Block paving cleaning in Abergavenny: what to expect
Abergavenny 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.
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.

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.
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer

Cleaning in Abergavenny: questions
How often should block paving in Abergavenny be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
Do you cover Brynmawr, Abertillery and Pontypool?
Yes. We cover Abergavenny and the places around it, including Brynmawr, Abertillery and Pontypool, and the rest of Gwent.
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.
