Driveway Cleaning for Every Surface

Whether you're looking after your home, preparing to sell or simply want your driveway looking its best again, professional cleaning can make a significant difference.

Driveway cleaning is a multi-step process, requiring different methods depending on the surface. Block paving, concrete, tarmac and resin all require a slightly different approach, so every driveway is assessed before work begins and we recommend the most appropriate cleaning method.

Where appropriate, we'll also discuss optional treatments that may help maintain the appearance of the driveway for longer.

  • Removal of surface dirt
  • Removal of moss and algae
  • Deep cleaning of the driveway surface
  • Cleaning of joints where appropriate
  • Thorough rinsing of the area
  • Removal of debris on completion

Every Driveway Is Unique

Some stains, weathering or previous damage may be permanent and cannot always be completely removed. We'll always explain what you can realistically expect before work begins.

If we don't believe a particular cleaning method is suitable for your driveway, we'll tell you.

Our 4-Step Driveway Clean

how it works
1

Surface Check

We identify your surface and any staining, then pick the right pressure, tools and treatments for it.

2

Weed & Pre-Treat

Weeds and moss treated prior to cleaning. Oil and stubborn stains get targeted treatment.

3

Deep Clean

Rotary surface cleaner restores the whole area evenly, with edges and channels detailed by hand.

4

Re-Sand & Finish

Block paving is re-jointed with self-settling sand once dry. This step bonds the paving and gives the best finish.

Driveway Cleaning Questions, Answered

How much does driveway cleaning cost in Dorset?

Every driveway is quoted individually from its surface, size and condition. Quotations are free and without obligation, and providing photos with your enquiry may allow us to prepare an estimated price without an initial property visit.

Do you re-sand block paving after cleaning?

Where it's required, yes. Kiln-dried sand brushed into dry joints keeps blocks stable and prevents weeds from establishing themselves again quickly.

Can you remove oil stains?

In many cases we can improve them dramatically, but it often depends on how long the oil has been down and the surface. We treat oil staining chemically before the main clean and we'll set expectations accordingly.

Will the weeds come back?

Slower than before, but nature doesn't give up. Removing them at the root, treating the joints and re-sanding typically keeps a drive clear for a prolonged period. An annual maintenance clean keeps it looking it's best.

How long does it take and can I use the drive after?

Most driveways can be cleaned within one day, but pre-treatment and re-sanding may require another visit. You can walk on it as soon as we're done, but leave at least 24 hours before parking so freshly sanded joints can settle.

Do you clean paths and patios at the same time?

Yes, we can do. Customers often see the biggest transformation when we leave the property with all surfaces looking their best.
