What does a block paving cleaning job involve?
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
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
How we find the cause
- How much joint sand is left
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Type of block and its age
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
