Im trying to reclaim part of my garden thats been fenced off for a few years now.
Its going well but I've run into a problem re the concrete flags.
The area a large portion of it flagged over and they have discoloured quite badlly.
They cover approx 20 feet X 26 feet.
My usually efficient jet washer has removed a lot of the grime and moss etc but the flags are still grubby looking. A lot have black spots all over them and some have some sort of lichen spots.
Is it time for a new more powerful jet washer ( I hope not) or please can anyone suggest what might be used to restore their (Near??) orininal plain white?? colour?
As always Ill be grateful for any thoughts you may be kind enough to share.
Regards Jack

There are slabs which have a smooth surface and therefore easier to retain their original colour with washing but if the surface is rough, discolouration will be normal over time.
You may be aware that this forum is closing soon so there's not much time for others to post advice for your problem.
Hopefully someone will see this before then and offer you a solution
