Driveway Cleaning

Gray’s External Cleaning are your local specialists for the cleaning, re-sanding and sealing of Block Paving. We regularly refurbish Block Paved driveways and patios in and around Cambridge, including Ely, Huntingdon, sawston, Chatteris and Newmarket.

Block paving looks great when first laid but like all external horizontal surfaces, it will gather dirt and grime over time. Also car tyres can leave marks on the surface which will lower its appearance.

An additional problem that block paved surfaces suffer from is that they have sand-filled joints where weeds often grow, which makes the surface look very unkempt!

We use a variety of techniques and products to remedy this situation.

Our procedure for refurbishing block paving is usually:

·        If necessary, apply weedkiller as a pre-treatment

·        Pressure wash the surface, using our powerful petrol-engined pressure washer. This operates at far higher pressures than a typical domestic unit, giving a far better, deeper clean

·        Having given the surface several days to fully dry out, we sweep in new kiln-dried sand into the joints

·        We seal the surface with two coats of Smartseal™ Block Paving Sealer, which is available in Matt, Silk or Gloss finishes.

That is the usual procedure but we do also sometimes use Smartseal™ Eco-friendly Block Paving sealer which is an excellent weed-inhibitor and is odourless.

Another option is to use Block Magic which is available in Black or Red and has a blend of liquid pigments which will re-colour the surface. The surface is then sanded and a clear coat of sealant is put over the top.
