Those gaps between your patio slabs weren't always there. Weather, moss and time have quietly eaten away at the pointing, leaving your outdoor space looking tired and allowing water to seep where it shouldn't.

Keston's mixture of Victorian villas and modern developments each present unique patio challenges. Older properties often feature original stone patios where decades of freeze-thaw cycles have crumbled the pointing to dust. Meanwhile, newer builds around Fishponds Road frequently suffer from rushed installation work that starts failing within just a few years. Proper repointing transforms these spaces, preventing further damage whilst restoring that crisp, finished appearance.
The repointing process begins with meticulous joint preparation - removing every trace of failed material down to solid substrate. Fresh pointing compound gets worked deep into each gap, carefully tooled to shed rainwater effectively. Different patio materials demand specific approaches: natural sandstone requires breathable compounds, whilst porcelain benefits from flexible polymeric options. Getting this wrong leads to rapid failure, especially given how exposed Keston patios are to driving rain from the west.
Local knowledge matters when water's involved. Having worked on patios from the tree-lined streets near Keston Common to the more exposed properties towards Hayes, understanding drainage patterns prevents costly mistakes.

Repointing seals gaps but won't level sunken slabs. However, addressing pointing often reveals whether lifting and relaying certain areas might solve persistent puddles or trip hazards - we'll advise honestly during assessment.
