Indian Stone / Jointing Compound Staining
Good morning. I hope that you are well. I am looking for a bit of advice please. We had some Indian Stone paving laid in mid-November 2023. We haven't actually used it, as such yet, as the landscaping work is still ongoing. We have noticed discolouration of the jointing compound / potentially the flags themselves, around some of the flags. As far as we are aware, the tradesmen working on the project have not used any cleaner on the flags. It has just had the occasional jet wash with water throughout the project. Does anyone have any idea as to what the build up / discolouration is please and any advice about how I can go about removing it? The issue is only present around certain flags, not all of them. The two videos here highlight the issue better than I can describe it :- https://youtu.be/dmBaGrDwe0o https://youtu.be/KhIEw1UHGvA The stone used is brand new. Any advice on the root cause or solution to this problem would be much appreciated. Many thanks Jimmy

using a patio heater or fire bowl/pit on a deck
Is it safe to use a patio heater or fire bowl/pit on a deck? In what cases is it safe and when it is not safe? What other safety measures should i consider eitherway? How about the best ways to secure it in place and avoid it causing any issues with the deck? Aside from an outright fire risk, can these sort of heat sources damage decking gradually over time? And if so, to what extent is this possible and how I can do something to stop the problem worsening? Thanks and I look forward to hearing back.
