We are to clean Chris not tell them how crap it has been built. This surface may not have been cleaned for xxx amount years so with regular maintenance cleans it will get better. Pressure , dwell times , hypo percentage , temperture all do play an important part to achieve the goal.

I have no doubt that this will get cleaner with regular maintenance.

My own patio was worst than this . Now it is perfect with a little perseverance.

Accept ,  that on this job it has to fall within the budget for both parties . Ed

The surface/stone look's more like Yorkstone then Indian Sandstone from what I can see on the photos.
Agree with some of what Chris say's, poorly pointed, uneven gaps etc. block paving around swimming pools, I know a pain we have a couple we do, why anybody has block paving as a patio or in the rear garden at all baffles me.

If you we assessing that job what would be your advise to the customer and what would you have done differentially? Do you think you would of acheived a better result?
I would tell them it needs cleaning 3 times a year to maintain the natural beauty of the fine carefully selected surfaces the contractor has used.

Tony, your hypo is fine then if fresh. If you are doing other work on site then just pre wet and spray on . When was it last cleaned if ever ? Ed

The house is 400 years old and I think was cleaned then !

I pre wet and eventually used neat hypo twice !

Pita job but well paid and extra work gained. Been there a week all ready

Sometimes it pays off to go that extra mile  , but not always   ;D
