Restore Your Patio
Moss gone, joints refilled, loose slabs reset, one visit covers all three.
What Goes Wrong
Pressure washing improves the look, but it cannot fix failed joints or a slab that has lost its mortar bed.
Washing over crumbling joints clears the surface but leaves gaps open to water, weeds, and further movement.
Joints are cleared of degraded material first so fresh jointing mortar bonds to a clean, dry surface and lasts.
Filling joints while a slab still rocks means the new mortar cracks within a season as the slab continues to shift.
Loose slabs are lifted, the mortar bed beneath is rebuilt, and the slab is levelled before any jointing is applied.
Starting with cleaning before checking drainage and surface level can mean the wrong fix is applied in the wrong order.
A check of joint depth, slab movement, drainage, and surface level determines the correct sequence before work begins.
Repointing a single area while ignoring adjacent loose slabs allows movement to undermine the new jointing quickly.
The quote covers cleaning, repointing, and resetting as separate line items so every element is priced and planned.
What’s Covered
Cleaning, repointing, and slab repair are quoted as separate line items so you know exactly what each element costs.
Pressure washing removes algae, black spot, and moss from concrete, natural stone, and block paving.
Degraded jointing is cleared and replaced with fresh jointing mortar, finished flush with the slab surface.
Loose or rocking slabs are lifted, the mortar bed is rebuilt, and the slab is reset level and re-jointed.
Weeds cleared before repointing to stop regrowth.
Surface level and water run-off checked before work starts.
Localised cracks assessed and repaired where slabs are sound.
Kiln-dried sand or jointing compound brushed into block joints.
Inspect, Clean, Repair
Moss, missing joints, and rocking slabs each need a different fix, combining them in one visit avoids repeat call-outs.
The inspection comes first: checking for loose or rocking slabs, measuring joint width and depth, looking at drainage and surface level. Shaded Huntingdon gardens are prone to persistent algae and moss growth, and Cambridgeshire clay movement can cause slab shift and joint failure over time. The inspection confirms which of the three services, cleaning, repointing, or repair, is needed and in what order.
Pressure washing removes moss, algae, black spot, and surface dirt. It also clears out loose or degraded jointing material so the new mortar has a clean surface to bond to. Applying jointing mortar over dirty or damp joints is one of the main reasons repointing fails within a season.
Repointing uses a jointing mortar or compound brushed into the cleaned joints and finished flush with the slab surface. Loose or rocking slabs are lifted, the mortar bed beneath is rebuilt, and the slab is reset and levelled before jointing. The quote covers cleaning, repointing, and slab resetting as separate line items so the scope of each element is clear.
Why Choose Us
We take enquiries for paving work across Huntingdon and the surrounding area and schedule the visit.
Cleaning, repointing, and slab resetting are quoted as separate lines so costs are clear upfront.
Surveys account for Cambridgeshire clay conditions and the drainage issues that come with them.
An on-site visit inspects joints, slab movement, and drainage before any quote or work starts.
We schedule surveys across Huntingdon, Godmanchester, St Ives, and Brampton.
We handle the arrangement so you are not coordinating separate trades for cleaning, jointing, and repair.
