Planning a block paving cleaning job in Spalding
In Spalding, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
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 does a block paving cleaning job involve?
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)
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Pre-treatment where needed
How we find the cause
- Type of block and its age
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- How much joint sand is left
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth

Cleaning in Spalding: questions
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.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Spalding?
Guide price for Spalding: £2.50–£5 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
How often should block paving in Spalding be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
