Block paving cleaning in Lowestoft: the local picture
In Lowestoft, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Clay soils are common in parts of the East of England, so drainage and sub-base depth get extra attention.

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
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
How we find the cause
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- How much joint sand is left

Cleaning in Lowestoft: questions
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Lowestoft?
Guide price for Lowestoft: £2.50–£5.50 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.
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 Lowestoft be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
