London Cabbies Moving Swiftly Again Thanks To Ultrascape

The renowned Ultrascape BS 7533 compliant mortar paving system has been used on the new Crossrail Taxi Rank at Paddington station.

The project encompassed both landscape work to interior and exterior areas, and involved laying over 3000 square metres of granite setts.

The granite was bedded using Ultrascape Pro-Bed HS; slurry primer Pro-Prime was used in addition to provide an exceptional bond, and finally Flowpoint was applied to grout all joints.

The Szerelmey team worked through the night to complete the project. The Ultrascape mortar paving system assisted the project’s successful completion due to the products’ fast setting properties, even in low temperatures.
