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.
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
What we look at first in Woking
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- How much joint sand is left
- Type of block and its age
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

Cleaning in Woking: questions
How often should block paving in Woking be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
Do you cover Guildford, Egham and Walton-on-Thames?
Yes. We cover Woking and the places around it, including Guildford, Egham and Walton-on-Thames, and the rest of Surrey.
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.
