Block paving cleaning in Sudbury: what to expect
Sudbury 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.
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
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
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
