Block paving cleaning in Prescot: what to expect
In Prescot, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

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)
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- How much joint sand is left
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Type of block and its age
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first

Cleaning in Prescot: questions
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Prescot?
Guide price for Prescot: £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.
Do you cover Huyton, St Helens and Halewood?
Yes. We cover Prescot and the places around it, including Huyton, St Helens and Halewood, and the rest of Merseyside.
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.
