Block paving cleaning in Blackwood: what to expect
Blackwood is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Blackwood?
Expect block paving cleaning jobs in Blackwood to come in at around £2.50–£4.50 per m², including VAT at 20%. As an example, a 50 m² drive usually comes to between £115 and £235.

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
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
