Planning a block paving cleaning job in Buxton
Around Buxton, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.

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.
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
