Driveway Cleaning, Re-Sanding & Sealing in Birtley
Driveway cleaning and sealing across Birtley and the North East. Weed, moss and oil stain treatment, matt or wet-look sealants. Free quotes.
A lot of people assume a driveway clean is just a jet wash, and that any improvement it makes is temporary because "it always comes back". It does come back if that's all that's done - a pressure wash alone strips the surface film off but leaves algae spores and weed roots very much alive in the joints, ready to regrow within a season, often faster than before because the surface has been roughed up.
Whatever's outside your front door, the approach starts with identifying the actual surface and its condition before any water or chemical goes near it - that's what decides whether it's a straightforward clean and seal or something that needs re-sanding, crack treatment or oil stain work first. We'll tell you which on the visit, not guess from a photo.
We clean, treat and seal driveways across Birtley - block paving, concrete, imprinted concrete, resin and tarmac - using biocide treatment for weeds and moss, pressure or rotary cleaning matched to the surface, kiln-dried sand re-sanding for block paving joints, and matt or wet-look sealants to finish. Oil stains and tarmac wear get treated as part of the job where needed, not quoted as an extra surprise later.
Parking and Working Around Vehicles
Most driveway jobs need the drive itself clear of vehicles while we work, so we'll agree timing that lets you move cars off beforehand rather than turning up and finding the job can't start. On terraced streets with no off-road parking nearby, we'll talk through timing so you're not stuck without anywhere to park during the job.
Tarmac Restoration and Oil Stain Treatment
Tarmac restoration pricing depends heavily on the condition of the surface - a clean and reseal on a sound drive is a fairly standard job, while cracking and edge repair add time and materials. Oil stain treatment is usually priced per affected area rather than the whole driveway, since it's a targeted treatment rather than a full-surface job.
Ingrained, older oil staining sometimes needs a repeat visit to fully lift - we'll be upfront if that's likely rather than promising a result we can't guarantee in one pass.
| Tarmac clean and seal | typically £4-£7/m², area dependent |
|---|---|
| Crack and edge repair | from around £80, extent dependent |
| Oil stain treatment (per patch) | typically £30-£70 per patch |
| Whole-drive oil treatment plus clean | priced on site after assessment |

For Homeowners: Kerb Appeal That Actually Lasts
Your driveway is one of the first things anyone sees of your home, whether that's a visitor, a delivery driver or a potential buyer, and a clean, sealed surface changes the whole look of a frontage more than almost any other job at a similar price. We treat, clean, re-sand and seal so the result holds rather than fading back within weeks.
Wet-Look Sealants
- A wet-look sealant gives a richer, glossier finish that deepens colour noticeably and makes a driveway look freshly laid, which suits block paving and imprinted concrete especially well. It offers the same protective benefit as a matt sealant but with a more dramatic visual lift, and it's a popular choice ahead of selling a property.
