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

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