Block paving cleaning in Hull: what to expect
Hull has a big mix of housing, from older terraces near the centre to newer estates further out, so no two drives here start from the same ground.
Sloping drives are common in parts of Yorkshire, which affects falls, steps and drainage at the bottom of the drive.

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