Block paving cleaning in Driffield: the local picture
Driffield is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Sloping drives are common in parts of Yorkshire, which affects falls, steps and drainage at the bottom of the drive.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Driffield?
For Driffield, our guide is £2.50–£4.50 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £115–£225. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer

Itemised quotes

Repair before replace
If your drive can be fixed or re-laid, we will say so.
Water planned first
Falls, channels and soakaways are designed before the pattern is chosen.
Edges set in concrete
Every edge restraint is bedded and haunched, so the paving cannot creep.
Cleaning in Driffield: 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.

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.
