Why block paving in Gainsborough needs cleaning and sealing

Gainsborough is the old river town on the Trent in west Lincolnshire, home to the Old Hall and plenty of Victorian brick. Damp air off the river is hard on block paving. The sand between the blocks washes out and moss and weeds root in the gaps. We do block paving cleaning and sealing in Gainsborough, and a deep clean with fresh sand gets most drives looking right again. Sealing is an optional extra.

Block paving cleaning & sealing in Gainsborough by Fenland Property Care

What river damp does to a drive

Close to the Trent, paving in Gainsborough rarely gets a chance to dry out. The joints wash out and fill with weeds and moss, and the blocks start to rock.

✗

Loose blocks

When rain takes the jointing sand away, blocks tip and rock underfoot.

✗

Weed damage

Weeds root between the blocks and, as they grow, slowly lever them up.

✗

Slippery surfaces

Algae turns slippery in the wet, so steps and slopes get risky.

✗

Staining

Oil and algae stain the paving, and it won't sort itself out unless it's cleaned.

Block paving cleaning and sealing in Gainsborough

We clean and seal drives across Gainsborough, including paths and patios.

Rotary clean

A rotary surface cleaner takes the dirt and green growth off, especially where it's built up.

Clearing weeds and moss

We pull the growth out of the joints and then treat them, so regrowth is slower.

Kiln-dried re-sanding

Kiln-dried sand goes back into the joints, which locks the blocks in place.

Sealing

An optional sealant that helps stop stains and weeds, as well as deepening the colour.

Oil and stain treatment

We treat oil spots and stubborn stains separately, especially where a car has stood.

Driveway & patio

Get the patio done as well as the drive and save on a second visit.

What happens on the day

Inspection

To start, we look over the paving and decide how best to clean it.

Deep clean

Then we clean the blocks evenly, so dirt and moss all come off.

Re-sand

After that, fresh sand is brushed into the joints to settle the blocks.

Seal (optional)

Lastly the sealer is applied, so the sand stays put and the colour lifts.

Gainsborough customers often ask

Q: Should my block paving be sealed?

A: You don't have to, but most people find it worthwhile. Sealer binds the jointing sand so it stays in the joints, and that keeps weeds down. It also stops oil soaking in as easily, so the drive needs less looking after.

Q: Why does block paving need re-sanding?

A: Because jointing sand washes away over the years. Then the blocks move and weeds take root, so we brush fresh kiln-dried sand back in.

Q: Can you remove oil from my drive?

A: We treat oil as part of the clean. Most marks improve a lot, although very old oil that has soaked deep may not vanish.

Q: How long will sealing last?

A: A few years, generally. A drive with lots of cars on it will wear the sealer faster, though.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The operative arrived on time, as arranged. Brought the necessary kit to clean an accumulation of dirt, weeds and debris over several years from our drive and patio. This was accomplished by the end of the working day when all was looking pristine. Surfaces had been cleaned down. A week later they were back to fill the gaps with kiln dried sand and now it looks like new.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely brilliant service. Very professional and friendly. Came to give a quote and was pleasantly surprised. My front and back garden look brand new. All slabs are the original colour and weedless and the front is weed free and looks amazing. They worked really hard throughout the day and also returned to finish the work, due to really hot weather. Very good customer service, had a concer and called me back within 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend 👌

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An excellent job.
From start to finish what an absolute pleasure.
No pushy salesman just an authentic genuine quote. Even when I added a couple of bits, nothing was too much trouble. The price was really good too.
Paul and Dale turned up on time on the date stated. Even though the weather was horrible they got cracked on with the job.
They grafted all the time they were there. The work carried out was exceptionally good. They cleaned up all of the mess afterwards and let the place spotless.
I cannot praise them enough.
They treated my mum and her bungalow with the utmost respect.
