What is included?
Block paving cleaning removes moss, algae, weeds and ground-in dirt from the surface and the joints, usually with a rotary surface cleaner on a pressure washer, which cleans evenly without the stripes a hand lance leaves. A biocide treatment can be applied to slow regrowth.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
How we find the cause
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Type of block and its age
