That typically means a biocide pre-treatment to deal with weeds, algae and moss at the root, a rotary surface cleaner or controlled pressure wash to lift ingrained dirt without damaging the surface, kiln-dried sand re-compacted into block paving joints, and a sealer - matt or wet-look - to finish. It's a proper multi-stage job, not a single-pass rinse.
Whichever point in the year you're looking at it, the fix is the same - a proper clean matched to the surface, a biocide treatment so what comes back is slower and thinner, and a seal if you want to stop the cycle rather than just reset it for another year. We work driveways year-round, though a sealed surface applied before the wetter months tends to hold up noticeably better through winter.
A driveway clean is one of the better-value jobs we do, typically working out at a few pounds per square metre depending on surface type, condition and access, and it makes a bigger visible difference to a property's frontage than almost anything else at that price point. Sealing adds to the job but roughly doubles how long the result lasts, so it's worth weighing up against the cost of getting it done again next year instead.

Driveway Cleaning Near Cleadon
As well as Cleadon itself, we regularly clean and seal driveways in Boldon, Whitburn and Fulwell, along with the wider surrounding area. If you're just outside Cleadon, get in touch anyway - our coverage runs well beyond the immediate area.
Commercial Yards, Forecourts and Mixed-Use Sites
Commercial driveways, forecourts and yards see a different kind of wear - regular vehicle traffic, oil and diesel drips, occasionally spilled materials - on top of the same weed, algae and moss growth affecting every other surface in the area. Oil staining tends to be the biggest complaint, and it's rarely solved by the same general clean used on a domestic drive.
We treat oil stains with dedicated degreasing products and, on older ingrained staining, a longer dwell time or repeat application rather than promising complete removal in one pass on every stain. Spill management training means any product use around drains and shared surface water is handled properly, which matters more on commercial sites than most domestic ones.

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.
Oil Stain Treatment and General Clean
- 1
Identify the stain type and age
Fresh and old, ingrained oil stains need different products and dwell times, so we assess each patch first.
- 2
Apply a degreasing treatment
A dedicated degreaser is applied directly to oil-affected areas and left to break down the staining.
- 3
Agitate and lift
The treated area is worked and rinsed to lift as much of the stain as the surface and age of the mark allow.
- 4
Whole-surface clean
The rest of the driveway is cleaned at the same time so the treated patch doesn't stand out against dirty surroundings.
- 5
Seal if required
A sealant can be applied afterwards to make any future oil marks easier to lift before they set in.
Safe, Controlled Work From Start to Finish
We're fully insured and biocide trained (2024), which matters on a job that involves chemical treatment near planting, drainage and sometimes shared boundaries with neighbours. Product choice, dilution and application are handled properly, run-off is managed rather than left to find its own way into drains, and anything with a manhole or gully nearby gets protected before we start.
Older driveways occasionally throw up something unexpected - old tarmac with bound material we won't disturb without the right precautions, or edging that turns out less stable than it looks - and our asbestos awareness training means we know what to flag and leave alone rather than push on regardless. Careful, not rushed, is the standard we work to.
Commercial Forecourt and Yard Pricing
Commercial yards, forecourts and shared estate surfaces are quoted individually rather than off a standard domestic rate, since access, traffic management, surface area and oil staining vary hugely site to site. We're happy to visit and provide a written quote, and can discuss a scheduled maintenance arrangement if that suits the site better than one-off cleans.
Get in touch with details of the site and we'll arrange a visit or call to talk through what's needed.
| Small commercial forecourt | from around £200, site-priced |
|---|---|
| Yard or car park (larger area) | priced per site visit |
| Oil staining treatment (commercial) | typically £40-£90 per patch |
| Scheduled maintenance clean | discounted rate, agreed on contract |
