Have just finished laying some slabs.
Question is, what sort of screed, mix or whatever do I need to fill in spaces between slabs?

Sealing between slabs

I used 6:1 sand cement.
Weeds still manage to germinate on it though.
I use the B&Q gen purpose mortar (Hansen brand). Sweep it over the slabs dry, push it down tight with a piece of wood, brush off the faces, and use a watering can with a rose to wet it.
Doesn't that cause splashes which stain the slabs?
Not with a rose. A spray can be used but it's hard work, and there's a danger that only the surface gets wet
4:1 building sand:cement, plenty of black die, with plenty of good plasticiser, mix it quite stuff, and work carefully.
This is the mix I made for SHMBO to do our slate floor slabs & it looks great.
