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

  • Method

    Kiln-dried jointing sand brushed in once the surface is dry on every Woolwell job

  • Method

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