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.

If the joints are crumbling, hollow, or letting weeds push through, cleaning alone will not fix the problem. A clean removes surface dirt and growth; repointing replaces the failed mortar that holds slabs stable. If joints look intact and firm, a clean may be all you need. If they crumble when pressed, repointing is necessary. ### Can loose patio slabs be repaired at the same time as cleaning? Yes. Loose slabs are lifted, the sub-base checked and re-bedded before cleaning begins, so the surface is stable before any water or treatment is applied. Combining both in one visit avoids disturbing freshly cleaned slabs later. ### Will a pressure washer sort out black spots and moss on its own? A pressure washer removes surface growth but does not kill the spores causing black spots and moss, so regrowth returns quickly. A biocidal treatment applied after washing kills the organism at root level and slows regrowth significantly. Pressure washing alone is a short-term fix. ### What should be checked before repointing a patio? The sub-base stability, slab levels, and drainage fall should all be checked before repointing. Repointing over a sunken or moving slab will crack again within months. Any loose slabs need re-bedding first, and the joints must be dry and free of loose debris before new mortar or jointing compound is applied. ### Is it worth fixing one damaged area rather than the whole patio? Yes, if the rest of the patio is structurally sound. Localised repair, lifting a few slabs, re-bedding, and repointing that section, is far more cost-effective than full replacement. If the sub-base has failed across a wide area, a broader repair or resurfacing may make more sense. ### How much of my patio needs attention before you can quote for it? A quote follows a site survey of the full patio, even if only part of it needs work. The survey identifies hidden issues, such as soft spots, failed joints and drainage problems, that affect the final scope. Quoting from photos alone risks missing work that only becomes visible on the day. ### Can cleaning, repointing and repairs all be done in one visit? For most [patios](https://www.huntingdonpatios.co.uk/), yes. The usual order is: lift and re-bed any loose slabs, clean the surface, allow it to dry, then apply jointing compound or mortar. Some jointing products need the surface fully dry before application, which may mean a short wait between stages on the same day. ### Will you remove weeds, old jointing and debris as part of the job? Yes. Old jointing compound, weeds, and loose debris are raked out of the joints before any new material goes in. Skipping this step means new mortar bonds poorly and fails early. Surface debris is cleared before cleaning begins. ### Which areas do you cover for Patio Cleaning, Repointing & Repair?
