Lincoln has everything from short terrace frontages to wide drives on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout and the dig.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.

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.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
