📍 **Surface of the Week**

A simple one this week, but a big difference.

**Before:** dull, patchy stone with algae starting to take hold.
**After:** colour restored, surface brightened up, and much safer underfoot.

This is exactly why regular maintenance matters, especially on shaded patios where algae builds up quickly.

If you’re in Derby or the surrounding East Midlands and your patio is looking tired, drop us a message for honest advice and a proper quote.

📍 **Surface of the Week**

**Stone patio transformation** (before ➜ after).

This one had gone dull and patchy from weathering, algae and general grime, leaving it looking tired and potentially slippery underfoot.

On patios like this we always check:
✅ algae build-up (slip risk)
✅ dark staining / early black spot
✅ joint condition and drainage

A proper clean brings the colour back and makes the space safer to use.

If your patio in Derby or the surrounding East Midlands is looking past its best, message the page and we’ll advise the best next step.

I love transforming Indian sandstone, two jobs started this week both will look amazing when completed. Both will be sealed when dry.

Ongoing Indian sandstone restoration project for another happy customer ✔️
This patio had significant organic growth, weather staining and black spot contamination across the surface. The first stage of the restoration is now complete and the natural colours in the sandstone are already starting to come back through beautifully 🌿🪨
This is being carried out as a full restoration process, not just a quick surface clean.
Completed so far: ✔ Deep clean
✔ Organic growth treatment
✔ Black spot treatment
✔ Careful pressure washing
Next stages: ✔ Professional sealing once fully dry
✔ Full repointing to finish and protect the patio long term
A proper restoration takes time and each stage matters if you want a finish that lasts.
Looking forward to sharing the completed results soon.

Rust stains on sandstone – not your standard clean 👇
These orange/brown marks you can see are iron deposits, not dirt — and they won’t come out with pressure washing alone.
This is where a lot of surfaces get damaged by inexperienced cleaning.
At GleamGuard, we: ✔ Identify the stain type first
✔ Use targeted treatment to break down the iron staining
✔ Avoid harsh methods that can etch or bleach the stone
You can see the process here — controlled application, dwell time, and careful rinse down to lift the staining without harming the sandstone.
Result: A much cleaner, more consistent finish without risking the integrity of the surface.
⚠️ Important: Rust treatments need to be handled correctly — overuse or wrong products can permanently mark the stone.
If your patio has similar staining, it’s not a lost cause — it just needs the right approach.

🔷 Surface of the Week – Pattern Imprinted Concrete, Alvaston Derby.

This week’s project involved restoring a pattern imprinted concrete driveway that had suffered from previous incorrect treatment.
The surface showed:
Patchy white residue from cleaning products
Uneven appearance across the slab
Loss of the original uniform finish
These issues are common when unsuitable chemicals or methods are used on PIC surfaces, which behave very differently to block paving or natural stone.
🧠 Professional insight:
Pattern imprinted concrete is a sealed surface system — not individual units.
👉 That means:
The colour is integral but protected by a surface sealer
Harsh chemicals can damage or strip the sealer unevenly
Incorrect cleaning can leave patching that cannot simply be washed away
Proper remediation requires:
Controlled chemical selection
Even surface treatment
Consideration of whether re-sealing is required to fully restore the finish
✔ Key takeaway:
With pattern imprinted concrete, the goal isn’t just cleaning —
it’s restoring uniformity without compromising the surface system.
