Block paving cleaning in Sutton Coldfield: what to expect
Sutton Coldfield 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.
Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.

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.
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
How we find the cause
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- How much joint sand is left
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first

Cleaning in Sutton Coldfield: 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.
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.
How often should block paving in Sutton Coldfield be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
