You will have your own reasons for wanting to clean your paving but it probably boils down to two words: appearance and safety.

To the left is a photograph of one of our more recent undertakings. It has elements of both appearance and safety in its problems.

This picture shows an area of block paving. The paving to the left side of the picture has been cleaned, whereas the paving on the right hand side of the picture has not. You will see that the blocks to the lower right hand side of the picture have extensive moss and weed growth in the joints. The faces of the blocks are not only dirty but have lumps of white lichen type growths on them. Towards the top right hand portion of the picture there is vigorous weed growth in the joints and a layer of slime on the faces of the blocks making the paving very slippery. Prior to washing, all the paving looked as it does on the right hand side. The cleaning was achieved with nothing more than cold water under pressure (3500 psi/215BAR) and a bit of knowledge and experience on our part.

You may want to clean your paving for the following reasons:

Cleaning weeds, moss and other detritus from paved areas prior to putting property on the market
Clearing up after flooding by foul water, river or similar sources
Regular cleansing of waste storage areas
Maintenance of the areas of business premises which the public have access to
Part of a planned maintenance schedule
As a response to a Health and Safety audit

Whatever you’re reasons, contact us, we can help. We welcome the opportunity to quote for your business. There is no charge for a quotation and no obligation on your part until acceptance. Please note that we give written quotations and not verbal estimates, there is a difference. See our contact page for the methods of communicating with us.

All you supply is the water. We supply the rest. We are not tied to taps for water supply, in-fact our equipment will not work directly from a tap since the mains pressure is insufficient for our equipments needs. We use an indirect method of water supply including a bowser for more remote locations. If we can get a vehicle near it, we can clean it.

When you’ve had your paving cleaned why not seal it. This will significantly reduce future maintenance costs and keep that just cleaned look. Please see our sealing page.
