Block paving cleaning in Hartlepool: the local picture
Across Hartlepool, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.
Former colliery ground and clay soils occur across the North East, so the survey checks for soft spots before the sub-base depth is set.

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)
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer

Cleaning in Hartlepool: questions
Do you cover Peterlee, Billingham and Stockton-on-Tees?
Yes. We cover Hartlepool and the places around it, including Peterlee, Billingham and Stockton-on-Tees, and the rest of County Durham.
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.
