Cleaning and Maintenance

Hardscape work in conjunction with specialist cleaning providers, to ensure your access to reliable, trusted providers of services to ensure maximum lifespan from your paving & façades.

OUR SERVICES

Post-Construction Cleaning

With construction activities on site having potential to grind dirt and grime into surfaces or leave stubborn residue from mortar / joint compound, you’ll want to ensure that the final stages of presenting your investment are undertaken by experts.

Utilising van mounted, hot, low-pressure, non-contact rotary cleaners, we deliver deep and effective cleaning even on delicate materials, with efficiency, safety and noise reduction, for minimal disruption to the surrounding area (we even recover & recycle the water for compliance with environmental regulations).

Maintenance Programmes

We can establish a cost-effective cleaning regimen, with biocides for locations where green surface growth is an issue, that will present your paving & facade investment at its best. This improves public perception of your space, increasing footfall, dwell times and revenue for surrounding commerce, while removing the need for costly deep cleans in years to come.

Stain Removal

For established areas, footfall and other traffic can diminish the surface appearance over time. Chewing gum and other detritus bringing a unique challenge to existing street cleaning services.

Our high temperature, deep cleaning process can be quickly applied to any location, for the smallest spaces through to expansive schemes, returning everything to pristine condition.

Protective Treatments

While the our expert advisors here at Hardscape ensure you’ve the right material for your location, providing products with a long lifespan, you may choose to further protect your space with surface treatments.

Adding breathable, protective treatments to reduce stone porosity for high traffic areas, can reduce future cleaning needs or minimise your needed maintenance schedule, all without affecting the beautiful, natural materials you’ve chosen.

Drone Surveys

Ensuring you target your cleaning and maintenance needs, and confirm the results for quality control, can often require further external services, but we take care of everything. A drone survey and report are undertaken for all sites before, during and after completion of works, for total peace of mind.

Natural stone paving is an investment in strong, stable paving that lasts for decades, but wear from traffic and heavy footfall can deteriorate the surface, with small chips, marks and discolouring hiding it’s original beauty.

Replacement is always an option, but when you need an environmentally friendly solution that avoids that carbon impact, Hardscape can help give your paving a new lease of life.

Utilising time-tested vacuum-assisted diamond grinding processes, combined with our in-depth knowledge of processing natural stone, we can present you the option to refinish your stone paving in-situ.

By grinding between 1mm and 5mm off the top surface of your stone paving, we can create a new surface that looks as good as the first day it was laid.

The process is also a perfect solution to improve accessibility for wheelchairs, pushchairs, and bicycles on cobbled areas, creating a more level surface that complies with modern standards for urban development.

Our experienced site teams bring all the specialist equipment needed to site, undertaking a virtually dust-free process where the surface debris is collected by vacuum and disposed of off-site. Additional stabilisation of joints can be undertaken if your own contractors aren’t able to undertake such repairs.

Choose from rough grind, fine grind, sanding and shot blasting to get the right surface finish for your location.

Vacuum-assisted diamond grinding is undertaken to a prior agreed depth and finish, which is determined by completing a trial area on site to achieve the desired aesthetic. We recommend a post construction steam clean and seal following the refinishing process to aid future maintenance.

• Cost effective solution to revitalising aged natural stone paving.
• Quick and easy, most surface treatments allow processing of up to 150m² per day.
• Environmentally friendly, typically 1% of the carbon footprint compared to supply & install of new natural stone paving.
• Minimal site disruption with none of the usual paving replacement ‘construction site’ issues.
