Block paving cleaning in Alloa: the local picture
Around Alloa, 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 you get with our cleaning service

- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints

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.
