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.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- How much joint sand is left
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining

Cleaning in Devon: questions
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.

Guide price for Devon: £2.50–£5 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.
