Having laid our patio only a few weeks ago, our neighbour has helpfully painted his side of the fence with a green woodstain/paint using a sprayer. The overspray through and over the panels has covered half of the patio.
Can anyone recommend a method of removing said paint from sandstone? Hopefully it can be easily removed with chemical/pressure washing (calling R&A!) and doesn't need to be replaced
I will find out exactly what the product is and report that back.
my dad's neighbour did exactly the same thing and ruined a set of patio furniture
after a brief conversation he decided that it would be best to buy the auld fella a new set
AFAIK its criminal damage and your neighbour is culpable
LLL

Hi Jim,
I got your email, if you can find out what product he has used, and if you can post a photo, this is all reverse-able I just need to know what's been used.
Sorry for the delay, Roger, next door have been away.
Product used was Ronseal One Coat Fencelife Sprayable in Forest Green.
It's water based, which I assume is better. He did demonstrate to me that he could remove it from his patio using a stiff brush and water, but that's pressed concrete slabs and not sandstone, so considerably less porous. If it is as easy as a gentle scrub and jetted water only, then that would be brilliant but I bow to your knowledge before I start going at it hammer and tongs and ruining anything.
I've yet to joint my patio, and planned to seal it. Just a tad late it seems
If the guy is getting it off the just water & a brush, then you shouldn't to much of a problem, have a look here http://www.pavingexpert.com/stains.htm fruit & berries section, this is one of my mixes, follow instructions, clean the whole of the area the same, remember to really pre-wet with this hot weather first, paving should come up a treat.
I wouldn't have said it is to late to seal, just be careful the paving it isn't to hot as the sealer will fry and dry to quick, as I am hearing stories of this happening at the moment, so sealer fails.
