Block, slab, sandstone, porcelain — all handled Kiln-dried joint sand included Optional sealing service Fully insured — £5m cover Most drives done in one day Service Overview ## Understanding driveway & patio cleaning ## What it is Complete cleaning and restoration of block paving driveways, slab patios, Indian sandstone, porcelain, natural stone and concrete surfaces — including joint cleaning, weed-root removal and kiln-dried sand re-application. ## Who it's for Homeowners whose drives look tired or weed-infested; anyone preparing a property for sale; landlords improving exterior kerb appeal; homeowners considering replacement before realising restoration costs 90% less. ## When you need it Spring through early autumn for best drying and re-sanding conditions. Hot-water cleaning available year-round. Always done before any sealing. ## Why professional help matters Full driveway replacement is a major expense — restoration delivers a long-lasting visual result for a fraction of the price. Get a free quote tailored to your driveway. If left untreated ## The cost of doing nothing. - Algae-coated patios cause more domestic slip injuries than wet floors indoors. - Weed root left in joints lifts blocks within 2–3 seasons. - Oil and tyre staining permanently embeds after 18 months untreated. - Sunken or moss-bound blocks become a trip hazard and an insurance liability. - A poor-looking drive removes the first 10 seconds of buyer good-will at viewings. Common mistakes ## What we see go wrong. - Replacing instead of restoring — ten times the cost for the same visual outcome. - Cleaning without re-sanding — blocks loosen and weeds return faster. - DIY pressure-washing sandstone at full power — leaves it pitted and porous. - Sealing dirty paving — locks the contamination in permanently. Our Process ## A predictable system, from first call to clean-up - 01 ### Inspection We identify paving type, joint condition, slope, drainage and any sunken blocks needing re-laying. - 02 ### Pre-Treat Biocide on biological contamination; degreaser on oil. 10–15 min dwell. - 03 ### Rotary Clean Industrial surface cleaner walked methodically — even finish, no stripes. - 04 ### Joint Detail Hand-wand into every joint to remove embedded moss, weed root and old failed sand. - 05 ### Re-Sand & Finish Kiln-dried sand swept and vibrated into block paving joints. Optional sealant booked for 48 hours later. The Benefits ## What you actually get for the money. - ### Restores 'just-laid' look Most customers can't tell their drive isn't new. - ### 90% cheaper than relaying Restoration costs a fraction of replacement. - ### Slip risk dramatically reduced Biofilm removal makes the surface safe in rain again. - ### Re-sanded joints stay stable Blocks lock together; weeds take far longer to return. - ### Sealing option doubles lifespan Joint stabiliser sealant turns a 3-year clean into a 6-year one. - ### Tidy site — no slurry mess Surface cleaner captures runoff; we vacuum the waste up. Deep Detail ## The technical bit — for the people who like to know ### Block paving (Marshalls, Brett, Tobermore) Rotary cleaned then re-sanded with kiln-dried sand to lock blocks. Sealant optional but recommended for high-traffic areas. ### Indian sandstone & natural stone Lower-pressure setting prevents pitting. Specialist sandstone cleaner used to lift the orange algae bloom typical of UK sandstone patios. Re-pointing of cement joints quoted separately if needed. ### Porcelain paving Modern porcelain handles full-pressure rotary cleaning. Joints (typically narrow grout) detail-wanded carefully to avoid damage. ### Concrete & imprinted concrete Imprinted (pattern-imprinted) concrete needs re-sealing after deep clean to restore colour. Plain concrete handles aggressive cleaning easily. ### Tarmac drives Cleaned at reduced pressure with surface cleaner only — never with a turbo nozzle which strips binder. Most tarmac drives benefit from rejuvenation sealing post-clean. ### Residential vs commercial Domestic drives and patios our core. Commercial forecourts, car parks and pedestrian areas done on quotation with out-of-hours options. FAQ ## Straight answers to common questions How much does driveway cleaning cost?
