What is included?
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.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
How we find the cause
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
