That tired patio behind your Victorian terrace in Dartford deserves better than another pressure wash. Sometimes restoration beats replacement – especially when dealing with quality slabs that just need expert attention.

Weather takes its toll on Dartford patios, particularly those exposed to the prevailing winds coming up from the Thames. Black spot, moss growth, and subsidence affect even the best-laid surfaces after a few years. Rather than ripping everything out, restoration breathes new life into existing stonework – addressing both the aesthetic issues and underlying structural problems that cause them.
Restoration starts beneath the visible surface. Lifted edges get re-levelled, failed pointing receives fresh mortar, and drainage issues that pool water near your back door finally get resolved. Once structurally sound, specialist cleaning removes years of accumulated grime without damaging the stone's natural texture. Professional sealants then lock in the refreshed appearance whilst protecting against future weathering – crucial for patios facing Dartford's mix of urban pollution and riverside moisture.
Twenty years working on patios from Crayford's newer developments to Greenhithe's riverside properties means spotting problems others miss. Each stone type demands different treatment – what works on Indian sandstone could ruin Yorkshire stone.
