Block paving cleaning in Cwmbran: the local picture
Cwmbran is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
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 Cwmbran?
In Wales, a block paving cleaning job usually costs £2.50–£4.50 per m² including VAT. For a 50 m² drive, that is roughly £115–£235. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

What does a block paving cleaning job involve?
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
