Block paving cleaning in Shrewsbury: what to expect
Shrewsbury has everything from short terrace frontages to wide drives on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout and the dig.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Shrewsbury?
For Shrewsbury, 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 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.
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints

- Type of block and its age
