Planning a block paving cleaning job in Stratford
Stratford is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Front gardens in much of London are short, so parking depth and the dropped kerb usually decide whether a drive is possible.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Stratford?
In London, a block paving cleaning job usually costs £3–£6 per m² including VAT. For a 50 m² drive, that is roughly £150–£300. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

What is included?
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.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints

Cleaning in Stratford: 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.
Do you cover Canning Town, Canary Wharf and Leytonstone?
Yes. We cover Stratford and the places around it, including Canning Town, Canary Wharf and Leytonstone, and the rest of Greater London.
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.
