What is included?
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.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland go through DfI Roads, so we build that timing into the plan for new drives.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining

Cleaning in County Armagh: 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.
How often should block paving in County Armagh be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Craigavon, Portadown and Armagh?
Yes. We cover all of County Armagh, including Craigavon, Portadown and Armagh.
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.
