What is included?
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.
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- How much joint sand is left
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth

Cleaning in Ponteland: 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.
Do you cover Cramlington, Bedlington and Morpeth?
Yes. We cover Ponteland and the places around it, including Cramlington, Bedlington and Morpeth, and the rest of Northumberland.
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.
How often should block paving in Ponteland be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
