Planning a block paving cleaning job in Neath
Homes in Neath include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Neath?
For Neath, our guide is £2.50–£4.50 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £115–£235. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

What is included?
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.
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Type of block and its age
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- How much joint sand is left

Cleaning in Neath: questions
Do you cover Briton Ferry, Clydach and Swansea?
Yes. We cover Neath and the places around it, including Briton Ferry, Clydach and Swansea, and the rest of West Glamorgan.
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 Neath be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
