Block paving cleaning in Coleraine: the local picture
In Coleraine, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
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.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- How much joint sand is left
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Type of block and its age
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
