My guess the cobblework was not laid correctly (how long is it there?).

you will get some weeds over time when dirt builds up between joints.

Can't give you a recommendation for the South East for a person to fix it. Most Maintenance and Landscape Gardeners will easily sort it for you.

You can also get a herbicide that will stop weeds germination over a period of time 6 months and more . sometimes mixed with glyphosate (Roundup) which kills most weeds with a week of application.

Always read the instructions.

A Photo of the site to see the problem might help more.

Have you tried this? Before you attempt it, wear a pair of good strong gloves and try to pull them out with root included, some weeds it works on.

I use Hytrol for killing weeds it kills everything for up to a year. Just follow the instructions. I don't have cobbles so you might need to check it won't stain them.

I can recommend a very good landscape gardener who'd be able to advise you.
He lives on the Dunmore Road.

PM me and I'll give you his contact details.

is the cobble cracked, or is it just dirt build up and the weeds grow from that? I had the latter and just spent a few hours with a power hose, sorted it out brilliantly!
