Maintenance and Care
Newly completed areas of paving should only receive a light brushing in the early months, to allow joints to settle naturally. From then on, general cleaning of paved areas should be done regularly.
Routine Care The purchase of paving is a long term investment and to maintain its appearance, periodic cleaning is essential - two or three times a year and certainly during spring and autumn. Regular brushing to prevent the build up of detritus is recommended.
Weeds, Moss, Lichen
Treat as soon as they appear, during a dry period in spring and autumn. Easily controlled as long as it is regularly treated.
Weed and grass growth need to be attacked with a proprietary weed killer.
Moss, lichen, etc need to be treated with a proprietary water based fungicide and algaecide.
DIY outlets, builders merchants and hardware stores stock a range of weed, moss and lichen control products. Always take care to follow the manufacturers instructions.
Sealing of Natural Aggregate Flags
A variety of sealers and cleaners are available through many DIY outlets, builders merchants and hardware stores.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and check its suitability.
Please note that applying sealant may affect the colour of paving.
Responsibility for the performance of sealers and cleaners rests with the user and the manufacturer of the product.
General cleaning of paved areas should be done regularly.
