Block paving cleaning in Heswall: what to expect
In Heswall, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

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.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
How we find the cause
- Type of block and its age
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
