Block paving cleaning in Failsworth: what to expect
Failsworth is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- How much joint sand is left
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
