Block paving cleaning in Norwich: what to expect
Norwich has everything from short terrace frontages to wide drives on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout and the dig.
Clay soils are common in parts of the East of England, so drainage and sub-base depth get extra attention.

What is included?
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)
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- 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 Norwich: questions
How often should block paving in Norwich be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
