Why it matters

Green and slippery paving

Drives and patios slowly collect moss, black algae and dirt, especially in shady spots and along the joints. It looks tired, and wet algae can be slippery underfoot.

We use a pressure washer with a surface cleaner on the flat areas, which keeps the spray contained and gives an even finish without stripes, then wash the edges, steps and joints by lance.

Afterwards we rinse everything down so the muck goes to the drain, not onto your walls, doors or car.

How driveway and patio cleaning works

The same four steps every visit.

We look first

We walk the area with you and point out anything delicate, like loose slabs or old pointing.

Moss and weeds lifted

The worst of the moss and weeds come out of the joints before we wash.

Pressure washed

Flat areas are cleaned with a rotary surface cleaner for an even finish, edges by lance.

Rinsed and tidied

We rinse down walls, steps and doors and leave the area tidy.

Good to know

Re-sanding

Block paving loses some sand from the joints when it’s washed. We can re-sand it afterwards so it stays firm.

Best time

Spring to early autumn, when it dries quickly. We can still do it in winter if it’s dry.

Sealing

A sealant can help it stay cleaner for longer. Ask us and we’ll tell you honestly if it’s worth it for your paving.

Common questions

Will pressure washing damage my block paving?

Not when it’s done properly. We use the right pressure and a surface cleaner, and keep away from loose or crumbling joints. Some sand comes out, so we can re-sand afterwards.

How long does it stay clean?

Usually a good year or two, depending on shade and trees. Sealing can stretch that out.

Do I need to be in?

No, as long as we can get to the area and use an outside tap.

Will it make a mess?

There is some spray and muck while we work. We rinse down walls, doors and windows nearby when we finish.

Can you do it with my window clean?

Yes. Choose driveway or patio when you ask for a quote and tell us about your windows too.
