Block paving cleaning in Stranraer: the local picture
Around Stranraer, 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.
Work in Stranraer is by arrangement: we confirm availability and any travel charge before a visit, and many jobs can be priced from photos first.

What you get with our cleaning service
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
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
