These are our own jobs, photographed on the day. Pick the one that looks like yours.
Same job in both photos. Ours, not a stock library.
We clear the weeds, wash the blocks back to their colour and can brush fresh sand into the joints. Expect the reds and brindles to come back. Most people have forgotten what colour the drive was.
Quote for my block paving
We wash it back to the stone without lifting the pointing. Expect the buffs, greys and rusts in the stone to show again.
Quote for my Indian stone
We lift the film and clean out the joints between the slabs. Expect it to look close to the day it was laid.
Quote for my porcelain
We take the weeds out and wash the flags back to an even colour. Expect a patio you can put furniture back on.
Quote for my patio
We clean it a section at a time so the rest of the site stays open. Expect a car park that looks looked after. Visitors notice it before they reach the door.
Quote for my siteWhat we clean
Drives and patios are most of our week. The rest we do properly too.
- 03Re-sanding and re-sealingFresh sand locks the blocks back together. Sealer helps keep the weeds and the green away for longer.

- 05GuttersCleared out so the rain goes down the pipe and not down the wall.
- 06Graffiti removalTaken off walls and hard surfaces for homes and businesses.
A proper job, start to finish
Anyone can blast a drive. The difference is what happens to the joints afterwards.

Then, if you want it
Fresh sand in the joints
Washing takes the old sand out with the dirt. On block paving we can brush new sand into every joint so the blocks stay locked.
Then, if you want it
Sealed, if you want it
A sealer over the top helps the colour last and slows the weeds coming back. It's your choice, and we price it separately.
Nothing stops weeds for ever. Sand and sealer buy you a lot more time.
For businesses
Car parks and commercial sites
We clean block-paved car parks, paths and outdoor areas for businesses across South Yorkshire, a section at a time, so staff and visitors can still get in and out.

Questions people ask first
Will pressure washing damage my block paving?
Done carelessly, it can. Washing lifts the old sand out of the joints along with the dirt, and blocks with empty joints can start to move. That's why we offer re-sanding as part of the job and don't treat it as an extra you have to ask about.
Will the weeds come back?
In time, yes. Nothing stops them for ever. Fresh sand in the joints and a sealer over the top slow them down a lot, and a clean surface is far easier to keep on top of.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the size, what the surface is made of, how far gone it is and whether you want sand and sealer. Quotes are free. A photo and a rough size is usually enough to get started.
What surfaces do you clean?
Block paving, Indian stone, porcelain, concrete flags, imprinted concrete and decking, plus outside walls, gutters and graffiti.
What kind of sites do you work on?
Block-paved car parks, paths and outdoor areas. So far that has included office and industrial car parks, a holiday lodge park and a venue garden.
Can the site stay open while you work?
Yes. We clean a section at a time and cone off only the part we're working on, so the rest stays in use. We agree the order with you before we start.
