Across Stoke-on-Trent, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.

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.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
How we find the cause
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Type of block and its age
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

Cleaning in Stoke-on-Trent: questions
How often should block paving in Stoke-on-Trent be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Newcastle-under-Lyme, Longton and Kidsgrove?
Yes. We cover Stoke-on-Trent and the places around it, including Newcastle-under-Lyme, Longton and Kidsgrove, and the rest of Staffordshire.
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.
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.
