Planning a block paving cleaning job in Newquay
Newquay is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.

What is included?
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.
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
What we look at first in Newquay
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining

- Walls, doors and planting to protect
