What is included?
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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Type of block and its age
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Walls, doors and planting to protect

Cleaning in Dumfries and Galloway: questions
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.
How often should block paving in Dumfries and Galloway be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
