Planning a block paving cleaning job in Annan
Around Annan, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

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