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.
- 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
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
