Outdoor Yorkstone/Sandstone restoration

Description:

This London outdoor paving project records restoration and bush hammering of Yorkstone or sandstone. The original notes say a textured finish was chosen for a public area, and the gallery shows the paved route, equipment and cordoned work zone. Bush hammering changes the surface texture, so the result should be judged in the context of the actual stone and pedestrian use.

The photographs show the appearance of the restored paving, including areas with visible repair patches. A rougher texture may be chosen to improve grip, but a photograph cannot establish a measured slip-resistance value or compliance with a standard. Drainage, joints and uneven slabs require separate assessment. The original record does not supply a test certificate or an exact area. For similar public paving, specify the desired texture and commission site-specific testing where a slip rating is required.
