The Brief

What we were asked to do

The Leather Bottle is a well-established Young’s pub in Earlsfield, with a busy front terrace, block-paved forecourt and an extensive rear beer garden. General footfall and weathering had left the resin-bound surfacing, block paving, pathways and outside bar area looking tired. GCS Services Ltd was instructed to carry out a full exterior clean across the site, including re-sanding the block paviours.
