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.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.
- 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
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
How we find the cause
- How much joint sand is left
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Type of block and its age
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first

Can you seal my drive straight after cleaning?

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.
