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.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Pre-treatment where needed

Cleaning in Hoddesdon: questions
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Hoddesdon?
Guide price for Hoddesdon: £2.50–£5.50 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
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.
Do you cover Hertford, Cheshunt and Potters Bar?
Yes. We cover Hoddesdon and the places around it, including Hertford, Cheshunt and Potters Bar, and the rest of Hertfordshire.
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.
