Block paving cleaning in Bradford: the local picture
Across Bradford, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.
Yorkshire has everything from stone-built terraces to large new estates, so block choice often follows the house: clay or tumbled blocks for older homes, crisp concrete for newer ones.

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

Cleaning in Bradford: questions
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.

Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
