Block paving cleaning in Swansea: the local picture
Swansea has a big mix of housing, from older terraces near the centre to newer estates further out, so no two drives here start from the same ground.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

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.
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
How we find the cause
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Type of block and its age
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- How much joint sand is left

Cleaning in Swansea: questions
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 Swansea be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
