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.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
How we find the cause
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- How much joint sand is left
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio

Cleaning in Somerset: questions
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 Somerset be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Bath, Weston-super-Mare and Taunton?
Yes. We cover all of Somerset, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare and Taunton.
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.
