Planning a block paving cleaning job in Falkirk
In Falkirk, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
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
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.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
How we find the cause
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Type of block and its age

Cleaning in Falkirk: questions
Do you cover Stenhousemuir, Grangemouth and Bo'ness?
Yes. We cover Falkirk and the places around it, including Stenhousemuir, Grangemouth and Bo'ness, and the rest of the Forth Valley.
How often should block paving in Falkirk be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
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.
