With a toothbrush ? Give us a few facts to start maybe, like what kit, water supply, degree of soiling, drainage, does he have a clue, etc etc etc

Hi thanks for your reply. We will be using professional equipment,lances and rotarys. We will be pulling water from a standpipe. The paving is newly laid but has had a lot traffic i.e footfall and vehicles. The operatives are fully trained.

18" fsc @ 21 ltrs ? I did some similar recently and had to use a rotary with a black pad with kiln dried sand to remove the tyre tracks. I think that worked out at 100m / hour but was quite a bad site with the return for the tyres the next night
