Block paving cleaning in Dewsbury: the local picture
In Dewsbury, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Sloping drives are common in parts of Yorkshire, which affects falls, steps and drainage at the bottom of the drive.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Dewsbury?
For Dewsbury, our guide is £2.50–£4.50 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £115–£225. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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.
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
- Kiln-dried sand brushed in once dry (re-sanding package)
- Pre-treatment where needed
How we find the cause
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Type of block and its age
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
