What does a block paving cleaning job involve?

Block paving cleaning removes moss, algae, weeds and ground-in dirt from the surface and the joints, usually with a rotary surface cleaner on a pressure washer, which cleans evenly without the stripes a hand lance leaves. A biocide treatment can be applied to slow regrowth.

Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

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

How we find the cause

  • Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
  • Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
  • Type of block and its age
  • Walls, doors and planting to protect

Cleaning in Gwynedd: questions

How often should block paving in Gwynedd be cleaned?

Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.

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.

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.
