Clean Scene: Block Paved Driveway Clean and Seal in WF9
Cleaning Block Paving can be Difficult!
When it comes to first impressions, a driveway does a lot of talking. But sometimes, instead of saying “welcome home,” it’s more like “weeds, dirt, and moss live here rent-free.” That was the case with a recent project in Upton, WF9, where we at Ex-Clean were called in to rescue a block paved driveway that had seen better days.
The customer had already tried tackling it themselves:
“we have tried to do it ourselves but it never works out”
Sound familiar? Block paving can be tricky; without the right equipment, products, and know-how, DIY efforts often leave weeds and dirt lurking beneath the surface, ready to bounce back. That’s where we come in.
Step 1: High Pressure Clean – Saying Goodbye to Weeds and Dirt
Armed with our professional high-pressure cleaning equipment, we gave the driveway a thorough blast. This removed the built-up dirt, moss, and those pesky weeds that had made themselves at home between the blocks. The transformation at this stage alone is always satisfying — like peeling the film off a new phone, but much louder and wetter.
Step 2: Disinfectant & Biocide – Stopping Regrowth in Its Tracks
Cleaning is one thing, but keeping it clean is another. That’s why we don’t stop at just washing. We applied a specialist disinfectant and biocide treatment to kill off microorganisms and prevent regrowth. It’s the secret ingredient that keeps the driveway looking sharp for much longer, and it helps ensure those weeds don’t make a quick comeback.
Step 3: Re-Sanding – preparing for sealing
Once everything was clean and dry, we brushed kiln-dried sand back into the joints. This step is crucial — it helps lock the blocks firmly in place and adds stability, reducing movement and wear over time.
Step 4: Sealing – The Protective Finish with Low-Slip Granules
Finally, we applied a professional-grade sealant with a matt finish and low-slip granules. Not only does this protect the surface from the elements, stains, and future weed growth, but it also enhances the colour of the paving, making it look like new. Plus, those granules give added grip, beacuse this driveway was on a slight slope — perfect for the unpredictable British weather.
The Result: From Tired to Terrific
The finished driveway looked fantastic — even better than the customer had hoped. Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what they had to say in their Google Review:
“Our driveway looks fantastic! James was professional, honest and realistic about what we could expect. Despite the good old British weather delaying some elements of the work, James kept us well informed on what would happen and when. We had our driveway cleaned, resanded and sealed. We would highly recommend James and would definitely use James again for future work.”
We love hearing feedback like this — it’s why we do what we do.
