What about Indian sandstone?

Treated differently from block paving — softwash pre-clean followed by a low-pressure fan rinse. We never put a rotary cleaner on natural stone.

A single visit gets a heavily-soiled drive back to as-new. After that, a top-up wash every 18–24 months keeps it that way.

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.

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.

Do you re-sand the joints?

Kiln-dried jointing sand brushed into the joints once the surface is dry. It's what stops the weeds coming straight back.
