Block paving cleaning in Crowthorne: the local picture
In Crowthorne, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.

What is included?
Cleaning washes out some of the jointing sand, so a proper clean is followed by re-sanding with kiln-dried sand once the surface has dried. Many owners then seal the paving to lock the new sand in and keep it cleaner for longer.
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints

Cleaning in Crowthorne: questions
How often should block paving in Crowthorne be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Crowthorne?
Guide price for Crowthorne: £2.50–£5.50 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
Can you seal my drive straight after cleaning?
Only once it is completely dry and re-sanded. Sealing damp paving traps moisture and can leave a white bloom.
Will cleaning damage my block paving?
Not when it is done with a rotary cleaner at medium pressure and the joints are re-sanded afterwards. High-pressure lances held close are what cause damage.
