Block paving cleaning in Hyde: the local picture
In Hyde, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Hyde?
For Hyde, our guide is £2.50–£5 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £125–£250. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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

Cleaning in Hyde: 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.
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.
