Hi, New member but I've been 'lurking' (I think that's the correct description?) for quite a few weeks.
We have had a 20mm Silver granite patio laid, it's in 2 sections and totals a bit over 100m square. It wasn't on white cement/sand.
There are significant areas of discolouration, and neither the supplier nor the fitter are being much (for much, read any) help.
There are three major types - Rust, black spots and finally some grease from a BBQ. There is also a long, streak mark going across several slabs, so it must be from above.
I have a powerful jet washer, and that doesn't remove any of them.
It's only been laid since May, but it is getting us down so much we've even considered ripping it all up and starting again, but the cost is prohibitive.
Are there any cleaners I can buy and use myself (I'm reasonably handy), or specialist companies that could clean it and later seal it? I am in Loughton, Essex.
Thank you all.
