Cleaning in Newport, Gwent: questions
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Newport, Gwent?
Guide price for Newport, Gwent: £2.50–£4.50 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
Do you cover Risca, Cwmbran and Abercarn?
Yes. We cover Newport, Gwent and the places around it, including Risca, Cwmbran and Abercarn, and the rest of Gwent.
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.
