Frequently asked Questions

How long will it take to deep clean the area?

To clean an area of block paving the size of 6 car parking spaces would take less than a day.

Of what does the deep cleaning of block paving consist?

This would consist of the thorough deep cleaning of the block paving, the washing down of the entire area including windows, doors and anything else that may have been splashed. When the area was completely dry a return visit would be arranged to brush in new sand between the blocks.

How much does this cost?

This of course, depends on the size of the area to be cleaned, it's condition, what type of surface it is, the location the access available etc.

How long does the cleaning last?

This again depends on various factors but there is no real reason why it should not last for several years particularly if one choices to have an algae inhibitor applied to the area. This will keep the algae at bay for up to 3 years.

How do you remove the graffiti?

This is done through appylying a chemical, leaving it to penetrate the graffiti and then through the use of  water that is pressurised and heated to a maximum temperature of 150 degrees C, it melts away the graffiti.

Will it remove all the graffiti?

We cannot guarantee that it will remove 100% of the graffiti everytime as it depends on how long the graffiti has been there, the porousity of the brick, stone etc. the type of surface, the type of paint used, the location and other factors.

When is the best time to remove graffiti?

Without doubt, the sooner it is removed the better before it has time to dry within the brick. However, we have removed graffiti that has been left for several years but this is extremely time consuming and would have been much easier and cheaper if it had been removed when it was first applied.
