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.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Type of block and its age
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- How much joint sand is left

Cleaning in East Sussex: questions
Do you cover Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings?
Yes. We cover all of East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings.
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.
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.
