What actually slows regrowth is the biocide treatment before and sometimes after the wash, plus a sealant once the surface is clean and dry, which gives algae and moss less to grip onto and makes the next clean, if you ever need one, considerably easier. A driveway done properly - treated, cleaned, re-sanded and sealed - genuinely does last years, not months.

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.

Picture the driveway as it was on the day it went in - block paving with crisp, sand-filled joints and even colour, or tarmac with a deep, uniform black rather than the faded grey it's settled into. That's the realistic target for a proper clean and seal, not a marginal improvement but something close to a full reset, done without stripping away the surface itself the way an aggressive pressure wash can.

An Annual Refresh Rather Than a Big Job

Many of our residential customers have us back on a rough yearly cycle rather than waiting until the drive looks properly bad - a lighter maintenance clean each year is quicker, cheaper and less disruptive than letting years of growth build up and needing a full restoration.

Modern Estates and Newer Block Paving

Newer builds around Kibblesworth are almost always finished in block paving, often laid with tighter joints and permeable jointing sand as part of the drainage design, or increasingly resin-bound surfaces. These look sharp when new but the joints and porous resin surface both hold onto dirt and organic growth quickly if they're never treated, and a standard hose or bucket wash barely touches ingrained grime.

Because these drives are usually still structurally sound and recently laid, the job here is almost always a straightforward clean, biocide treatment and reseal rather than repair work - it's about protecting an investment that's only a few years old rather than restoring something tired. Getting a seal on early tends to keep it looking new for noticeably longer.

Tarmac Restoration and Oil Stain Treatment

We'll always give you a firm price after seeing the actual surface and area rather than a phone estimate, and there's no obligation to go ahead.

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. 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. 2

    Apply a degreasing treatment

    A dedicated degreaser is applied directly to oil-affected areas and left to break down the staining.

  3. 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. 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. 5

    Seal if required

    A sealant can be applied afterwards to make any future oil marks easier to lift before they set in.
