Paver cleaning
in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw
Open exposure to the west wind wears the verges and regularly tears off badly bedded ridge tiles. That is why paver cleaning comes back so often in our schedule in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw.
BeforeAfter
The context in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw
Why here in particular
On the edge of the Pajottenland, Sint-Pieters-Leeuw brings together village centres, large residential zones and open farmland. In practice, the open exposure to west winds wears the verges and regularly tears off badly sealed ridge tiles.
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 Sint-Pieters-Leeuw
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
Do grease stains come out?
The recent ones, yes. An old ingrained stain can leave a shadow: we say so before the job, not after.
Does it have to be redone every year?
No. With a water-repellent, a rinse with clean water once a year is enough for 5 to 8 years.
Does the stripping take the sand out of the joints?
Partly, yes, and that is unavoidable. Which is why repointing is part of the job and not a surprise extra.
Do you come out to Sint-Pieters-Leeuw with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Sint-Pieters-Leeuw is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
