Block paving cleaning in Scone: what to expect
Scone is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
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.

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.
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
How we find the cause
- How much joint sand is left
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Type of block and its age
