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.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
