Block paving cleaning in Longton: the local picture

In Longton, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.

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?

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.

  • Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
  • Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
  • Weeds and moss removed from the joints

Cleaning in Longton: 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 Longton be cleaned?

Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
