Block paving cleaning in Crieff: what to expect
In and around Crieff, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

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

Cleaning in Crieff: questions
Do you cover Auchterarder, Perth and Scone?
Yes. We cover Crieff and the places around it, including Auchterarder, Perth and Scone, and the rest of Perth and Kinross.
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.
How often should block paving in Crieff be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
