Block paving cleaning in Stretford: what to expect
Stretford is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

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.
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
How we find the cause
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- How much joint sand is left
