Q: What is jointing compound?

A: Jointing compound is a ready-to-use or mixable material used to fill the joints between paving slabs, blocks, or tiles. It sets hard, helping to stabilise patios and paths, prevent weed growth, and improve water run-off. We stock options suitable for both garden landscaping and heavy-use public areas.

Q: What types of jointing compound do you stock?

A: We stock a range of paving and patio jointing compounds, including:

• All-weather jointing compound – ideal for UK conditions, can be applied in wet or dry weather

• Porcelain grout – fine-grain options for narrow joints and modern slabs

• Paving grout – suitable for natural stone, concrete slabs, and block paving

• Setting sands and resin-based compounds – quick to apply and resistant to cracking

You’ll also find priming slurry, like Pavestone Priming Slurry, for helping porcelain tiles and slabs bond correctly before grouting.

Q: Which jointing compound should I use for a patio?

A: Choose a patio jointing compound based on your slab type and joint width:

• For porcelain or smooth slabs, use a fine porcelain grout, like Azpects EasyGrout Porcelain Jointing Compound

• For natural stone or concrete paving, use a general-purpose paving grout, like GftK Patio Grout

• For wet or colder weather, go with an all-weather jointing compound, like Sika FastFix All Weather Jointing Compound

Ask at your local branch if you’re unsure what will suit your project – we’re happy to help.

Q: What colours of jointing compound are available?

A: Jointing compounds come in a range of colours to match different paving styles. Popular shades include:

• Natural

• Grey / Stone Grey

• Buff / Sandstone

• Anthracite or Charcoal

Check the product label or tin to see which colour is right for your slabs.

Q: How do I use jointing compound on a patio?

A: Here’s a quick guide:

1. Prep the surface – slabs should be clean and damp

2. Pour the compound onto the paving

3. Brush into the joints using a stiff brush or squeegee

4. Compact the compound into joints to reduce gaps

5. Sweep off excess and mist with water (if required)

6. Allow to cure as per product instructions

Use pointing tools like the Azpects EasyTileAlign Patio Levelling Caps or Spacer Posts to help guarantee a smooth level patio. Always follow the manufacturer’s guide – drying and application vary depending on the product and weather.

Q: Can jointing compound be used in wet weather?

A: Yes, many of our all-weather jointing compounds can be applied in light rain or damp conditions, so the unpredictable UK weather won’t stop you finishing your paving job. Always check the product label to confirm.

Q: Do you offer delivery on jointing compounds?

A: Yes, we offer UK-wide delivery on all our jointing compounds, grouts and slurries. Order online or speak to your local JT Atkinson branch for help with stock, trade quantities, or collection.
