Cleaning Paving

Cleaning paving is normally carried out by power washing although the better way is to use a 'hot' power wash if you want to be sure of killing off all the algae and moss that accumulates especially on block paving and driveways.

These more powerful machines simply heat up the water that's passed through them effectively killing things that cold water can't compete with, it also reduces the amount of water that's used.

Chemicals that are kind to the environment can also be applied to the surface prior to cleaning helping to release the many layers of dirt and grime, not to mention oil, grease and all the other spills that go unnoticed over the years.

Patios and other types of paving also have the additional soiling by animal waste that isn't always apparent, nevertheless, this presents a health risk if not addressed regularly. Some chemicals will prevent the spread of bacteria but a good cleaning regime adds protection where needed.

Rotary cleaners are now regularly used that isolate sections and 'pass over' the surface cleaning effectively ready for a sealant to be applied further protecting your paving.

Sealing Paving

Whenever possible your surfaces should be sealed to reduce the amount of unnecessary cleaning which can eradicate sand jointing on block paving, this must be replaced to secure the integral strength of pavers.

Once pavers have been re-sealed with the appropriate sand a sealant can then be applied to 'lock in' and compact the surface.

We find that the best sealants sink 'into' the surface allowing good traction underfoot and don't leave a film on the top that can be slippery at times.

Not really the best for block paving on a gradient!

Aftercare

Regular spraying with a neutral cleaner that takes away any oil or the build up of algae is a good idea.

This doesn't need to take a long time or is difficult in any way just a little bit of time to apply, moving around by brush, then washing off with a hose.

This maintenance will reduce the amount of money you'll spend long term and keeps your surfaces looking good, hygienically clean and doesn't allow any build up of harmful deposits.

Citrus cleaners we find are the best as the don't affect sealants but keep your paving at it's best indefinitely.

Throughout the seasons your paving is under attack with deposits from trees and shrubs but doesn't become obvious until the cold, rain and damp conditions take a hold and spread moss and algae before you have chance to notice.

Routine maintenance and regularly cleaning paving will prevent this from happening!

A note from Mike
The kitchen design was 'stunning' and I was fortunate enough to be called in to 'complement' the kitchen with my tiling.
I was made welcome by the customers and I would highly recommend Ikea Kitchens without hesitation.
