Leaf debris, moss, and dirt trap moisture against the surface and into joints. Before the first frost, clear all debris and apply a biocidal cleaner to prevent algae growth. In clay-heavy areas like Evesham, Cheltenham, and Moreton-in-Marsh, surfaces hold moisture longer — making autumn cleaning especially important. Use a low-pressure setting to avoid dislodging jointing compound.
Walk your patio or path after a heavy rain before winter sets in. Any pooling indicates a drainage problem that will worsen when water freezes. Repoint cracked or open joints with polymeric compound before temperatures drop — water in open joints freezes, expands, and lifts slabs. Clear all ACO channels and soakaways of leaves and silt.
Natural stone and concrete benefit from a breathable sealant before winter — particularly important for sandstone and limestone patios across Burford and Stratford-upon-Avon. When frost arrives, use calcium chloride or grit rather than rock salt, which corrodes stone and concrete. Plex Group provides maintenance visits across Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and Oxfordshire to prepare paved areas for winter.
