We have had our block paving drive and paths cleaned, sanded, and sealed. Not sure of the sealant used, but we went for the 'Rolls Royce' option, and a sheen finish.
Unfortunately the contractor walked all over the sealant before it was dry (said he had forgotten he was using a sealant he could not walk on until it had dried ??).
He attempted to rectify the problem, but the net effect was worse, with tide marks of sealant mixed with the boot prints. There are also black tyre marks sealed in, from a previous sanding and sealing job that was also a poor job.
The guys were hard working and seem genuine enough, but they are now at a loss to know how to recover the situation. We just want a nice drive and paths: Even though I know it is going to cost more money.
The question is how do we find a real paving expert, who can undo what has been done, clean away the tyre marks and boot prints (and sealant tide marks), re-sand it all and seal it properly? We have failed on both attempts so far to engage somebody who really knows what he is doing, and is prepared to do a thorough job.
Someone from the Sheffield area would be ideal.
Any suggestions? Many thanks.
