Block paving cleaning in Barnet: the local picture
Homes in Barnet include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Front gardens in much of London are short, so parking depth and the dropped kerb usually decide whether a drive is possible.

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.
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
