Block paving cleaning in Hebburn: what to expect
In and around Hebburn, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.

What does a block paving cleaning job involve?
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.
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Optional biocide and sealer

Cleaning in Hebburn: questions
How often should block paving in Hebburn 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.
