Block Paving Cleaning
Service In Lincolnshire

Most block paving requires professional cleaning every 12–24 months.

Our chemical treatment can often maintain results for up to 3 to 5 years!

However, in areas that may be under trees or get a lot of moss falling from the roof, they can get stained and dirty quite quickly. 

Generally speaking, the average block paving will be fine for 2 to 3 years after correct cleaning.

When you use Boston Jet Wash, you’re hiring an experienced expert who is fully insured and able to identify almost all issues before taking the job on. 

Sometimes, people get the quote and decide to give it a go themselves.

It might be tempting to tackle block paving cleaning yourself with a shop-bought or rented professional pressure washer, but this can do more harm than good.

Using excessive pressure or incorrect techniques can damage the surface, remove jointing sand, and even cause the blocks to shift.

Experts warn that improper pressure washing can lead to cracks and surface imperfections, reducing the lifespan of your paving.

Without the right knowledge and equipment, it’s easy to unintentionally cause costly damage.

Our fees are based on the amount of square metres that need cleaning.

This means that all quotes are fairly priced, and it gives us a rough idea of the time frame required for the work. 

There are many different types of block paving; they all require a different approach, but the sheer size of the area determines what our costs will be. 

Yes.

We may need to adjust our methods for cleaning each driveway, but we’ll make sure we’re confident that we can do a perfect job before accepting the work.

Any potential issues will be discussed at the quoting stage.

Chemical treatments are designed to deliver long-term protection by targeting the root cause of moss, algae, and lichen growth.

Instead of just removing what you can see on the surface, these treatments penetrate deeper and eliminate the microscopic spores that lead to regrowth.

Under typical conditions, a professionally applied chemical treatment can keep your block paving looking clean for up to 4–5 years.

Of course, longevity can vary depending on environmental factors.

Areas with heavy shade, poor drainage, or high moisture levels may see regrowth slightly sooner.

That said, even in challenging conditions, biocides significantly slow down the return of organic growth compared to untreated surfaces.

Boston Jet Wash uses high-quality treatments specifically chosen for durability, ensuring your driveway stays cleaner for longer and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

Yes, re-sanding is not just recommended; it’s essential for block paving.

During the cleaning process (especially when pressure washing is involved), the original jointing sand between the blocks is often removed.

This sand plays a crucial role in keeping the blocks stable and preventing movement over time.

Without it, your paving can become loose, uneven, and more susceptible to weed growth.

After cleaning, kiln-dried sand is brushed back into the joints to restore stability and lock the blocks in place.

This step also improves drainage and helps prevent weeds from taking root.

Skipping resanding would be like building a wall without mortar; it might look fine initially, but it won’t last.

Boston Jet Wash ensures this step is completed thoroughly, giving your driveway a solid, professional finish that stands the test of time.

Oil stains are among the toughest challenges when it comes to block paving cleaning.

We generally say that we can remove almost 90% of oil stains.

Because many paving materials are porous, oil can seep deep into the surface, making it difficult to remove completely, especially if it’s been sitting there for a long time.

However, professional cleaning can significantly reduce or even fully remove many stains, depending on their severity and age.

Boston Jet Wash uses specialised cleaning solutions designed to break down oil and lift it from the surface.

While newer stains tend to respond very well to treatment, older or deeply embedded stains may require multiple treatments or may leave a faint shadow.

Even in these cases, the improvement is usually dramatic, restoring a much cleaner and more uniform appearance.

The key is acting quickly; addressing spills early greatly increases the chances of complete removal.

An established oil stain may be impossible to completely remove, but we’ll do our absolute best to do so!

The duration of the cleaning process depends on the size of the area, the level of contamination, and the type of paving.

For an average residential driveway, the cleaning itself can usually be completed within a few hours.

However, the full process, including drying time and resanding, will usually mean a second visit.

It’s important not to rush the process.

Proper cleaning and treatment require time to achieve the best results.

For example, chemicals need time to work effectively and need to sit and seep into the porous stone for a while.

Boston Jet Wash ensures every step is carried out thoroughly, prioritising quality over speed so you get results that truly last.

Because we quote for the area, if the job takes longer than expected, that is on us. 

We do hit challenges from time to time, but we provide a quote and stick with it. 

We want you to be completely satisfied with the work and happy with the results, so if it takes us a little longer than expected, that’s ok.

In almost all cases, yes, professional cleaning can reveal the original colour of your block paving, often making it look almost new again.

It can actually be a little shocking when you thought you had a grey driveway, but it turns out to be red or brown!

Over time, dirt, algae, and stains create a dull, faded appearance that hides the true colour of the blocks.

Once these layers are removed, the transformation can be quite striking.

That said, results can vary depending on the age and condition of the paving.

Some older surfaces may have experienced natural weathering or fading that cannot be completely reversed. E

ven so, professional cleaning will still deliver a significant improvement, restoring vibrancy and uniformity across the surface. 

At first glance, DIY cleaning might seem like a cost-effective option, but the results often fall short of expectations.

Consumer-grade pressure washers typically lack the power and precision needed to tackle deeply embedded dirt, lichen, and stains.

On top of that, without proper knowledge, it’s easy to use incorrect techniques that can damage the paving or create uneven results.

Professional exterior cleaning services, on the other hand, combine advanced equipment, specialist cleaning solutions, and expert techniques to deliver far superior outcomes.

Boston Jet Wash doesn’t just clean the surface: We treat it, protect it, and restore it.

The inclusion of biocides and proper resanding means the results last much longer than a DIY attempt.

When you factor in the time, effort, and potential risk of damage, our professional cleaning often proves to be a better value in the long run.

No! We will do the hard work!

Weeds are a common headache for homeowners.

They thrive in the joints of block paving, where soil and debris accumulate.

Once they take hold, they can spread quickly, breaking up the uniform appearance of your driveway and even causing structural issues over time.

Simply pulling weeds out isn’t enough.

Without proper treatment, they grow back repeatedly, often stronger than before.

That’s why our professional cleaning includes both removal and preventative measures to keep weeds at bay.
