Planning a block paving cleaning job in Great Yarmouth
Homes in Great Yarmouth include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.

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)
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints

Cleaning in Great Yarmouth: 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 Great Yarmouth?
Guide price for Great Yarmouth: £2.50–£5.50 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.
How often should block paving in Great Yarmouth be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
