What you get with our cleaning service
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.
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls

Cleaning in Kidsgrove: 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.
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.
