Block paving cleaning in Leicester: the local picture
Leicester has everything from short terrace frontages to wide drives on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout and the dig.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.

What you get with our cleaning service
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.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
Before we price your block paving cleaning job
- How much joint sand is left
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Leicester?
Guide price for Leicester: £2.50–£5 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
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.
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.
