Block paving cleaning in Coatbridge: the local picture
Homes in Coatbridge include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
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 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.
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
How we find the cause
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- How much joint sand is left
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Type of block and its age

Cleaning in Coatbridge: questions
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.
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.
