2Cleaning Process
How long does driveway cleaning take?
Most residential driveways take 2-4 hours to clean thoroughly. Larger driveways or those with heavy staining may take 4-6 hours. We complete most jobs in a single visit.
What pressure washing equipment do you use?
We use professional-grade pressure washers with adjustable PSI settings (up to 4000 PSI), surface cleaners for even coverage, and specialist nozzles for different surfaces. Our equipment is commercial-grade for superior results.
Will pressure washing damage my driveway?
No, when done correctly. We adjust pressure settings for each surface type. Block paving requires different treatment than concrete or tarmac. Our experienced technicians know exactly how to clean without causing damage.
Do you use chemicals on driveways?
We use eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions when needed for oil stains, moss, or algae. All our products are safe for pets, plants, and the environment.
3Driveway Types
What types of driveways can you clean?
We clean all driveway types including: block paving, concrete, tarmac/asphalt, resin bound, gravel, natural stone, and pattern imprinted concrete (PIC). Each material requires specific techniques.
Can you clean block paving without removing the sand?
Some sand loss is inevitable with any block paving cleaning. We always re-sand block paving after cleaning with kiln-dried sand as part of our standard service at no extra cost.
Do you clean resin driveways?
Yes, we specialize in resin bound and resin bonded driveway cleaning. We use lower pressure and appropriate techniques to clean without damaging the resin surface.
Can you clean a gravel driveway?
Yes, but with different methods. We don't pressure wash gravel driveways directly. Instead, we treat weeds and moss, remove debris, and can top up gravel if needed.
4Stain Removal
Can you remove oil stains from my driveway?
Yes! We use specialist degreasers and hot water pressure washing to remove oil and fuel stains. Fresh stains come out completely; older stains are significantly reduced or removed entirely.
What about rust stains on concrete?
Rust stains require specialist treatment. We use oxalic acid-based cleaners specifically designed for rust removal on concrete and paving without damaging the surface.
Can you remove paint from a driveway?
Yes, in most cases. Water-based paints are easier to remove than oil-based. We assess each situation and use appropriate paint strippers combined with pressure washing.
How do you remove moss and algae?
We apply a biocide treatment to kill moss and algae, then pressure wash to remove it. The biocide continues working after we leave, preventing regrowth for 6-12 months.
5Aftercare & Maintenance
How often should I clean my driveway?
We recommend professional driveway cleaning every 12-18 months for most properties. Driveways under trees or in shaded areas may need cleaning annually due to faster moss/algae growth.
Do you offer driveway sealing?
Yes! We offer professional sealing for block paving and concrete driveways. Sealing protects against stains, inhibits weed growth, enhances color, and makes future cleaning easier. Prices start from £80.
Should I seal my driveway after cleaning?
Sealing is optional but recommended for block paving. It prevents sand loss, inhibits weeds, protects against oil stains, and keeps your driveway looking cleaner for longer.
How can I maintain my driveway between professional cleans?
Regular sweeping, prompt stain treatment, and occasional weed removal help maintain your driveway. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage surfaces or harm plants.
6Booking & Service
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to your driveway and a water supply, we can complete the work. We'll send before/after photos and notify you when finished.
How far in advance do I need to book?
We often have availability within 1-3 days. For specific dates or busy periods (spring/summer), booking 1-2 weeks ahead is recommended. Same-day service is available for emergencies.
What areas do you cover?
We cover all London boroughs plus a 60-mile radius including Surrey, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, and Berkshire. Contact us to confirm coverage in your area.
Are you insured?
Yes, we carry £5 million public liability insurance. All our work is fully insured, giving you complete peace of mind.
