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
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)

Cleaning in Chichester: questions
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 Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and Worthing?
Yes. We cover Chichester and the places around it, including Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and Worthing, and the rest of West Sussex.
How often should block paving in Chichester be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
