BLOCK PAVING REFURBISHMENT

Wind and rain and the passing of time causes severe harm to block paving and weeds grow through the smallest gaps, causing your once proud paving to look shabby and in need of attention.

The answer is here!   Not only do we clean your block paving, we also offer a complete refurbishment service. Whatever the size of the installation - from small household driveway to industrial car park - the process is the same:-

1. The area is swept over to remove any lose debris.
2. Any stains or chewing gum are treated with the application of suitable chemicals.
3. The block paving is meticulously pressure washed using a rotary washer connected to high pressure washer (3000psi/200 Bar). Pressure washing removes a small amount of jointing sand and any weeds, moss, algae, lichens, dirt and grease.
4. In order to restore your property to its original condition all walls, fences or boundaries are washed down to remove any deposits. All windows affected are professionally cleaned for FREE.
5. Once cleaned the block paving is treated with an industrial herbicide (weed killer) to eliminate remaining weeds and roots.
6. Once the paving is dry the area is re-sanded using kiln dried silica sand and vibrated (compacted) back into the joints.
7. You then have the OPTION of having the paving sealed. The sealer we use is called PIC-SEAL, which is a heavy duty sealer designed to enhance block paving. Not only will it penetrate and protect the blocks from future stains but it also hardens the jointing sand, helping to inhibit weed growth. If required we can also add an anti-slip product to make the paving safer under foot.

WARNING: The use of inferior quality or cheap sealers can cause staining to your paving, resulting in expensive measures such as paint stripping to correct the problem. It is imperative to ensure that you use a reliable contractor for sealing work.



MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME
Finally we offer a maintenance programme: every three months we will re-sand (if required) and re-apply weedkiller. This service is available for both sealed and non-sealed installations. Sealed installations will still benefit from the treatment as it stops weeds from growing on top of the seal. For the unsealed installations the weedkiller will prevent weeds from establishing themselves in the jointing sand. For more details please contact us.
