  • Doesn’t look like much but managed to patch up the shit show concrete at the end of my path. Just a layer of ready mixed and then a liberal sprinkling with a watering can, way less work than expected.
    Next up tile cleaning, and recommendations?

  • It's a shame they chopped them back - and halfway through the red ones too - why did people do stuff like that?

    I've never cleaned outdoor tiles but Patio Magic or similar and a pressure washer?

    If you don't have a pressure washer we actually have one. At least in theory: it's been on 'long term loan' to someone else on Rensburg since not long after we moved in, so hopefully it still exists/works.

    I am hoping that when we lift the fugly paving slabs outside the front of ours we'll find the original tiles a layer or too down, but this is probably wishful thinking.

  • why did people do stuff like that?

    Could be Thames Water fixing a leak.

    That's how all the nice old paths on our street were ruined. And some new ones!

  • Looking at other streets there are quite a few the same so it looks like an en masse job, I don't think it was Thames water as our pipes to the house were shit original ones I replaced to get better water pressure and less lead poisoning and it did nothing.
    What do you think they were like originally? I can't imagine they hard a border? I know the fences were taken in the war but that should not have effected things?
