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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Pre-treatment where needed

Cleaning in Moray: questions
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Moray?
Guide price for Moray: £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 Elgin, Forres and Buckie?
Yes. We cover all of Moray, including Elgin, Forres and Buckie.
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.
