How to Repair Broken Patio Slabs
The paving experts at Simply Paving told Fabulous how you can fix broken patio slabs, no fuss.
Experts advised: “If you have a loose paving slab, it is unlikely that it can be lifted directly by hand. Instead, you’ll probably need a hammer and chisel to free your patio pavers.
“To remove loose slabs without damaging the slabs, carefully remove the mortar around the slab with the chisel and rubber mallet until the slab comes completely loose.
“Then, slide the shovel into the opening left by the mortar and remove the paver from the patio.
“When lifting it, place a small piece of wood under the shovel to act as a lever, making the task easier and protecting the slab underneath.
“When the paver starts to give way, place the cylindrical wood underneath it and roll the slab off the patio.”
“What a find!”
If you’re on a strict budget, you can always try using fairy liquid, he says. Chris Bonnett of GardeningExpress.co.uk.
The green-fingered expert told The Sun: “There’s no need to spend money on a specialist patio cleaning product if you want to get rid of dirt from your flagstones.
“One of the easiest methods involves using washing up liquid.”
You probably already have some at home. But if you need to buy some, you can buy a 500ml bottle for 69p from Asda. If you’re looking to buy big brand Fairy Liquid, a 383ml bottle will cost £1.50 at Asda.
“All you need to do is put some dish soap in the bottom of a bucket and fill it with warm tap water,” said Chris.
“Pour the cleaning solution onto your patio and scrub with a stiff-bristled brush to get rid of stains and debris.”
At Wilko you can buy a brush for less than £2.
