Hello,
Can anybody give any advice on carrying out the above maintenance work.
What is the best way to clean and prepare the concrete and can anyone advise on the best products to use and comment on the use and benefits of anti-slip additives.
Thanks for any assistance

how old is it and has the colour been worn.
It needs thoroughly jetwashing off first, maybe with a bit of diluted acid patio cleaner too if it is really dirty.
Then reseal with a high solids sealer.
If the colour has gone there are ways to dye the sealer too. Most products including an acid wash are available from pattern imprinted concrete suppliers. We use PICS, speak to Stefan Shipley there, he will quite happily talk you through the process.
Most pic sealers are fairly anti slip anyway and just like paving when wet it depends on the pattern.
 
Look for a well reviewed product, then speak to their technical help line before going off on one! Splashing around different acids, cleaners, dyes & stains can effect the final result! better safe then sorry....

Also, whatever product you use ensure it is thoroughly thoroughly dry before you do so - and will stay dry until it goes off! Water quite often taints the sealant & can leave nigh on permanent marks!
