- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints

Cleaning in Ballymena: questions
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Ballymena?
Guide price for Ballymena: £2.50–£5 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
Do you cover Antrim, Ballyclare and Ballymoney?
Yes. We cover Ballymena and the places around it, including Antrim, Ballyclare and Ballymoney, and the rest of County Antrim.
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.
