Planning a block paving cleaning job in Llanelli
In Llanelli, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Llanelli?
For Llanelli, our guide is £2.50–£4.50 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £115–£235. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

What does a block paving cleaning job involve?
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.
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints

Cleaning in Llanelli: questions
How often should block paving in Llanelli be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Ammanford, Carmarthen and Gorseinon?
Yes. We cover Llanelli and the places around it, including Ammanford, Carmarthen and Gorseinon, and the rest of Dyfed.
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.
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.
