Block paving cleaning in Crewe: what to expect
Across Crewe, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Crewe?
For Crewe, our guide is £2.50–£5 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £125–£250. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

What is included?
Block paving cleaning removes moss, algae, weeds and ground-in dirt from the surface and the joints, usually with a rotary surface cleaner on a pressure washer, which cleans evenly without the stripes a hand lance leaves. A biocide treatment can be applied to slow regrowth.
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)

Cleaning in Crewe: questions
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.
How often should block paving in Crewe be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
