Block paving cleaning in Bedlington: what to expect

In and around Bedlington, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.

Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.

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.

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

From enquiry to finished paving

    An itemised quote with the specification, the price and the start date.

  4. The work

    Our paving team builds it to the agreed specification and leaves the site swept.

How we work

Water planned first

Falls, channels and soakaways are designed before the pattern is chosen.

Edges set in concrete

Every edge restraint is bedded and haunched, so the paving cannot creep.

The dig and sub-base in writing

Your quote states the depth of dig, the sub-base thickness and how it is compacted.

One point of contact

You deal with one team from survey to sign-off, with work carried out by paving teams working under S&K.

Cleaning in Bedlington: questions

Do you cover Cramlington, Blyth and Ashington?

Yes. We cover Bedlington and the places around it, including Cramlington, Blyth and Ashington, and the rest of Northumberland.

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.

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.
