Driveway Repointing

Driveway Repointing

Sometimes professional driveway cleaning alone, is not enough to complete the refurbishment and restore driveways to their original condition and appearance, and this can be due to physical damage, which is sometimes caused by settlement for example, or more commonly the jointing sand or grout, according to the type of paving, has been lost or deteriorated over time, allowing further water ingress, weed growth, and even attack from boring insects, such as ants and some bees or wasps etc.!

Driveway paving can then require more thorough refurbishment work that may include: lifting any sunken areas and relaying to restore the necessary levels and falls, or removing the weeds and insect nests, plus the failed or deteriorated joint mortar or grout, followed by overall re-sanding for concrete blocks, or repointing / regrouting with the right type of paving joint material for natural stone setts/cobbles and slabs/flags (generally the same things just depending on where you come from!)

Fortunately, once again, this is No Problem for CR Services, as we will professionally lift and restore any sunken or damaged areas, remove weeds and any insect nests, as well as any failed jointing materials, as well as thoroughly cleaning the surfaces, and finally repoint / regrout with the most appropriate paving joint mortar to suit your natural stone setts / cobbles or slabs / flags and their future exposure.

We use only paving joint mortars from NCC Streetscape Limited, who are the UK Distributors for the ‘state of the art’ GftK Jointing Mortars from Germany, which are the best and most efficient on the market and will safely accommodate future traffic as well as frequent high pressure water jet cleaning, to keep your drive in tip top condition for years to come!

Dependant on the type and size of paving stone, slabs or concrete blocks in your drive, CR Services can apply a penetrating impregnation or sealer to greatly reduce any future dirt pick up, staining or growth.
