Patio Repointing & Restoration

Tired patio joints repointed instead of the slabs being ripped up

The failed joints were raked out and repointed, loose sand was topped up, and the customer kept sound slabs rather than paying for a full replacement.

The job

What needed doing

The mortar between the patio slabs had started crumbling and washing out, and a few block-paved edges had gone loose underfoot. The customer had been quoted for a full new patio elsewhere and wanted an honest view on whether the existing slabs were actually sound. They were happy to restore rather than replace if the base was still solid.

The patio looked tidy again and the joints were solid underfoot, and the customer avoided the cost and upheaval of lifting slabs that were still perfectly good. They were told which spots to keep an eye on over the next year.

Work completed

Checked the slabs and base to confirm they were sound and worth keeping
Raked out the failed, crumbling mortar from the patio joints
Repointed the joints with fresh mortar and re-sanded the loose block paving
Cleaned off excess and left the surface neat and settled

Customer benefits

Keeps sound slabs and avoids a full replacement cost
Firms up loose paving so it is safer to walk on
Freshens the look of the whole patio in one visit

Worth dealing with early

Open joints let water get under slabs, which can lift or rock them over time
Washed-out sand lets block paving spread and drop at the edges
Left too long, minor repointing can turn into a bigger relaying job
