Block paving cleaning in Heston: the local picture
Homes in Heston 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 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.
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints

Cleaning in Heston: questions
Do you cover Hounslow, Southall and Hayes?
Yes. We cover Heston and the places around it, including Hounslow, Southall and Hayes, and the rest of Greater London.
How often should block paving in Heston 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.
