Planning a block paving cleaning job in Crawley
Crawley 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.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.

What you get with our cleaning service
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.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints

- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- How much joint sand is left

Cleaning in Crawley: questions
How often should block paving in Crawley be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Horsham, East Grinstead and Haywards Heath?
Yes. We cover Crawley and the places around it, including Horsham, East Grinstead and Haywards Heath, and the rest of West Sussex.
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.
