Can I see your Haverhill patio work?
The gallery contains before-and-after paving photographs labelled Haverhill. They provide examples of actual work, alongside other client photographs. Use them to discuss the change you want, but remember that different stone, past treatments and deeply established marks can produce a different result.
Will sandstone become one even colour?
Not necessarily, and natural colour variation is part of many stone patios. Cleaning aims to remove contamination rather than recolour every slab. Wet stone can also appear darker than dry stone. Talk through old repairs, permanent marks and your desired appearance before choosing additional finishing.
Can you wash a patio with gaps in the mortar?
Explain the gaps before booking. Deteriorated jointing may need a restoration scope rather than cleaning alone, especially if material is already coming away. Moving slabs are a further issue. A clear photograph of the joints helps separate those problems from surface dirt.
Are stubborn black marks included automatically?
Identify them in the enquiry. Targeted treatment may be needed, and the scope should say what is proposed. Some established marks remain despite appropriate attention. A quote for general dirt removal should not be read as a promise of total lichen removal.
Will furniture need to stay off afterwards?
Follow the advice for the actual method and any finishing work. Treatment, drying, new joints or sealing can change when heavy items return. Tell us about fixed planters and very heavy furniture before booking, rather than attempting unsafe lifting at the last minute.
Is sealing essential after a patio clean?
No. It is an additional choice for compatible paving and conditions. Ask what it would change, how the material must be prepared and what care it requires. A suitable clean can be worthwhile without adding a coating to every patio.
Can you quote for the driveway as well?
Yes, include both surfaces and the route between them. Different materials or re-sanding may change the programme, so a combined quotation should identify each stage. Ask about the multi-service saving that applies to the proposed work rather than assuming one standard discount.
