depends on the paint, but nitromors is a decent starting point.

Why anyone would want spend a couple of quid cleaning 90p concrete
slabs is however beyond me.

Mine get smashed up for hardcore. Almost as cheap as buying it on ;-)

If its oil paint, caustic soda & wallpaper paste, then pressure wash it
once soaked. But eye protection is essential, and must keep animals &
kids away.

slabs here are £2.38 each B&Q,so it still makes sense to try and clean the
grey paint off (was paint suitable for concrete flooring)as some of the
paint has flaked off with the power washer,which looks real shabby.I will
give nitromos a try though.thanks

Well you are being had, my dear. Go to a local builders merchant. And
get them to deliver too. I am fairly sure they are less than a pound.
