Planning a block paving cleaning job in Hawarden
Homes in Hawarden include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.

What does a block paving cleaning job involve?
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.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- How much joint sand is left
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio

Cleaning in Hawarden: questions
Can you seal my drive straight after cleaning?
Only once it is completely dry and re-sanded. Sealing damp paving traps moisture and can leave a white bloom.
Will cleaning damage my block paving?
Not when it is done with a rotary cleaner at medium pressure and the joints are re-sanded afterwards. High-pressure lances held close are what cause damage.
How often should block paving in Hawarden be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
