Block paving cleaning in Cookstown: what to expect
Around Cookstown, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland go through DfI Roads, so we build that timing into the plan for new drives.

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
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
