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.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls

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