Once all full size slabs have been laid use cut slabs to complete the area. Where cut slabs are required avoid cuts which are less than a quarter of the original plan size. The use of in-board cuts can help to achieve this. Slabs should be cut using a masonry saw with water suppressant. Full PPE must be worn. When 25% of a slab needs to be cut the remaining piece should be cut from the internal corner of the cut to the external corner of the slab at an angle of 45 degrees.

For best practice cut the slabs away from the area being paved to avoid cutting dust staining the newly installed slabs.
