Block paving — interlocking concrete or clay blocks laid on a sand bed — is common on driveways and larger courtyards. It relies on jointing sand for stability, so cleaning needs to consider the joints, not just the surface.

How we approach the job
We clean block paving with a surface cleaner at an appropriate pressure, angled to limit sand loss, and detail the joints. Afterwards we will recommend whether kiln-dried jointing sand should be reinstated to lock the blocks back together.
Things to know before you book
- Some sand loss is expected; re-sanding is recommended to maintain stability.

Frequently asked questions
Why is re-sanding important?
Jointing sand holds interlocking blocks in place and reduces weed growth. After cleaning, topping up the sand helps the paving stay stable.
