Why do weeds keep coming back through my driveway joints?

If weeds have only ever been pulled or rinsed off, the roots are still there and regrowth is quick. A proper biocide treatment kills weeds at the root rather than just the visible growth, and re-sanding the joints afterwards makes it harder for new seeds to establish.

How much does it cost to have a driveway cleaned?

Prices typically work out at a few pounds per square metre depending on surface, condition and access, with most domestic driveways falling somewhere between around £80 and £280 for a clean-only job. Adding re-sanding and sealing increases this. We give a firm price after seeing the actual driveway.

What does tarmac restoration actually involve?

It typically means a thorough clean, treatment of any weed or moss growth in cracks and edges, minor crack or edge repair where needed, and a sealant applied to restore a deep black finish and add a protective layer against further wear.

Can you clean the driveway and patio in the same visit?

Yes, and it's often better value done together since it saves a separate call-out. Let us know when you enquire and we'll quote both as one job.

Driveway cleaning isn't just pointing a pressure washer at the surface and working left to right - block paving, poured concrete, imprinted concrete, resin and tarmac each respond differently to pressure, heat and chemicals, and using the wrong combination can strip sand from joints, etch a resin surface or leave tramlines in tarmac that never quite disappear. We match the method to the material every time.

We clean, treat and seal driveways across Hexham - 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.

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.

Driveway Cleaning & Sealing in Hexham — common questions

A driveway represents a real cost when it goes in, and regular treatment, cleaning and sealing is a fraction of that cost while genuinely extending how long it lasts. It's one of the better-value jobs a property owner can have done.

Based in Washington and covering a 45-mile radius across the North East, we bring proper training - biocide, asbestos awareness and spill management - to every driveway job in Hexham, whatever the surface or condition.

Algae, moss, weeds and oil staining don't fix themselves, and a quick rinse only holds them off for a few weeks. Proper biocide treatment, cleaning matched to the surface, re-sanding and sealing is what actually keeps a driveway looking right.
