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.
Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Type of block and its age
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- How much joint sand is left
