ULTRASCAPE -

Mortar Paving System
for Streetscape
projects
Situated in South West London, the Borough of Wandsworth is home
to 2 major train stations, Wandsworth Common and Wandsworth Town.
The latter has received major urban regeneration using the Ultrascape
mortar paving system.
The improvements to the station’s entrance and surrounding area were
made using Pro-Bed HS bedding mortar, Pro-Prime slurry primer and
Flowpoint flowable grout. Making up Ultrascape’s renowned mortar
paving system, the 3 products are proven to be BS7533 compliant under UKAS testing methods. This British Standard promotes professional results that can give a minimum construction life of 40 years. What’s
more, when using the system the paving can be opened to traffic 4
hours after grouting.
Ultrascape Pro-Bed HS is a fine bedding mortar that can be laid from
10mm to 75mm. The product creates the ideal foundation for laying
paving elements where a rigid or bound base is required.
Ultrascape Pro-Prime slurry primer is specifically formulated to provide
an exceptional bond of greater than 2N/mm2 between all types of
stone. It only requires the simple addition of water before it can be
applied to the stone elements.
This project not only included the construction of footpaths, but also
a road crossing outside of the station and a speed table in Old York
Road, which runs alongside the station’s entrance and demonstrates
the system’s compatibility with vehicle as well as foot traffic.

Ultrascape Flowpoint revives
ancient monument in Swansea
Swansea Castle ruins
from the 13th century still
stand today, attracting
tourists all year round. The
outside castle areas were
restored recently using
Ultrascape Flowpoint.
Longstanding Ultrascape
customer, Alun Griffiths
secured the contract to
complete the paving renovation around the castle
ruins. Impressed with the
high quality of Ultrascape
materials and their ease
of use, Alun Griffiths
opted to use the BS 7533
compliant flowable grout
Flowpoint.

The material needed for this project was purchased from
Ultrascape stockist, Burdens and the paving stones were
supplied by BBS Granite Concepts.

Attractive village footway grouted
with Ultrascape Flowpoint
Local residents of Wiltshire’s picturesque village Sherston, are delighted

In need of repair, this popular pedestrian route through Sherston village
