Block paving cleaning in Washwood Heath: what to expect
In Washwood Heath, 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 you get with our cleaning service
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.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer
