Service overview
What Patio Restoration Actually Involves
Patio restoration is two jobs done properly rather than one job done quickly. The first is cleaning, lifting years of black algae, green slime, moss and general grime out of the surface of the paving itself. The second, and the part most pressure-only companies skip, is dealing with the jointing. Old sand or weak mortar joints crack, wash out and grow weeds year after year, and no amount of surface cleaning stops that cycle if the joints underneath are still failing.
James has been restoring patios and driveways across Redditch and Worcestershire for ten years. Where the jointing has failed, it is raked out properly and replaced with premium Nexus Titan compound, a resin jointing system that locks the joint solid, resists weed growth far better than sand ever will, and is covered by an 8-year guarantee on the jointing itself. Sealing is also available where you want the finished colour protected and the surface easier to keep clean going forward.
This is not a quick blast with a lance. It is stripping the surface back to the stone, re-jointing where it needs it, and leaving a patio that looks like it did the day it was laid, with paperwork behind it to prove the joints will hold.
Who this is for
- Homeowners with slimy, black or green-stained patio and path surfaces
- Anyone with weeds pushing up through sand joints every spring
- Sellers who need outdoor space to photograph well before viewings
- New-build and recently-laid patios that already show poor original jointing
- Landlords and letting agents maintaining outdoor areas between tenancies
- Anyone who has had a patio pressure washed before and watched it look worse within a year

Left untreated
What Happens If The Jointing Is Left As It Is
Failed jointing is not a cosmetic issue, it is a structural one for the paving above it. Once sand or weak mortar washes out of a joint, the slabs either side lose their support and start to rock under foot traffic. Rocking slabs crack at the edges, and cracked slabs let in more water, which speeds up the frost damage underneath. What starts as a gap you can push a fingernail into becomes a slab that needs lifting and re-bedding.
Weeds make it worse. Every seed that lands in an open joint roots into the compacted sub-base beneath, and the roots widen the gap further with every growing season. Cut the tops off and the roots stay; spray them and they come back within weeks unless the joint itself is sealed against them. A patio pressure washed without re-jointing usually looks worse within twelve months than it did before; the wash strips the last of the weak jointing out, and the gaps left behind fill with algae and weeds faster than ever.
The cost gap is significant. Re-jointing a patio with a proper compound while the base is still sound is a fraction of the cost of lifting, re-bedding and re-laying slabs once the sub-base has washed away underneath them. Acting while the paving itself is still flat and intact is what keeps this a cleaning-and-jointing job rather than a re-lay.
Mistakes that cost people money
- Pressure washing a patio without addressing failed jointing, which strips the last of the weak joints out entirely
- Using standard sand joints where weed growth is already a recurring problem
- Ignoring rocking or hollow-sounding slabs until they crack
- Ignoring the sub-base and hoping surface pointing alone will hold
- Applying sealant over algae and grime instead of cleaning first, which seals the dirt in
- Booking a wash-only service when the real problem is underneath the surface
Our process
The Five-Step Patio Restoration Process
01
Inspection
We assess the paving type, the condition of the existing jointing, drainage falls and any rocking or cracked slabs before quoting, from a site visit, or from your photos for smaller jobs. This is what decides whether you need a clean, a re-joint, or both.
02
Surface Cleaning
The full patio is cleaned to lift algae, moss and ingrained grime out of the stone, using the correct pressure and method for the paving type, natural stone, block paving, concrete flag or composite all behave differently under a lance.
03
Joint Removal
Where the existing jointing has failed, cracked, hollow, weed-infested or washed out; it is raked out properly rather than jointed over the top. Jointing over failed material just hides the problem for another season.
04
Nexus Titan Re-Jointing
Premium Nexus Titan compound is worked into the cleaned-out joints, compacted and finished flush with the paving. This is a resin jointing system, not sand, and it is what the 8-year guarantee is written against.
05
Sealing (Optional) & Sign-Off
Where sealing is agreed, it is applied once the jointing has cured, protecting colour and making future maintenance easier. We walk the finished job with you before we leave, and the jointing is covered by our written 8-year guarantee, plus our satisfaction policy across the visible clean.
The benefits
What You Get From Proper Patio Restoration
Joints that actually hold
Nexus Titan compound locks solid rather than washing out with the next heavy rain, so the slabs either side stay supported instead of rocking loose.
Far fewer weeds coming through
A properly compacted resin joint gives weed seed nowhere to root, cutting the annual weeding cycle that sand joints guarantee.
Eight years of cover, in writing
The jointing carries an 8-year guarantee, a fixed obligation on the work itself, not a vague promise about how it should perform.
A patio that photographs and sells
Outdoor space is one of the first things viewers and buyers judge a property on. Clean stone and solid joints change how the whole garden reads.
One visit for cleaning and jointing
Cleaning and re-jointing are handled in the same project, so you are not booking one trade to wash it and another to fix the joints afterwards.
Insured, trained work
Pure Seal Level 1 trained for ground services, £5,000,000 public liability insured, with a free re-clean if you are not 100% happy with the visible finish.
In detail
Paving Types, Jointing & Situations We Cover
Patio restoration decisions depend on the paving material, the state of the existing jointing and how the area is used. Here is how we approach the surfaces we see most across Redditch, Alcester, Evesham, Bromsgrove, Droitwich, Worcester, Solihull and Birmingham.
Natural stone patios
+
Indian sandstone, limestone and similar natural stone hold algae and lichen deep in the surface texture, and the joints between irregular flags are often the first to fail. Cleaning is matched to the stone's porosity, and Nexus Titan re-jointing follows the natural, often uneven, joint widths without leaving thin, weak lines that fail again within a season.
Block paving driveways and patios
+
Block paving relies entirely on its joints for structural stability, lose the sand between the blocks and the whole surface starts to move and rut under vehicle weight. Full re-jointing with Nexus Titan restores that interlock and resists the weed growth that loose kiln-dried sand invites within a year or two.
Concrete flags and composite paving
+
Concrete flags stain heavily with algae because the surface is porous, and older concrete jointing crumbles rather than washing out cleanly. These are cleaned to lift the staining fully before any re-jointing, so the finished colour is even rather than patchy over old grime.
Nexus Titan jointing compound and why it is used
+
Nexus Titan is a premium resin jointing compound, not sand. It is worked into cleaned, raked-out joints and cures into a solid, flexible bond that resists the two things that kill sand joints, washout from rain and weed root penetration. It is the compound behind our 8-year jointing guarantee, and it is the reason a properly restored patio stops needing annual re-sanding.
Sealing after restoration
+
Sealing is offered once jointing has cured, and it protects the colour of the stone while making the surface easier to keep clean between visits. It is not required for the jointing guarantee to apply, but most customers combine the two so the finished patio stays looking restored for longer.
Domestic versus rental and managed properties
+
On owner-occupied patios the focus is finish and longevity. For landlords, letting agents and managed properties, RAMS are issued on request, and re-jointed patios and driveways hold up far better between tenancies than sand-jointed surfaces left unattended for years at a time.
Questions
Patio Restoration: Your Questions Answered
Anything not covered here, call James on 07511 580040 , the enquiry line is 24/7 enquiry line.
How much does patio restoration cost in Redditch?
Pricing depends on the paving area, the state of the existing jointing and whether a full re-joint or just a clean is needed. Photos or a site visit let us quote accurately; you will get a response within 2 hours and a firm quote within 24. There is no charge for the visit or the quote.
How long does patio restoration take?
A clean-only patio can often be finished in a day. Full re-jointing with Nexus Titan takes longer, since old joints must be raked out, new compound worked in and cured before sealing, so larger areas or full re-joints can run over two or more days. You will be told the expected timescale before booking.
What does the 8-year guarantee cover?
The 8-year guarantee applies specifically to the Nexus Titan jointing compound used in re-jointing, it covers the jointing holding solid over that period. It does not extend to unrelated staining or new algae growth on the stone itself, which is a separate maintenance clean if needed in future.
Will re-jointing stop weeds coming through my patio for good?
Nexus Titan compound resists weed root penetration far better than sand joints, which is why it cuts weed growth dramatically compared with a standard sand-jointed patio. We do not offer a weed-return guarantee, no exterior joint is entirely weed-proof forever, but the reduction compared with sand is substantial and the jointing itself is guaranteed for 8 years.
Do I need to re-joint the whole patio or just clean it?
Only if the jointing has actually failed. If your joints are sound and the problem is purely surface algae and staining, a clean alone will restore the look. We will tell you honestly during inspection which situation you are in rather than upselling a re-joint you do not need.
Can you re-joint block paving driveways as well as patios?
Yes. Block paving relies on its jointing for structural stability as much as appearance, and Nexus Titan re-jointing is used on driveways in exactly the same way as patios, restoring the interlock between blocks.
Is sealing necessary after re-jointing?
No, sealing is optional. The 8-year jointing guarantee stands whether or not sealing is applied. Sealing protects the stone's colour and makes ongoing cleaning easier, so most customers choose to add it, but it is your decision.
Will restoration damage older or softer paving?
Cleaning method and pressure are matched to the paving type during inspection, and softer or older stone is treated accordingly. Any existing cracks or damaged flags are flagged to you before work starts rather than found afterwards. We hold £5,000,000 public liability insurance and are Pure Seal Level 1 trained for ground services.
How quickly can you come out to quote?
Enquiries are answered within 2 hours and quotes issued within 24 hours, whether from a site visit or your own photos. Our enquiry line is open 24/7: call, message or use the form and James will respond personally.
