Block paving cleaning in Ayr: what to expect
Homes in Ayr include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

What you get with our cleaning service
Cleaning washes out some of the jointing sand, so a proper clean is followed by re-sanding with kiln-dried sand once the surface has dried. Many owners then seal the paving to lock the new sand in and keep it cleaner for longer.
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
What we look at first in Ayr
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Type of block and its age
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
