  • Can I use a power hose to clean Tobermore paving?

    A good power wash will remove the majority of dirt and staining from your paving. Power washing gives maximum results in minimum time, a worthy investment for those conscious of maintaining their outdoor space. Make sure to angle the power hose and to keep the temperature at 30 degrees in order to prevent colour fading.

     

  • How do I remove moss, lichen or algae from Tobermore paving?

    Thick growths of moss or lichen must be removed first by scraping out the joints and then treating the area with a moss killer such as anti-moss paving cleaner. Anti-moss is designed to remove moss, lichens and algae. It is best applied in dry weather. After being applied it will take a few days to be fully effective. Once the moss and lichens have been killed, they can easily be brushed off. Anti-moss also leaves a residue in the sand joint which will help reduce the likelihood of regrowth. The manufacturer’s instructions should always be followed when using any cleaning product.

     

  • How do I remove weeds from my Tobermore paving?

    Large weeds should be removed by hand and then the area treated with a weed killer (available from any good garden centre). Smaller weeds can then be treated directly with weed killer and these weeds should start to die within days. The manufacturer’s instructions should always be followed when using any weed killing agent.

     

  • How do I seal Tobermore block paving?

    It is possible to seal block paving with a resin material which combats staining and weed growth and which also enhances colour and appearance. The acrylic sealer is sprayed onto the block paving and forms a ‘skin’ on top of the paving and the jointing material giving an easily maintained finish. The manufacturer’s instructions should always be followed when using any sealing agent.
