Block Paving

In recent years block paving has become the number one choice for driveways and patios. As we all know, it looks impressive when first laid but within a short space of time nature takes it toll and weeds, moss along with oil/diesel deposits diminish the appearance of your expensive investment. Fortunately Driveway Restoration has the answer.

7 Point Refurbish Programme

7-point refurbishment programme for cleaning and restoration of block paving to ensure long lasting results.

1. Minor repairs made to the driveway if required.

2. The area is thoroughly cleaned to remove the grime, dirt, weeds, lichen, moss and algae that has built up, using a very efficient 3600 psi cold water pressure washer coupled with a Rotary Flat Surface Cleaner, specially designed to contain the dirt it removes.

3. The surface is then examined for any remaining stains, such as Oil or Mortar and specific corrective action taken.

4. Where required areas will be treated with a broad-spectrum fungicidal wash to help eliminate remaining weeds and spores and to inhibit re-growth.

5. To fully restore the block paving to prime condition, a special kiln-dried silica sand is brushed into the joints.

6. To provide a long lasting finish, a high quality two coat acrylic sealer can be applied to the surface to reduce future staining, enhance the natural colour of the block paving and prevent the further growth of weeds, algae, lichen and moss.

7. Your driveway will be cleared of any debris arising from the pressure washing and final checks will be carried out by our expect team to ensure that we have met the high standards we set ourselves.

Minor repairs

Some driveways suffer from subsidence. Providing the damage is not too extensive we are able to offer a repair service, subject to site visit and quotation.

Removing stains

Although the removal of oil stains, on block paving can be difficult to remove, experience has shown that, providing the correct procedures are adopted, our success rate in completely removing oil stains is around 90%.

Sealing

Driveway Restoration fully recommends that you choose to seal your driveway after cleaning to ensure your driveway remains weed free and stable; prolonging lifespan and preventing paving failure. This is achieved by using our high quality two coat acrylic sealer. The acrylic when dry, hardens to protect the jointing sand from being washed away. This in turn protects the sub-base from being eroded and your driveway subsiding, thereby avoiding costly repairs. It also inhibits the growth of moss and weeds, and should you get an oil spill, it can be simply hosed or power washed away without causing damage to your driveway.
