Professional block paving cleaning - pressure washing removes weeds, moss, and years of grime. Driveways and patios restored to original condition with optional re-sanding.
Block Paving Gets Neglected
Weeds grow, moss spreads, and your driveway gradually turns green. Professional cleaning brings back the original colour you've forgotten was there.
💡 Pro tip: Re-sanding the joints after cleaning is essential. It stabilises blocks and dramatically slows weed regrowth. Don't skip it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will pressure washing damage my block paving?
Not if done correctly. We use appropriate pressure and technique for the block type. Aggressive washing can dislodge sand - that's why we offer re-sanding after cleaning.
Should I have the joints re-sanded after?
Usually yes. Pressure washing removes some jointing sand. Re-sanding stabilises the blocks and reduces weed regrowth. We recommend it as part of the service.
How long before weeds come back?
Depends on conditions and whether joints were re-sanded. Properly sanded joints slow regrowth significantly. Typically 6-12 months before significant weed return.
Can you treat for moss and algae too?
Yes - we can apply biocide treatment after cleaning to slow regrowth. Particularly useful for shaded driveways that stay damp.
