What does a block paving cleaning job involve?
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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Type of block and its age
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
