Planning a block paving cleaning job in Warminster
Warminster is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
The South West is wetter than the east of England, so falls and drainage are planned before the pattern is chosen.

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.
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed

Cleaning in Warminster: 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.
How often should block paving in Warminster 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.
