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.
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Pre-treatment where needed
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Type of block and its age
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- How much joint sand is left

Cleaning in Sutton: questions
How often should block paving in Sutton be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Carshalton, Morden and Purley?
Yes. We cover Sutton and the places around it, including Carshalton, Morden and Purley, 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.
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.
