Planning a block paving cleaning job in Hythe
Hythe 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.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.

What is included?
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.
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
How we find the cause
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
