Block paving cleaning in Newton Abbot: the local picture

Newton Abbot is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.

The South West is wetter than the east of England, so falls and drainage are planned before the pattern is chosen.

What you get with our cleaning service

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.

  • Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
  • Pre-treatment where needed
  • Weeds and moss removed from the joints
  • Optional biocide and sealer
  • Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)

How we find the cause

  • Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
  • How much joint sand is left
  • Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
  • Walls, doors and planting to protect
  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

Falls, channels and soakaways are designed before the pattern is chosen.

The site is swept, the joints are filled and you are shown how to look after the paving.

Honest timescales

We tell you how long the job takes and what can delay it, such as approvals and weather.

Cleaning in Newton Abbot: 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.

How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Newton Abbot?

Guide price for Newton Abbot: £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.
