Block paving cleaning in Cupar: the local picture
In and around Cupar, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Cupar?
In Scotland, a block paving cleaning job usually costs £2.50–£5 per m² including VAT. For a 50 m² drive, that is roughly £125–£250. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

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
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints

Cleaning in Cupar: questions
How often should block paving in Cupar be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover St Andrews, Methil and Glenrothes?
Yes. We cover Cupar and the places around it, including St Andrews, Methil and Glenrothes, and the rest of Fife.
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.
