Otley block paving — FAQs
Do you re-sand block paving after cleaning?+
Always, on request. Full extraction and kiln-dried refill is what locks the blocks and stops weeds, and it's included on every full drive job in Otley.
How often should block paving be cleaned in Otley?+
In Otley the answer depends on aspect — River-valley damp and dense tree cover along the Wharfe means lichen builds quickly on north-facing patios. For most homes, once every 12–18 months keeps the finish consistent.
Will pressure washing damage my Wharfedale stone flags and York-riven setts?+
Not if the method is right. On Wharfedale stone flags and York-riven setts we run joint-sand extraction and refill at a controlled pressure rather than blasting, which is the right call for market town properties in Otley.
Do you cover the whole of LS21?+
Yes — we're on Otley weekly and cover the LS21 district in full, plus the surrounding villages like Menston, Guiseley, Ilkley.
How long does Block Paving Cleaning take on a typical Otley property?+
A standard two-car block-paved drive takes about a day including re-sanding and any minor repairs. In Otley specifically, most LS21 properties run inside a single visit.
