Planning a block paving cleaning job in Rickmansworth
Rickmansworth is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Rickmansworth?
For Rickmansworth, our guide is £2.50–£5.50 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £130–£265. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

What is included?
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.
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
How we find the cause
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
