Planning a block paving cleaning job in Redcar
In Redcar, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Former colliery ground and clay soils occur across the North East, so the survey checks for soft spots before the sub-base depth is set.

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)
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer
What we look at first in Redcar
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Type of block and its age

- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Walls, doors and planting to protect

Cleaning in Redcar: 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 often should block paving in Redcar be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Redcar?
Guide price for Redcar: £2.50–£4.50 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.
