Around Lofthouse, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.

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
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)

Cleaning in Lofthouse: 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.
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.
How often should block paving in Lofthouse be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
