Patio & Driveways

We specialise in transforming patios and driveways from weathered, stained, and slippery surfaces into clean, safe, and inviting outdoor spaces.

Why Keeping Patios & Driveways Clean Matters

Maintaining clean patios and driveways isn’t just about looks — it has practical, safety, and long-term cost benefits:

Enhanced kerb appeal and property value – A well-maintained driveway or patio makes your home look cared for, boosting its visual appeal.

Preventing damage – Dirt, moss, algae, weeds, oil stains, or organic debris can penetrate jointing, degrade surfaces, or cause cracking. Regular cleaning helps avoid costly repairs.

Safety – Slippery moss, algae or mildew can make surfaces hazardous, especially when wet. Cleaning reduces slip risk for family, visitors, or delivery staff.

Longevity – Proper cleaning and after-treatments (such as sealing) protect your hard surfaces from weathering, frost damage, staining or weed ingress, extending their lifespan.

Health & hygiene – Algae/spores can affect air quality and cause mould issues; clean surfaces reduce allergens and unpleasant odours.

Preventing stains and discolouration - regular cleaning stops dirt and grime from embedding into the surface, keeping your patio looking vibrant.

Our Cleaning Process

Here’s what to expect when you choose us to clean your patio or driveway:

Inspection & quote: We visit your site, assess material type (e.g. concrete, block paving, natural stone), level of dirt/staining, and any repairs needed (e.g. loose joints).

Initial debris/removal: Sweeping or brushing away leaves, grime, loose debris, weeds.

Deep cleaning: Using pressure washing or suitable surface cleaners. We control pressure and use the right nozzle/settings to avoid damage.

Stain treatment: Treating oil stains, rust, mould, moss etc with eco-friendly or approved specialist solutions.

Repairs & joint work: Repointing or replacing damaged joints if needed.

Sealing / protection (optional but recommended): Once clean and dry, sealing helps repel water, prevent moss/algae regrowth, reduce staining, preserve appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my patio/driveway cleaned? For many homeowners, once or twice a year is sufficient. Heavily shaded or damp areas may need more frequent attention.

Will pressure washing damage the surface? If done incorrectly, yes. But we use professional equipment and adapt pressure/nozzle to material to avoid damage.

Is sealing necessary? It’s optional, but highly beneficial. Sealing helps protect against staining, prolongs lifetime of paving, and reduces maintenance.

How long does the job take? Depends on size, condition, and materials. We’ll provide a time estimate with your quote.
