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.

  • Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
  • Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
  • Optional biocide and sealer
  • Weeds and moss removed from the joints
  • Pre-treatment where needed

How we find the cause

  • Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
  • Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
  • Type of block and its age
  • Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
