Block paving cleaning in Ebbw Vale: what to expect
Homes in Ebbw Vale include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

What you get with our cleaning service
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.
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
Before we price your block paving cleaning job
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Type of block and its age
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth

Cleaning in Ebbw Vale: questions
Do you cover Tredegar, Brynmawr and Abertillery?
Yes. We cover Ebbw Vale and the places around it, including Tredegar, Brynmawr and Abertillery, and the rest of Gwent.
How often should block paving in Ebbw Vale be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
