Block paving cleaning in Hertford: the local picture
Hertford is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.

What you get with our cleaning service
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.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- 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)
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
How we find the cause
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
