Step 2 - Moving & Protecting
This stage consists of surface preparation, removal of any unauthorised cars, bins etc. All loose debris can then be swept clear. We lift any drainage channel grates, check the drains and remove any debris.

Step 3 – Pre-Spray & Agitate
The parking area is sprayed with a fungicidal wash or weed killer to kill any live fungal spores or algae that may be growing on the surface of the blocks & potentially stubborn marks like oil leaks or tyre marks are also pre-sprayed and agitated prior to power spraying in order to guarantee their complete removal.

Step 4 - Power Spray
Although process differs slightly from block paving to pattern imprinted concrete, the basic principles of mono blocked parking area cleaning remain the same. We use a professional advanced rotary cleaning system on all driveways, eliminating streaking and minimising mess and damage. Our high pressure industrial rotary washer, removes dirt buildup, moss, algae, weeds and most stains and marks. Finally all doors, windows brickwork are washed and wiped down, leaving the area in the condition it was found in.

Step 5 – Re- Sand or Joint
Having completed the clean Citrus will leave your mono blocked parking areas to completely dry overnight. This step is obviously weather dependent but it is crucial that the area is dry before sanding. We re-sand with kiln dried sand to refill the joints between the blocks & any excess is brushed away leaving your driveway looking rejuvenated & looking like new. On patios and paths we can re-joint where appropriate, using the latest high performance coloured resin jointing compounds that are design to be self draining, while removing the risk of joint picture framing, which is a common problem experienced when using traditional cement based jointing.
