This may need to be laid over a sub-base (strengthening layer) of crushed stone or hardcore.

We don’t prescribe a solution per se as contractors may alter these according to project needs but as a guide its typically installed on full bed of mortar sometimes referred to as individual bedding. The mortar bed is laid on top of compacted hard core (MOT) which can range from 100mm to 150mm on average.
