Block paving cleaning in Morpeth: what to expect
Morpeth is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
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.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Morpeth?
For Morpeth, our guide is £2.50–£4.50 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £115–£225. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

What you get with our cleaning service
Block paving cleaning removes moss, algae, weeds and ground-in dirt from the surface and the joints, usually with a rotary surface cleaner on a pressure washer, which cleans evenly without the stripes a hand lance leaves. A biocide treatment can be applied to slow regrowth.
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints

Cleaning in Morpeth: questions
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 Morpeth be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Bedlington, Ashington and Cramlington?
Yes. We cover Morpeth and the places around it, including Bedlington, Ashington and Cramlington, and the rest of Northumberland.
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.
