Block paving cleaning in Holloway: the local picture
In Holloway, 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.
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
What we look at first in Holloway
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

Cleaning in Holloway: questions
How often should block paving in Holloway 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.
