Such defects are pointed out to the client and replacements, in most cases, can be arranged, or replacement options identified.
* SCRUBBING - The Team commences machine scrubbing and removing surface residues, lichen and moss.
* STAIN AND DISCOLOURED BRICKWORK TREATMENT - Oil spills and other such stains or discolourations will be treated prior to the commencement of the Jet Foam Degreasent procedure. This will ensure that the complated driveway will have a uniform finish and look as close to the standard of the original quality.
* JET FOAM DEGREASING AND CLEANSING - Proprietary, non invasive and environmentally approved cleaning materials are used at all times throughout the procedure. Block paver, brickwork and stone materials, as agreed with the Client, will be jet washed and thoroughly rinsed, in order to remove all debris and cleansing residues.
* DRYING PROCESS - In order to provide the best environment for the sand infill work to commence, and so that the Sealer achieves the very best effect, the driveway is left to dry thoroughly.
Day 2 - (Size of driveway dependent)
* SAND INFILL - Over time the sand infill between the block pavers becomes eroded. The sand is very important as it forms a bond and a cushion between the engineered, high quality, bricks. Without this cushion the bricks will begin to move out of place causing bumps and dips in the driveway. Replacing the sand and ensuring that the "cushion" is in place, prior to the Sealer being applied, is paramount to ensuring that driveway condition lasts for as long as possible.
* SEALER APPLICATION - The surface is re-inspected and when the Team are satisfied with the condition the approved Sealer solution is applied in 2 coats, allowing the first to dry thoroughly before the second, and final coat, is applied. This procedure can take up to 4 hours to complete depending on the weather conditions and humidity.
* CLIENT INSPECTION - On completion of the task a full Client/Team inspection is carried out of the work area. Advice and an ongoing call service is available from Driveway Cleaning Services on 0800 917 2620 or by email.
