Paint Spillage on Pavement Outside My House
Anonymous user 14/03/2024 - 2.36 PM
Someone has accidently dropped what looks like a tin of white gloss paint on the pavement outside my house, making an unsightly mess. The spillage is about 1 metre square. This happened when I was out at work and is virtually dry now. How should I try and remove it? I plan to scrape it with a shovel, wire brush it and power wash it. Is this the best approach? Is there a product I can easily buy to help me (the spillage may not be gloss but looks oil based)? Alternatively, should I badger my local authority to attack it with chemicals?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

May be wrong, but i think you are not aloud to touch it, being council property, plus you leave yourself open to a law suit if someone hurts themselves during or after your removal effort.
Get the council to do it, we pay enough in council tax.
