Block paving cleaning in Coventry: what to expect
Coventry 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.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.

Cleaning in Coventry: questions
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Coventry?
Guide price for Coventry: £2.50–£5 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
How often should block paving in Coventry 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.
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.
