Planning a block paving cleaning job in Rawtenstall
In and around Rawtenstall, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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)
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
