Planning a block paving cleaning job in Deal
Deal is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
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
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
How we find the cause
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- How much joint sand is left
- Type of block and its age
- Walls, doors and planting to protect

Cleaning in Deal: questions
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.
