Questions
Can you get black spot off sandstone?
In many cases yes, or it fades a great deal. Black spot is a lichen that roots into the stone, so deep, long-established spots may lighten rather than vanish. We'll say what to expect from your photos.
Will pressure washing damage sandstone?
It can if done at high pressure close up, which erodes the surface. We clean natural stone at lower pressure with a cleaner suited to it.
What do you re-point with?
On our most recent sandstone restoration we used ProJoint Titan, a hard-wearing jointing compound for patios.
