Block paving cleaning in Nelson, Lancashire: what to expect
In Nelson, Lancashire, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- How much joint sand is left
- Type of block and its age
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth

Cleaning in Nelson, Lancashire: 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.
How often should block paving in Nelson, Lancashire be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Colne, Burnley and Accrington?
Yes. We cover Nelson, Lancashire and the places around it, including Colne, Burnley and Accrington, and the rest of Lancashire.
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.
