Block paving cleaning in Swindon: what to expect
Swindon 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.
The South West is wetter than the east of England, so falls and drainage are planned before the pattern is chosen.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Swindon?
Expect block paving cleaning jobs in Swindon to come in at around £2.50–£5 per m², including VAT at 20%. As an example, a 50 m² drive usually comes to between £125 and £250.

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.
- Rinse down of edges, steps and walls
- Pre-treatment where needed
- Optional biocide and sealer
- Rotary surface clean at a pressure that will not blow out the joints
- Weeds and moss removed from the joints
How we find the cause
- How much joint sand is left
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio

Cleaning in Swindon: questions
How often should block paving in Swindon be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Chippenham, Melksham and Trowbridge?
Yes. We cover Swindon and the places around it, including Chippenham, Melksham and Trowbridge, and the rest of Wiltshire.
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.
