Paver cleaning
in Namur
Set against its citadel where the Sambre meets the Meuse, Namur has a dense historic centre roofed in slate and residential districts higher up. Terraces and driveways in clay pavers stripped back thoroughly, joints redone if needed, then a water-repellent treatment that keeps the colour and blocks moss.

The context in Namur
Why here in particular
Backed by its citadel where the Sambre meets the Meuse, Namur has a dense historic centre roofed in slate and residential districts up on the heights. In practice, the narrow, steep roofs in the centre call for slate work and careful zinc work, rather than simple maintenance.
A porous clay paver drinks up water, greens over on the shaded side and fills with moss in the joints. In winter the trapped water freezes and blows the surface apart.

Frequently asked questions
Paver cleaning in Namur
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
Does the water-repellent treatment darken the colour?
The colourless one no, the wet look yes, clearly. We test on one area before treating the whole roof.
How long before you can walk on it again?
A few hours before walking on it, 48 h before putting heavy furniture back or parking a car.
Can a concrete terrace be treated?
Yes, the method is the same. The products change according to the porosity.
Do you come out to Namur with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Namur is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
