Block paving cleaning in Tewkesbury: the local picture
Tewkesbury is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.

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

Cleaning in Tewkesbury: questions
Do you cover Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud?
Yes. We cover Tewkesbury and the places around it, including Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud, and the rest of Gloucestershire.
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.
