Planning a block paving cleaning job in Cambuslang
In Cambuslang, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

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.
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
