Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Leigham 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 moderate modern estate sites
- Method
Kiln-dried jointing sand brushed in once the surface is dry on every Leigham job
- Method
Optional breathable acrylic sealer - lasts longer at Leigham's moderate exposure
- Method
Pattern-imprinted concrete re-sealed in the same visit - useful on modern estate layouts
