finished patio level. Measure the final depth of excavation using the pegs and strings.

Check the depth at the edge using a tape measure. Compact the soil with the Vibrating Plate Compactor and re-check the overall depths and slope of the area using the pegs and spirit level.

If you find soft spots in the soil, further excavation may be required. These spots can then be filled and consolidated with sub-base material.

Check all 90° corners and depths thoroughly before putting down the sub-base material.

When using excavation machinery please follow the manufacturer’s guidelines including acceptable levels of exposure and in particular use ear protection.

T H E S U B - B A S EHaving tipped the sub-base material into the laying area, rake into position to a consistent depth of 100mm or 4 inches.

Once the area is covered, check the depth using a spirit level, pegs and string line.

No matter what your project is, or what materials you are using, if you have decided to do it yourself there are a number of factors you need to be aware of and important steps you need to take.

The edge restraint can either be a kerb unit or a thick paving block (at least 60mm). Mortar these units into the foundation using the trowel and rubber mallet and again using the concrete, form a haunch up at least half the block height.

Hints & Tips: Falls are crucial to traditional block paving. It should never be installed flat. Always ensure a gradient of at least 1 in 60 falling towards the drainage system and paving height that is always 150mm below the house damp proof course.

THE SUB-BASEFurther to your specific requirements, apply the sub-base of MOT Type 1 with the rake and thoroughly compact using the vibrating plate compactor in layers of 50mm until your desired level is reached.

Apply a 35mm level of slightly damp, coarse sharp sand and compact down, again using the vibrating plate compactor, to an approximate depth of 25mm.

A further 10mm layer of sharp sand then needs to be raked on top and using the screeding rails and string line, levelled to the correct falls.

When using vibrating plate machinery please follow all manufacturer’s guidelines including acceptable levels of exposure and in particular use ear protection.

INSTALLATIONRemember when lifting and carrying paving units, always consider the weight before attempting to lift. If it is heavy, take care not to trap your fingers whilst handling the paving units.

Ideally starting from a right angle or straight edge, place your blocks on top of the laying course, ensuring that they sit 5mm proud of the finished level.

Following your desired laying pattern, ensure that you pick blocks from three or more different packs at any one time in order to minimise the risk of colour patching. We also recommend picking blocks vertically from each pack (slice-by-slice), where possible for the same reason.

Once all of the blocks are laid into position you will need to cut a number to complete the area. Cutting blocks is best done using a block splitter or diamond disc cutter. Wherever possible, always obtain water suppression cutting equipment.

When using cutting equipment please follow all manufacturer’s guidelines including acceptable levels of exposure and in particular use eye protection.

FINISHINGSubsequently top up the sand and re-compact to ensure that no joints are left unfilled.

Please note, if you are using the Brett Aura range of paving blocks, Brett Permeable Chippings need to be applied in this finishing process.

Hints & Tips: Always keep a bag of kiln dried sand around after you have finished your job, as sand will come out of the joints in the initial life of the area. Regularly top up until it settles in the joints.

B E F O R E Y O U S T A R TDraw a simple plan of your home and garden, sketching where you would like areas to be paved. Once your plan has been finalised, lay out lengths of string to mark out the dimensions of your proposed driveway in position. When you are happy with this, let the digging commence.

Hints & Tips: Have an eye on the weather. Installing block paving is extremely difficult in the rain due to its effect on the sands and aggregates. Therefore plan ahead and, if rain is likely, protect large areas either with plastic sheets or even a gazebo.

S I T E P R E P A R A T I O NDepending on the size of the area, using the shovel or mini excavator dig out to the advised level. This will depend on your existing surfaces, our Customer Services team will be able to advise as to the appropriate depth.

If you find soft spots in the soil further excavation may be required. These spots can then be filled and consolidated with sub-base material.

Remove all waste materials from the site using a wheelbarrow and skip.

When using excavation machinery please follow all manufacturers’ guidelines including acceptable levels of exposure and in particular use ear protection.

E D G E R E S T R A I N T SWhen preparing the cement mix, please avoid direct handling of cement, always cover your skin.

Using the cement mixer, mix 1 part cement and 6 parts ballast to create a concrete foundation for the edge restraint that is 100mm thick.

Ensure that the edge restraint unit that is to be placed on the foundation will sit at the required finished level using the string line and spirit level.

The professionals make laying block paving look easy, but with the right materials and some manual work it is not quite the major undertaking that you may have first thought. Follow this simple step by step example guide to laying a non-permeable driveway.
