Across Chingford, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.

Cleaning in Chingford: questions
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.
