Before and after case study — Bath

This Bath case study focuses on a natural-stone patio that had gradually lost its colour and usability. The goal was to improve safety, bring back visual clarity and help the garden feel like a space worth using again rather than avoiding.

The patio before cleaning

The stone had become muted by grime, seasonal buildup and green growth through the more shaded sections. In wet weather it looked uninviting, and in drier conditions it still felt visually flat compared with the rest of the garden.

How the clean was approached

Because the surface was natural stone, the work focused on a more controlled cleaning approach rather than an overly aggressive blast. The aim was to improve the finish while respecting the material and avoiding a harsh-looking result.

What changed after the job

Why this is relevant in Bath
