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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Type of block and its age
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
