If the slabs are concrete then you can use brick acid (diluted - its powerful stuff) and a lot of elbow grease with a stiff brush. If its natural stone, dont use the acid as it will colour them further. Use an old bit of the same stone toe rub the rubbish off. If the pointing has failed you have no ...

The only "damage" the pressure washer would do is to blow the sand out from between the blocks, which you can re-apply. Use kiln dried sand, on a dry day and on a dry drive.

Alternatively use a weed-killer.

Do you mean a few of the bricks have crumbly mortar, or something else?

Whatever the level of damage, it MIGHT indicate a deeper problem - damp in the walls can cause very old house bricks to crumble, for example - and if so, get that sorted before covering it all up again.

We have moved from all electric showers to mixer showers from our combi boiler. We have good pressure, which is lucky, and the shower is fantastic as a result. I would never buy an electric shower again, as they are, in my humble opinion, rubbish when there is a better alternative. Given that you ha...
