What is included?
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.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.
- 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
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- How much joint sand is left
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining

Cleaning in Merseyside: 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 Merseyside be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Liverpool, Birkenhead and St Helens?
Yes. We cover all of Merseyside, including Liverpool, Birkenhead and St Helens.
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.
