Block paving cleaning in Redditch: what to expect
Redditch 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.
Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.
How much does a block paving cleaning job cost in Redditch?
For Redditch, our guide is £2.50–£5 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £125–£250. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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

Cleaning in Redditch: questions
Do you cover Bromsgrove, Droitwich and Kidderminster?
Yes. We cover Redditch and the places around it, including Bromsgrove, Droitwich and Kidderminster, and the rest of Worcestershire.
How often should block paving in Redditch 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.
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.
