“Patio joints can be damaged by high-pressure water jets, which can loosen and dislodge the pointing between the slabs.  “Likewise, high-pressure water jets can strip the pigment and surface


material from concrete paving, and weaken and delaminate sandstone and limestone paving too.  “Frequent use of pressure washers at high-pressure should be avoided, as the damage that is


done to your paving is cumulative.  “So, the more you do it, the higher the chance that the pressurised water jet will do some visible damage.” To protect your patio, Cass suggested using a


sealant.  He said: “The solution to most of these issues is to enhance the protection of your paving with a sealant that protects the capillaries and stops water and other gunk from getting


into them, especially in high footfall areas like driveways.
