What does a block paving cleaning job involve?
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.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- How much joint sand is left
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining

Cleaning in West Sussex: questions
How often should block paving in West Sussex 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.
Do you cover Crawley, Worthing and Bognor Regis?
Yes. We cover all of West Sussex, including Crawley, Worthing and Bognor Regis.
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.
