Rugeley is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.

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.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
