I visited the property to survey the path and […]
Earlier this summer I received an enquiry from a homeowner in Wargrave near Twyford regarding their Limestone patio which was “looking tired”.

This Indian Sandstone patio at a property in Gainsborough was covered with a film of green algae ruining its appearance.

This is a great example of a Block Paved Patio at a house in Weybridge that I was asked to renovate.

This Indian Sandstone patio renovation was completed in Chiswick during the summer.

This Indian Sandstone Patio in Bolton-Le-Sands near Lancaster had not been cleaned successfully for several years.

Although structurally sound the stone looked bleached by the weather and the owner […]
