Here is a minor miracle of stone wall cleaning. In this case it's York Stone but it could just as easily be Bath stone, Cotswold stone, Sandstone etc
Before cleaning. Here's a weathered York Stone wall that's coated with dirt, algae and sulphates. There's also gooey green slime on the slabs. It looks totally neglected.	Now here's the same stone wall (and rejuvenated flagstones) just minutes later.  Can you see the difference following the stone cleaning? Wow... Look at the  warm colours!

Now, Can you see anything unusual in this third photo?

What's unusual about this photo? This is a corner of the same York Stone wall after it had been cleaned. Now look closely. Notice how the ivy is still there? That shows how gentle (but effective) this process is. The stone was cleaned without damaging the greenery! The dirt has gone but the plants are still in place.

Are you wondering how your stone will gleam?  Will yours glow like the wall in the photographs? There's only one way to find out. Give me a call or E-mail some photo's across.

I warn you though. You'll be grinning like a Cheshire cat when you see how radiant your stone will look.

Won't it be brilliant to see your stonework glowing after treatment? Just click on the link below and we'll arrange it. ê

Cleaning & Restoration Of Landscaped Stone Work

You've got to see these super photo's below ê

They'll show you how firstly; a doomed patio project was brought back from the dead and secondly; how a grubby poolside area was rescued at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

You'll also discover a secret benefit ― how to impress your friends and relatives; then have them gossip enviously about you. Here's how.

Let me ask you something.

If you held a get together at your house ― with your friends and neighbours ― would they openly admire, or silently criticise your stonework ?

Now just imagine for a second... having loads of guests come round for a barbeque, party or reception. It's a beautiful day so you all go outside to the patio ― then you look down in horror.

Embarrassing or what?

The stonework and slabs are engulfed in lichen, dirt and green slime. You hadn't noticed it over the winter ― but your guests have already!

The problem is, when stonework gets shabby, it doesn't just happen overnight. It kind of creeps up over time, almost invisibly.

You don't really notice it ― but others do. They always do — then they take perverted pleasure in pointing it out (I bet you know someone just like this)..

Sure it's embarrassing but don't worry ― it's easily sorted. So, instead...

Wouldn't it be fantastic if...  your patio had that "just designed, award winning" look. One they'd come round to gaze in amazement at?

You can and you will.

Now here's what usually happens after someone's stonework is transformed. Does this sound familiar?

When you have it spruced up, those same friends will notice the change immediately . Beware though. They may get a teeny bit JEALOUS afterwards.

Casually, they'll sidle up to you. They'll ask (through gritted teeth) "who did this for you?". Eventually, I hope you'll let on and give them our telephone number ― but it's OK to let them sweat a bit first!

So, if you could have your stonework  transformed, (without spending a fortune) ― so that everyone came to admire it― how great would you feel?

Have a quick look around you. Do you have say, some rockery stone or a natural stone wall, that's looking a bit tired? Maybe you've got a (once) fabulous poolside area that needs freshening up without using chemicals?

Maybe you're holding a wedding reception or birthday party at your house and want it to look stunning in the photographs?

Here's the easy way to have it look as good as the day it was built. Take a look at these photo's below... It's a "rescue" job we did recently...

How to remove paint from stonework or a brick or stone wall
Here's a luxury patio created from recycled stone. Incredibly, many stones were left daubed in unsightly paint. It looks a right mess. You'd probably be too embarrassed to hold your parties here!	This is the same patio after cleaning. Wouldn't you want to show this off to all your friends and neighbours? What a cool place to entertain them. NB  the white stuff on the floor is the (removed) old paint on the dustsheets, just before it was cleaned up and taken away.

And there's more.

The next photo's (below) show another West Midlands garden. This time, featuring a swimming pool with very unhealthy flagstones.

Take a look at the grubby poolside patio below. See the dark mouldy area? Well that's what you'd touch with your bare hands and feet. Makes you feel riffy just thinking about it doesn't it?

Would you or your kids dare walk around in BARE FEET on that muck and grime ― or worse still, slice them open on those filthy, germ laden slabs?

That poolside slime is deadly slippery, just like an ice rink. You don't want someone skidding, cracking their head, then collapsing into the pool, do you? Nowadays, they'll probably sue you. And that's not all.

It's not just the danger, it's the cost...

See the slabs forming the circle surrounding the pool? They are solid granite. Beautiful, but pricey.

They cost a whopping £ 43.76 EACH! (That's £ 218.80 just for just the six slabs bordering the pool in the first photo. Bear in mind that doesn't include the cost of getting the old ones up or laying the new ones).

Believe it or not, they had already been pressure washed ― just a day or so before these photo's were taken ― and still looked lousy!

The owners were at their wits end. They were about to tear up and replace those granite slabs, when they heard of us.

See how our system brought the poolside up like new, removed the grease and restored the "non slip" finish to the tiles. Yours could look just as great.

How To Remove Grease, Mould and Slime from patios, slabs and flagstones
This solid granite poolside was covered with a deadly duo of grease and algae. With wet feet it was as deadly to walk on as black ice.	Here it is with the yucky stuff being removed. Once that's done you'll be safer and it will look like it's just been newly built.

Here's something else. What about loose things, like rockery stones?

Say you want to move your existing feature somewhere else, or you have a load of old rockery stones piled up, waiting to be used again?

Often, when you rebuild a rockery, the stones look tatty. Some look bright while others are stained with soil or covered in moss and lichen. You end up with a patchwork mess. Here's what you do...

Build it anyway and don't worry what it looks like. Then call us.

Here's how your rockery stones will look like new...

We'll come along and clean all the faces up so they look like nearly quarried stone. That's what we did in the photo above (the one where the bricks were coated in white paint). It'll put pounds on the place!

So, are you wondering how well yours will clean up? Won't you feel great when your patio looks as good as the day it was laid?
