Question 1

How do I clean natural stone?

Accepted Answer

Most stone can be cleaned using water and a soft brush. Avoid aggressive acids or harsh chemical cleaners unless specifically recommended.

Question 2

Does natural stone fade?

Accepted Answer

Natural stone is extremely durable and retains its appearance for many years. Some subtle weathering may occur over time.

Question 3

Can damaged slips be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Individual slips can normally be removed and replaced if required.

Question 4

How often does stone cladding need resealing?

Accepted Answer

Every three to five years for most installations. Exterior surfaces in high rainfall areas may need attention more frequently.

Question 5

How do I remove moss or algae from stone cladding?

Accepted Answer

A specialist biocide stone cleaner applied with a stiff brush will effectively treat moss and algae growth. Avoid pressure washing at high pressure as this can damage the stone surface and dislodge mortar joints. A low pressure rinse is acceptable once the biocide has been applied.

Question 6

Is stone cladding affected by UV light?

Accepted Answer

Natural stone is highly UV stable and will not fade or discolour due to sun exposure in the way that painted or synthetic materials do.
