Why we built a St Germans page for patios & driveways

On the Lynher tidal creek beside the Port Eliot estate, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Quotes around St Germans usually go out the same evening.

What good patios & driveways looks like here

  1. 1Rotary head on block paving, fan tip on natural stone common to estuary village layouts
  2. 2Kiln-dried sand brushed in twice on driveways with a heavy camber on estuary village sites
  3. 3Lawn edge masked before any biocide on estuary village properties with mature borders
  4. 4Cobble apron joints raked before the wash on estuary village stock
  5. 5Pattern-imprinted concrete sealer re-coated in the same visit on estuary village layouts

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most St Germans properties we treat have granite and lime render walls and a Cornish slate 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 estuary village sites

  • Method

    Rotary surface cleaner for stripe-free finish on block paving common across estate cottages and Victorian terraces

  • Method

    Optional breathable acrylic sealer - lasts longer at St Germans's exposed exposure

  • Method

    Pattern-imprinted concrete re-sealed in the same visit - useful on estuary village layouts

What usually triggers the call in St Germans

  • Indian sandstone losing colour under a thin algae film at St Germans's exposed
  • Slippery flagstones around the rear of the house on estuary village layouts
  • Oil staining where cars park on porous block paving across St Germans
  • Pattern-imprinted concrete dulled by UV and surface algae on estuary village layouts
  • Cobbled aprons holding moss in joints all winter on estate cottages and Victorian terraces
