Block paving and cement.

[Thingy]

Not exactly caravan related but does anybody know how to get cement of block paving.

We had acompany to do some work for us and its right where the caravan stands, so to get the van safely away we asked him to do it whilst we were on holiday. Cut a long story short, hes managed to get cement stains over an area of a square metre. As we had other problems including having to take him to court for his lack of expertise and workmanship (which we won btw), getting him back to clean up his mess proved to be fruitless.

So, any suggestions anyone. Its more cement stains than lumps of it.

Thingy.
Try the above link. Specialist cleaners are available at screw fix etc.
Do not use a jetwasher. All you will do is wash out the sand base causing no end of problems.

Thanks for that link Dusty, Ill try that, I spend half my life at Screwfix anyway B)

Not sure whats in the Swarfega one SWpostie, but I like the brick acid idea. Wife can use whats left to get the makeup off. :evil:

If all the above fails........................buy some new block pavers and replace, chuck some dirt on them and they will soon match exsisting :lol: :lol:

Doubt it will come to that. I could always buy another caravan to park over the stains when we are away caravanning.

Or leave the caravan there and buy a tent to go away in...sorted. (And cheaper) :evil:

what I find best is a wire brush and brick cleaner and a bit of elbow grease

 

[Thingy]

Aye, thats looking about the size of things.
