Patio restoration at a Sussex home
We recently visited a lovely property in Sussex to assist a homeowner whose patio had begun to lose its lustre due to the damp British weather. The customer was particularly concerned about the state of the joints between the paving slabs and the dull appearance of the stone, which had become masked by a layer of organic growth and general garden grime. After discussing their requirements, we settled on a comprehensive restoration plan that included a deep clean followed by a professional re-jointing and sealing process to ensure the area remained easy to manage for years to come.
Assessing the stone before cleaning
As a family-run business with over twenty years of experience, we know that every patio requires a tailored approach. We started by clearing the surface and assessing the condition of the stone to ensure we used the correct pressure settings. Using our professional-grade jet washing equipment, we carefully removed the stubborn moss and algae without damaging the delicate surface of the slabs. We applied targeted, environmentally conscious cleaning solutions to lift deep-seated stains, followed by a thorough rinse to leave the stone perfectly prepared for the next stage of the project.
Re-jointing and sealing the paving
Once the patio was completely clean and dry, we turned our attention to the joints. We used a high-quality Easy Joint compound in a mushroom colour, which provided a beautiful, subtle contrast to the paving while offering a durable finish that prevents weed growth. To complete the work, we applied a professional-grade sealant. This protective layer enhances the natural tones of the stone and creates a barrier against water and oil spills, making future maintenance a much simpler task for the homeowner.
The finished patio and aftercare advice
The final result was a revitalised patio that looked as good as the day it was first laid, with the original colour of the stone brought back through and the joints properly filled. To keep the area looking its best, we advised the customer to simply sweep away loose leaves and debris regularly and to give the surface a light wash with soapy water when needed.
