Salisbury has held markets in the city centre since 1227. The Charter Market is currently held in the market place every Tuesday and Saturday consisting of approx. 90 stalls selling a variety of hot and cold foods along with many other goods.
The local council commenced a scheme in 2013 to redevelop the market place in order to make the city a more attractive location for visitors, traders and shoppers. The plans included re-paving the area with granite and York Stone along with adding seating and new lighting.
After the paving installation had been completed Rocan Products were consulted to propose a solution for protecting the newly laid pavers. PureScape®-CE was successfully trialled as the best option to protect the surfaces whilst also enhancing the vibrant colours of the granite pavers. PureScape® was used to protect the smaller York Stone areas. Prior to protecting the surfaces, PureKleen-DP was used to give the surfaces a deep clean and ensuring all surfaces being protected looked ‘as new’.
