Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Lee Mill properties we treat have render and brick walls and a modern interlocking tile roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    Selective biocide pre-treat to kill moss at the root - extra important on exposed modern estate sites

  • Method

    Rotary surface cleaner for stripe-free finish on block paving common across 1990s–2020s estates and modern detached

  • Method

    Optional breathable acrylic sealer - lasts longer at Lee Mill's exposed exposure

  • Method

    Pattern-imprinted concrete re-sealed in the same visit - useful on modern estate layouts
