Block paving cleaning in Heywood: what to expect
Homes in Heywood include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

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

Cleaning in Heywood: questions
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Heywood?
Guide price for Heywood: £2.50–£5 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
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.
Do you cover Middleton, Rochdale and Bury?
Yes. We cover Heywood and the places around it, including Middleton, Rochdale and Bury, and the rest of Greater Manchester.
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.
