How do you mix and apply Flowpoint Fine?
- Prepare a safe area for excess grout: Ensure you have somewhere to push excess slurry grout, such as an area of lifted grass. Never push excess Flowpoint into drains — it is rapid-setting and will create a permanent blockage.
- Check paving slabs and joints: Ensure they are free from dirt, debris, and pooled water. Use a leaf blower if needed to remove excess water.
- Dampen slabs and joints: Spray lightly with water so they are damp but not saturated.
- Add water: Pour 3.4 litres of clean water into a bucket, then add the 20kg tub of Flowpoint Fine Paving Grout.
- Mix thoroughly: Use a paddle mixer or mix by hand for 3–5 minutes until smooth and lump-free.
- Apply immediately: Ensure slabs remain damp (mist if needed), then carefully push Flowpoint into the joints using a neoprene rubber squeegee.
- Monitor temperature: Flowpoint sets within 15 minutes at 20°C. Hotter temperatures accelerate setting, colder temperatures slow it. Remember, paver surfaces can be hotter than the air temperature — check grout firmness carefully.
- Top-up joints: Move grout across the paving surface to fill any joints where the mortar has sunk.
- Remove excess grout: Once joints are full, use a rubber squeegee to remove grout from the surface. Keep slabs lightly misted to prevent premature hardening.
- Clean hardened grout: Use a brush with water, or alternatively a pressure washer or sponge machine, to remove any grout that has set on the surface.
- Final cleaning: After about 30 minutes (finger or thumb test), clean remaining spots of mortar from the slabs, repeating with clean water as necessary.
- Traffic-ready: Once clean and dry, the patio is ready for foot traffic in 1 hour, and vehicular traffic in 4 hours.

Flowpoint Fine Natural Grey — Full Pallet Deal: 40 x 20KG Tubs | Free Delivery
'The Slurry Grout That Pays for Itself in Labour Savings — Joints from 2mm, No Visible Aggregate, Sets in 15 Minutes'
If you're buying Flowpoint Fine Natural Grey for a large project, a full pallet of 40 x 20KG tubs is the most cost-effective way to buy — and with free standard delivery to England & Wales included, it's the one to go for when you know your quantities. A small charge applies for Scotland — call us and we'll sort it.
Flowpoint Fine is the most specialist grade in the Flowpoint range. Unlike Standard, Smooth or ECO — all of which have a visible aggregate finish — Flowpoint Fine has no visible aggregate at all. The result is a super-smooth, tile-like joint in clean, neutral Natural Grey, particularly well suited to porcelain, pale natural stone and inside-outside flooring schemes. Joints from just 2mm. Sets in 15 minutes at 20°C. Open to vehicles in 4 hours. Lasts up to 40 years.
We're a small, family-run business — I'm Cleo, the owner, with over 25 years in the construction industry, having worked with businesses such as Tarmac and Instarmac. I work alongside a team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals. When customers take the time to get in touch after a visit or an order, it means a great deal to all of us.

What Customers Say
"Hi Cleo, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for today for all yours, Richard, Chris & Nick's help, it was wonderful to meet you all and we all enjoyed the day thoroughly. You made us feel at ease and I absolutely love Flowpoint Fine. Lisa and myself are over the moon after meeting you both — you are welcome down to us anytime. We look forward to speaking with you soon."
— Colin Chambers, via email (October 2022)
"Be patient and hold your nerve so you don't wash the product off too soon. Too many contractors start washing off when the product starts to dry on the slabs. You need to keep the slabs damp with a mist of water so it doesn't go off on them too soon. Always make sure Flowpoint Fine is set in the joint before washing it off — just a little thumb test. Once firm, then begin washing off."
— Gareth Wilson, Hard Landscaping Expert & RHS Award Winner (30 years in the trade, 30 RHS show garden awards)
What Makes Flowpoint Fine Different?
Flowpoint Fine sits at the top of the Flowpoint range in terms of finish quality. Here's how it compares:
| Feature | Flowpoint Standard / ECO | Flowpoint Smooth | Flowpoint Fine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum joint width | 5mm | 3mm | 2mm |
| Aggregate finish | Visible aggregate | Fine aggregate | No visible aggregate |
| Surface finish | Textured | Smooth | Super smooth / tile-like |
| Unit size | 25kg bag | 25kg bag | 20kg tub |
| Water ratio | 4.25L per 25kg | 4.25L per 25kg | 3.4L per 20kg |
| Best for | General paving, granite setts | Porcelain, narrow joints | Porcelain, smooth stone, inside-outside |
Common Flowpoint Myths — Busted
| Myth | The Truth |
|---|---|
| Flowpoint Fine is just Smooth with a different name | Not at all. Different formulation, different water ratio (3.4L per 20kg vs 4.25L per 25kg), 2mm minimum joint vs 3mm, and a tile-like finish Smooth cannot replicate. |
| Flowpoint sticks to pavers | It doesn't set instantly. Keep the area damp and plan around the weather — particularly in hot temperatures. |
| Flowpoint causes cracking and low spots | This happens when Flowpoint is washed off too early. Use the thumb test — if grout is still bleeding from the joint, it's too early. |
| Flowpoint requires specialist equipment | A 110v paddle mixer and a long-handled neoprene squeegee are all you need beyond standard paving tools. |
| Slabs must sit for 28 days before grouting | The key is ensuring the bedding mortar has properly cured with no visible dampness. Always follow manufacturer guidance. |
| Flowpoint causes efflorescence | When applied correctly, it should not. Problems are more likely when the bed hasn't dried sufficiently or too much water is used in the mix. |
Flowpoint Grades & Colours — Which One Do You Need?
| Grade | Colours Available | Joint Width | Joint Depth |

| Flowpoint Smooth | Natural Grey & Charcoal | 3–50mm | 20–200mm |
| Flowpoint Fine | Natural Grey & Charcoal | 2–50mm | 20–200mm |
| Porcelpoint (Fine in Limestone & Stone Grey) | Stone Grey & Limestone | 2–50mm | 20–200mm |

- Add 3.4L water to bucket, gradually add powder, mix 3–5 minutes with paddle mixer until smooth.
- Mix only what you can apply in approx. 4 minutes. Never store mixed mortar or add extra water.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is UltraScape Flowpoint Fine?
A rapid-set slurry jointing mortar with high-fluid consistency for rigid, bound, void-free joints. Joints from 2–50mm, sets in 15 minutes at 20°C, no visible aggregate, BS 7533 compliant, lasts up to 40 years.
What size joints can it be used for?
2mm to 50mm wide, 20–200mm deep in a single application. The 2mm minimum makes it the go-to for tight-jointed porcelain.
Can it be used on porcelain?
Yes — designed for it. Flows into joints from 2mm without bridging. Use Tile Rite Patio Prep to protect porcelain against grout haze.
How quickly does it set?
15 minutes at 20°C. In hot weather, work in the cooler part of the day. Always thumb test before washing off.
How long before vehicles can use the area?
4 hours at 20°C. Foot traffic after 1 hour.
How much water do I add?
3.4 litres per 20KG tub — not the 4.25L used by other Flowpoint grades. Critical: wrong ratio affects finish and strength.
How do I know when to wash off?
Thumb test — joint feels firm, no bleed. Keep slabs damp with a light mist. Washing too early is the most common mistake on Flowpoint Fine.
Can it be used on granite setts?
Yes — cleaner, more defined finish than aggregate grades. Coverage approx. 1.5–2m² per tub on setts.
Can it be used on black limestone?
With a temporary pre-sealer (e.g. Tile Rite Patio Prep), yes. Without one, oxidisation can occur. Call us if unsure.
Is it permeable?
No — non-permeable cementitious grout. Must be applied on a solid, non-permeable bed.
Can it be used in the rain?
Yes — light rain is fine. Clear standing water from joints first.
Do I need to pre-seal before grouting?
With a pre-sealer (e.g. Tile Rite Patio Prep): apply in advance, skip the water pre-soak.
Without a sealer: wet paving thoroughly, remove all standing water. Damp, not waterlogged.
What's the shelf life?
8 months from manufacture (printed on tub), stored sealed in cool, dry, frost-free conditions between 5°C and 30°C.
How much do I need per m²?
Approx. 11–12m² per tub (natural stone); 30–40m² (large-format porcelain, 3mm joints); 1.5–2m² (granite setts). Use the calculator on the single tub page for a precise figure.
Why is Flowpoint Fine in a tub, not a bag?
The 20KG tub format is specific to Flowpoint Fine — all other grades come in 25KG bags. Product is supplied as a bag inside the tub — check the inner bag colour matches the lid before use.

How do you mix and apply Flowpoint Fine?
- Prepare a safe area for excess grout: Ensure you have somewhere to push excess slurry grout, such as an area of lifted grass. Never push excess Flowpoint into drains — it is rapid-setting and will create a permanent blockage.
- Check paving slabs and joints: Ensure they are free from dirt, debris, and pooled water. Use a leaf blower if needed to remove excess water.
- Dampen slabs and joints: Spray lightly with water so they are damp but not saturated.
- Add water: Pour 3.4 litres of clean water into a bucket, then add the 20kg tub of Flowpoint Fine Paving Grout.
- Mix thoroughly: Use a paddle mixer or mix by hand for 3–5 minutes until smooth and lump-free.
- Apply immediately: Ensure slabs remain damp (mist if needed), then carefully push Flowpoint into the joints using a neoprene rubber squeegee.
- Monitor temperature: Flowpoint sets within 15 minutes at 20°C. Hotter temperatures accelerate setting, colder temperatures slow it. Remember, paver surfaces can be hotter than the air temperature — check grout firmness carefully.
- Top-up joints: Move grout across the paving surface to fill any joints where the mortar has sunk.
- Remove excess grout: Once joints are full, use a rubber squeegee to remove grout from the surface. Keep slabs lightly misted to prevent premature hardening.
- Clean hardened grout: Use a brush with water, or alternatively a pressure washer or sponge machine, to remove any grout that has set on the surface.
- Final cleaning: After about 30 minutes (finger or thumb test), clean remaining spots of mortar from the slabs, repeating with clean water as necessary.
- Traffic-ready: Once clean and dry, the patio is ready for foot traffic in 1 hour, and vehicular traffic in 4 hours.

Flowpoint Fine Natural Grey — Full Pallet Deal: 40 x 20KG Tubs | Free Delivery
'The Slurry Grout That Pays for Itself in Labour Savings — Joints from 2mm, No Visible Aggregate, Sets in 15 Minutes'
If you're buying Flowpoint Fine Natural Grey for a large project, a full pallet of 40 x 20KG tubs is the most cost-effective way to buy — and with free standard delivery to England & Wales included, it's the one to go for when you know your quantities. A small charge applies for Scotland — call us and we'll sort it.
Flowpoint Fine is the most specialist grade in the Flowpoint range. Unlike Standard, Smooth or ECO — all of which have a visible aggregate finish — Flowpoint Fine has no visible aggregate at all. The result is a super-smooth, tile-like joint in clean, neutral Natural Grey, particularly well suited to porcelain, pale natural stone and inside-outside flooring schemes. Joints from just 2mm. Sets in 15 minutes at 20°C. Open to vehicles in 4 hours. Lasts up to 40 years.

I work alongside a team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals. When customers take the time to get in touch after a visit or an order, it means a great deal to all of us.

What Customers Say
"Hi Cleo, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for today for all yours, Richard, Chris & Nick's help, it was wonderful to meet you all and we all enjoyed the day thoroughly. You made us feel at ease and I absolutely love Flowpoint Fine. Lisa and myself are over the moon after meeting you both — you are welcome down to us anytime. We look forward to speaking with you soon."
— Colin Chambers, via email (October 2022)
"Be patient and hold your nerve so you don't wash the product off too soon. Too many contractors start washing off when the product starts to dry on the slabs. You need to keep the slabs damp with a mist of water so it doesn't go off on them too soon. Always make sure Flowpoint Fine is set in the joint before washing it off — just a little thumb test. Once firm, then begin washing off."
— Gareth Wilson, Hard Landscaping Expert & RHS Award Winner (30 years in the trade, 30 RHS show garden awards)
What Makes Flowpoint Fine Different?
Flowpoint Fine sits at the top of the Flowpoint range in terms of finish quality. Here's how it compares:
| Feature | Flowpoint Standard / ECO | Flowpoint Smooth | Flowpoint Fine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum joint width | 5mm | 3mm | 2mm |
| Aggregate finish | Visible aggregate | Fine aggregate | No visible aggregate |
| Surface finish | Textured | Smooth | Super smooth / tile-like |
| Unit size | 25kg bag | 25kg bag | 20kg tub |
| Water ratio | 4.25L per 25kg | 4.25L per 25kg | 3.4L per 20kg |
| Best for | General paving, granite setts | Porcelain, narrow joints | Porcelain, smooth stone, inside-outside |
Common Flowpoint Myths — Busted
| Myth | The Truth |
|---|---|
| Flowpoint Fine is just Smooth with a different name | Not at all. Different formulation, different water ratio (3.4L per 20kg vs 4.25L per 25kg), 2mm minimum joint vs 3mm, and a tile-like finish Smooth cannot replicate. |
| Flowpoint sticks to pavers | It doesn't set instantly. Keep the area damp and plan around the weather — particularly in hot temperatures. |
| Flowpoint causes cracking and low spots | This happens when Flowpoint is washed off too early. Use the thumb test — if grout is still bleeding from the joint, it's too early. |
| Flowpoint requires specialist equipment | A 110v paddle mixer and a long-handled neoprene squeegee are all you need beyond standard paving tools. |
| Slabs must sit for 28 days before grouting | The key is ensuring the bedding mortar has properly cured with no visible dampness. Always follow manufacturer guidance. |
| Flowpoint causes efflorescence | When applied correctly, it should not. Problems are more likely when the bed hasn't dried sufficiently or too much water is used in the mix. |

How to Apply — Quick Reference
Important: always use 3.4L per 20KG, not the Standard grade ratio of 4.25L.
- Clear joints of debris. Pre-soak paving and remove all standing water (leaf blower is ideal) — or apply a temporary pre-sealer and skip the pre-soak.
- Add 3.4L water to bucket, gradually add powder, mix 3–5 minutes with paddle mixer until smooth.
- Mix only what you can apply in approx. 4 minutes. Never store mixed mortar or add extra water.
- Pour over paving, squeegee into joints with a long-handled neoprene squeegee. Keep surface damp throughout.
- Thumb test to confirm joints are firm before washing off. Never wash too early.
- Clean down with brush and copious clean water. No mortar to remain on surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is UltraScape Flowpoint Fine?
A rapid-set slurry jointing mortar with high-fluid consistency for rigid, bound, void-free joints. Joints from 2–50mm, sets in 15 minutes at 20°C, no visible aggregate, BS 7533 compliant, lasts up to 40 years.
What size joints can it be used for?
2mm to 50mm wide, 20–200mm deep in a single application. The 2mm minimum makes it the go-to for tight-jointed porcelain.
Can it be used on porcelain?
Yes — designed for it. Flows into joints from 2mm without bridging. Use Tile Rite Patio Prep to protect porcelain against grout haze.
How quickly does it set?
15 minutes at 20°C. In hot weather, work in the cooler part of the day. Always thumb test before washing off.
How long before vehicles can use the area?
4 hours at 20°C. Foot traffic after 1 hour.
How much water do I add?
3.4 litres per 20KG tub — not the 4.25L used by other Flowpoint grades. Critical: wrong ratio affects finish and strength.
How do I know when to wash off?
Thumb test — joint feels firm, no bleed. Keep slabs damp with a light mist. Washing too early is the most common mistake on Flowpoint Fine.
Can it be used on granite setts?
Yes — cleaner, more defined finish than aggregate grades. Coverage approx. 1.5–2m² per tub on setts.
Can it be used on black limestone?
With a temporary pre-sealer (e.g. Tile Rite Patio Prep), yes. Without one, oxidisation can occur. Call us if unsure.
Is it permeable?
No — non-permeable cementitious grout. Must be applied on a solid, non-permeable bed.
Can it be used in the rain?
Yes — light rain is fine. Clear standing water from joints first.
Do I need to pre-seal before grouting?
With a pre-sealer (e.g. Tile Rite Patio Prep): apply in advance, skip the water pre-soak.
Without a sealer: wet paving thoroughly, remove all standing water. Damp, not waterlogged.
What's the shelf life?
8 months from manufacture (printed on tub), stored sealed in cool, dry, frost-free conditions between 5°C and 30°C.
How much do I need per m²?
Approx. 11–12m² per tub (natural stone); 30–40m² (large-format porcelain, 3mm joints); 1.5–2m² (granite setts). Use the calculator on the single tub page for a precise figure.
Why is Flowpoint Fine in a tub, not a bag?
The 20KG tub format is specific to Flowpoint Fine — all other grades come in 25KG bags. Product is supplied as a bag inside the tub — check the inner bag colour matches the lid before use.

How do you mix and apply Flowpoint Fine?
- Prepare a safe area for excess grout: Ensure you have somewhere to push excess slurry grout, such as an area of lifted grass. Never push excess Flowpoint into drains — it is rapid-setting and will create a permanent blockage.
- Check paving slabs and joints: Ensure they are free from dirt, debris, and pooled water. Use a leaf blower if needed to remove excess water.
- Dampen slabs and joints: Spray lightly with water so they are damp but not saturated.
- Add water: Pour 3.4 litres of clean water into a bucket, then add the 20kg tub of Flowpoint Fine Paving Grout.
- Mix thoroughly: Use a paddle mixer or mix by hand for 3–5 minutes until smooth and lump-free.
- Apply immediately: Ensure slabs remain damp (mist if needed), then carefully push Flowpoint into the joints using a neoprene rubber squeegee.
- Monitor temperature: Flowpoint sets within 15 minutes at 20°C. Hotter temperatures accelerate setting, colder temperatures slow it. Remember, paver surfaces can be hotter than the air temperature — check grout firmness carefully.
- Top-up joints: Move grout across the paving surface to fill any joints where the mortar has sunk.
- Remove excess grout: Once joints are full, use a rubber squeegee to remove grout from the surface. Keep slabs lightly misted to prevent premature hardening.
- Clean hardened grout: Use a brush with water, or alternatively a pressure washer or sponge machine, to remove any grout that has set on the surface.
- Final cleaning: After about 30 minutes (finger or thumb test), clean remaining spots of mortar from the slabs, repeating with clean water as necessary.
- Traffic-ready: Once clean and dry, the patio is ready for foot traffic in 1 hour, and vehicular traffic in 4 hours.
