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.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- 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
How we find the cause
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- How much joint sand is left
- Type of block and its age
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first

Cleaning in Northamptonshire: questions
Do you cover Northampton, Corby and Kettering?
Yes. We cover all of Northamptonshire, including Northampton, Corby and Kettering.
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.
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.
