FAQs
What is a patio?
A patio refers to a low-maintenance and robust paved area adjacent to a house, often used as a space to entertain, relax and dine. They tend to be built at ground level from materials like natural stone, granite, porcelain brick and concrete.
How much does a patio cost?
How much your patio costs will depend on the size, material, quantity and finish you choose. We stock patio slabs for under £10 and upwards, catering to all budgets.
How do you clean paving slabs without a pressure washer?
All you need is a stiff brush, warm soapy water and elbow grease to maintain the cleanliness of your paving slabs. For tough stains, try a solution of water and white wine vinegar or baking soda.
How to cut a paving slab
To cut your slabs, you will need either a circular saw with a diamond blade or an angle grinder. Firstly, mark down where you’d like to make the cut, secure the slab firmly and slowly guide the saw along your guideline. For cleaner edges, score the surface first.
Can you paint paving slabs?
Yes, but you should opt for masonry paint and ensure that the patio has been cleaned and dried before painting.
How to clean patio slabs
Firstly, sweep away any loose dirt and debris using a broom, and then simply wash the slabs with warm water and mild detergent using a stiff brush. Rinse with clean water and you’ll have a sparkling surface.
How to remove black spots from a patio
Black spots on a patio are usually caused by black lichen, which usually need more than a pressure wash to remove. Once you’ve swept the area, apply a specialist patio cleaner or black spot remover, leave it for the suggested duration time before scrubbing the area with a stiff brush. Lastly, rinse with clean water and repeat if needed.
