Paver cleaning
in Uccle
Terraces and driveways in clay pavers stripped back thoroughly, joints redone where needed, then a water-repellent treatment that keeps the colour and blocks moss. We do this in Uccle from our base in Walloon Brabant, always with a site visit to price the work before anything is committed.

The context in Uccle
Why here in particular
A green residential Brussels municipality, Uccle lines up town houses, interwar buildings and villas in the upper neighbourhoods. In practice, Mansards and dormers multiply the number of junctions: that is almost always where the water gets in.
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 Uccle
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
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.
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.
Do you come out to Uccle with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Uccle is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
