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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Type of block and its age
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
