Peak Smooth Grey Slabs
I had some slabs from a friend, they are pretty solid - but
to continue the garden work I started buying the Peak Grey slabs, which look great at first. Unfortunately I can't get them clean from the rain, it seems hard-soaked into the slabs, despite trying rather expensive cleaners. Have a sealer ready, which I only learned off long after laying them, but is there any way to get them back to good looking? Wish I'd chosen the more costly slabs now, Peak Riven, I think they're called. Brownish. |

There is also a website which I think is pavingexpert.co.uk which is a mine of information Malcolm |

If so I don't know how you could salvage them. Or are you saying the rain has marked them? If so take them back and complain, unfit for purpose. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

Unfortunately I can't get them clean from the rain, I clean all my slabs with bleach that gets rid of all the staining. Test a corner first though. Mike |

Sorry, I should have made that clearer - there are dark marks randomly over the slabs where the rain has got in. Actually, I'll get a screenshot available at the weekend. |

This is probably the first question uk.d-i-y will ask Malcolm |
