Block paving cleaning in Daventry: the local picture
In Daventry, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Block drives laid twenty or thirty years ago are often ready for re-laying rather than replacing, because sound blocks outlast a weak base.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Daventry?
For Daventry, our guide is £2.50–£5 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £125–£250. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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)
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
How we find the cause
- Type of block and its age
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
