Planning a block paving cleaning job in Hindley
In Hindley, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

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.
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
