Planning a block paving cleaning job in Oswestry
Oswestry 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.
Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.

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

Cleaning in Oswestry: 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.
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.
