What does a block paving cleaning job involve?
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.
Clay soils are common in parts of the East of England, so drainage and sub-base depth get extra attention.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- How much joint sand is left
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
