If you’re a business, dealing with an unexpected paint spill, you know how quickly it can impact safety and aesthetics. Recently, I provided commercial paint clearance services at a retail park in Leeds, LS11, helping a client restore their block paving efficiently and safely.

First Priority: Assessing the Spill

The spill had been temporarily covered with cardboard, but this only prevented immediate tracking—it didn’t remove the paint. My first step was to assess the scale of the spill and determine the safest and most effective retail park cleaning methods.

Step-by-Step Paint Removal Process

1. Scraping Solid Paint

For paint clearance, removing solid paint first is essential. I carefully scraped away the thickened material, preparing the surface for a more thorough cleaning without damaging the block paving.

2. Pressure Washing for Block Paving Cleaning

Next, I used our industrial pressure washer to remove paint residue embedded in the paving. Block paving cleaning is particularly effective with medium to high-pressure washing, which lifts stubborn stains without harming the surface.

3. Chemical Treatment and Heavy Rinse

To ensure a spotless finish, I applied a light chemical treatment to break down remaining paint, followed by a heavy rinse. This final step guaranteed a clean, professional result.

Out-of-Hours Cleaning for Safety

Because retail parks are high-traffic areas, all work was conducted out-of-hours, ensuring public safety and allowing the cleaning process to be completed efficiently.
