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.

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)

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.
