Transform your driveway from tired to pristine

Your driveway faces constant wear - tyre marks, oil, moss, algae and weathering. We clean all driveway surfaces using the correct pressure, detergents and methods for each material. Block paving may need re-sanding, resin bound requires controlled washing, and tarmac is restored with a dedicated restorer. Whatever the surface, we use the safest and most effective approach.

Driveway types we clean:

  1. Block paving

    Deep pressure washing, weed and moss removal, joint re-sanding with kiln-dried sand and optional sealing for added protection.

  2. Tarmac driveways

    Cleaning to remove moss, algae and staining, usually followed by application of a tarmac restorer to bind the surface, fill minor defects and refresh the colour.

  3. Resin bound & resin bonded

    Carefully controlled low-pressure cleaning with suitable treatments to remove algae and dirt without disturbing the resin surface.

  4. Imprinted concrete (pattern imprinted)

    Thorough pressure washing to remove dirt and tyre marks, with optional re-sealing to enhance the colour and protect the pattern.

  5. Concrete driveways

    Pressure washing with the right nozzles and degreasers to lift oil stains, tyre marks and surface contamination.

  6. Natural stone driveways

    Cleaning tailored for sandstone, limestone and granite using controlled pressure and appropriate chemistry - with steam only where it genuinely helps.

  7. Porcelain paving

    Carefully controlled pressure washing with suitable detergents to remove grime and marks while protecting the tile surface.

  8. Cobblestone & setts

    Cleaning between joints to clear weeds, moss and dirt whilst preserving the character of the driveway.

  9. Shared driveways & parking areas

    Efficient cleaning for larger or shared access areas with minimal disruption to residents.

Questions & Answers

  • Not when it's done correctly. We adjust pressure, nozzles and detergents to suit each surface. Block paving can handle higher pressure, while resin bound, tarmac and natural stone are cleaned using more controlled methods and the right chemistry.

  • Most domestic driveways take between one and three hours depending on size, surface type and condition. Block paving with re-sanding or heavily stained areas may take longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we quote.

  • In most cases, yes. We use specialist degreasers and the correct cleaning methods to treat oil stains. Most can be removed or significantly reduced, though very old, deeply absorbed stains may not disappear completely. We'll assess your driveway and be honest about what's achievable.

  • Yes. Re-sanding is essential after cleaning block paving to stabilise the blocks and prevent movement. We use kiln-dried jointing sand and ensure it's properly brushed in once the surface has dried.

  • Some surfaces benefit from sealing - especially block paving, imprinted concrete and natural stone - as it enhances colour and adds protection against staining. Tarmac is usually treated with a dedicated tarmac restorer rather than a traditional sealer. Resin bound surfaces typically do not require sealing. We’ll advise what makes most sense for your driveway.

  • Yes. We need full access to clean the driveway properly. If you have multiple vehicles, we can work in sections so you're not without parking for the entire day - just let us know when you book.
