First things first -
Yeah but my point is this customer was that happy she gave me £50 extra! As she had forgotten what the patio looked like, and was shocked at the finished product. May I also add them spots look worse because patio is wet, when it drive out it was less visable. I wasn't planning on sealing unless she asked anyway wich would mean she would need it pointing first:)
So all in all me and the customer were happy with the result, there's a way I can improve for the future by using hypo were needed. Thanks for response everyone

Right let me get this through your head because its not registering.
This patio was over 10years old, I cleaned it how I've done other jobs and everyone was happy.  I never suggest the patio will be 100% as good as new.
I hope you understand we're I'm coming from because I'm sure your perfect every time on every job:) well done

Oh it's registering not a problem.
I've cleaned paving over 50 years old and brought it back to original photos that the home owners had, and left no bits of s**t on it which you have on a 10 year old surface.
I did say don't take this the wrong way with my first reply but you obviously have.
And yes I'm am perfect on every job.

Roger runs a solid business, that doesn't cut corners and always offers the very best service. He is busy and gets the prices he wants for his works. He is certainly an example of how to run a business properly.

I listen to his advice!

Moving forward - Those black spots are the difference between a good job & a great job and if you improve on that as an end product you will be somewhere closer to offering a service that stands out.

I presume that you cleaned the plant pot?

Rob ;D

I had taken the points on board hense why I asked for a hypo supplier and tips! But the way he worded it " learn the trade, etc etc really wound me up as it sounded like I'm a complete cowboy when I had offered a good device "not perfect" but I was told ways to improve by use lads and I listened!
And as it happened I looked on his website and was very impressed.

No problem...they all work in the lab tho' under ideal conditions!Usually tested by  a balanced beam scrape and MAR testers.
Get some out in the real world  ie damp substrates and contractors that don't read instructions to see how it performs!
