Yearly Block Paving Cleaning & Maintenance
Help Block Paved Drives Last for Decades
We recommend cleaning block paving on a yearly basis to remove moss, algae and discolouration. The best way to maintain block paving is to use a specialised flat surface cleaner or turbo lance and thoroughly clean the area.
Avoid using a standard jet wash fan lance, as it can displace the sand underneath the blocks.
Once the blocks are clean and have had a day or two to properly dry, you will need to brush fresh kiln dried sand in to stabilise the blocks.
Prevent weeds in block paving
To keep weeds and future growth at bay it’s a good idea to use a quality high solid sealer over the entire surface. Be generous with the sealer and aim to saturate the sand so once dry it sets the sand solid in between the blocks.
at Howard Groundworks & Construction, we can provide comprehensive cleaning services, including annual block paving jetwashing. Expect to pay £6-£8 per sqm for a block paving driveway to be professionally cleaned, re-sanded and sealed.
