Block paving cleaning in Faversham: what to expect
Faversham 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 does a block paving cleaning job involve?
Cleaning washes out some of the jointing sand, so a proper clean is followed by re-sanding with kiln-dried sand once the surface has dried. Many owners then seal the paving to lock the new sand in and keep it cleaner for longer.
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls

Cleaning in Faversham: questions
Do you cover Whitstable, Sittingbourne and Canterbury?
Yes. We cover Faversham and the places around it, including Whitstable, Sittingbourne and Canterbury, and the rest of Kent.
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.
How often should block paving in Faversham be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
