Can you do steep coastal driveways?

Yes — and that's a useful one because salt and damp shade together cause faster moss return. Worth re-sanding and sealing in the same visit.

What about pattern-imprinted concrete?

Yes — softer pressure, re-seal afterwards. Pattern-imprinted concrete actually relies on its sealer to look right, so re-coating is part of the job.

How long does a typical drive take?

Half a day for a standard family driveway including pre-treatment, wash and re-sanding. Larger drives or full patios run to a full day.

Will the blocks lose their colour?

No. The colour is bonded into the block — we strip the algae and traffic film off the top, not the pigment underneath.

Should I get the patio sealed?

Optional. A breathable sealer locks in the colour, slows re-soiling and makes future cleans much faster. It's worth it on Indian sandstone and pattern-imprinted concrete.
