Block paving cleaning in Banbridge: what to expect
In and around Banbridge, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.

What you get with our cleaning service
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.
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints

Cleaning in Banbridge: 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.
Do you cover Newry, Warrenpoint and Newcastle?
Yes. We cover Banbridge and the places around it, including Newry, Warrenpoint and Newcastle, and the rest of County Down.
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 Banbridge be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
