FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Truthfully it is completely dependent upon external factors, below I have listed the main factors that can affect the frequency of a clean;

• Natural Surroundings (if you are surrounded by greenery, trees, hedges, etc, this can increase the need for more frequent cleaning)
• Shaded Areas (shaded areas are a hotspot for algae growth, this causes an increase 'that green look' to your external areas)
• Footfall (Areas that are disturbed less allow for natural growth production to increase

In short its an individual choice & depends on the surrounding conditions, but we usually recommend an annual clean (& if desired a Winter Maintenance)

This can range from a few hours to a full day. It is dependant upon how large the area is and the depth of the task.

Surface Protection is not a vital part of your maintenance, however it will help protect from the return of stubborn and deeply ingrained dirt and staining.

 We only use an environmentally recognised product that we have previously applied to many recognised Commercial National Landmarks. It is an Impregnation not a surface sealer which outlasts surface sealers and will not change the surface appearance.

Successful removal of oil is dependent on the surface type and how soon we treat the spillage before it has a chance to become a stain. For most oil stains we can either successfully remove or improve them to be hardly noticeable.

The improved stain will then weather out.

Contrary to popular belief,  it is not vital to re-sand your paved areas. Providing a deep clean has been conducted correctly and the joints have not been subjected to inappropriate cleaning pressure. Re-sanding is purely an aesthetic choice which puts the finishing touch on the  job.
