What the service covers
Patio & paving repointing with the site in mind.
Failed joints make paving look tired and allow weeds and debris to settle. GEM removes unsuitable loose material and renews joints where the surrounding surface is fit for the work.
- Existing paving condition assessed first
- Loose or failed joint material removed
- Joint finish matched to the practical needs of the surface
- Can be paired with cleaning where appropriate

The detail between the slabs
Small joints. Big difference.
Failed paving joints make an otherwise sound patio look tired. This close-up GEM pair shows the difference careful joint preparation and renewal can make.
Before.
After.
Repointing only makes sense when the surrounding slabs and base are suitable. GEM checks movement and condition first, removes failed material where appropriate and renews the joints as part of a tidy repair.

Useful answers
Questions about
patio & paving repointing.
Can every patio be repointed?+
No. If slabs are moving or the base has failed, repointing alone may not be the right repair.
Should the paving be cleaned first?+
Often yes, because joints and edges need to be visible and free from debris. The right sequence depends on the condition.
How long before the area can be used?+
That depends on the agreed jointing method and conditions. You will be given practical aftercare guidance.
