Block paving cleaning in Greenwich: what to expect
In Greenwich, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Many London streets have controlled parking and narrow frontages, so we measure the car space and the crossover before anything else.

What you get with our cleaning service
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.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
How we find the cause
- Type of block and its age
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth

Cleaning in Greenwich: 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.
Do you cover Canary Wharf, Catford and Peckham?
Yes. We cover Greenwich and the places around it, including Canary Wharf, Catford and Peckham, and the rest of Greater London.
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.
How often should block paving in Greenwich be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
