Planning a block paving cleaning job in Larkhall
Around Larkhall, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
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
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.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints

Cleaning in Larkhall: 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.
How often should block paving in Larkhall be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
