Block paving cleaning in Mansfield: the local picture
Across Mansfield, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.

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.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints

Cleaning in Mansfield: questions
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Mansfield?
Guide price for Mansfield: £2.50–£5 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
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.
Do you cover Sutton-in-Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Hucknall?
Yes. We cover Mansfield and the places around it, including Sutton-in-Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Hucknall, and the rest of Nottinghamshire.
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.
