What does a block paving cleaning job involve?
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.
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Optional biocide and sealer

Cleaning in Tipton: 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 much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Tipton?
Guide price for Tipton: £2.50–£5 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
Do you cover Dudley, Wednesbury and West Bromwich?
Yes. We cover Tipton and the places around it, including Dudley, Wednesbury and West Bromwich, and the rest of the West Midlands.
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.
