We have currently got decorators painting the exterior of our house and
somehow some paint (both black and cream) has been splashed onto our
sandstone patio slabs.
Any ideas on how to remove this safely?

Get the decorators to remove the paint. If they refuse use nitromors and the
decorators foreskin.

and admire the reasons why they were laid the other way up, enjoying
the appearance of the mortar blobs/stains now visible on the "new"
faces......

QC on here seems to be low of late??

Instruct those who splashed it to do so before paying the bill. Perhaps they
will then remember to cover up next time.

For some types of block paving its actually a perfectly valid
solution... many paving slabs will be one way up though.
