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.
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.

The Full Clean, Re-Sand and Seal Process
- 1
Survey the surface
We identify the material - block paving, concrete, resin or tarmac - and check joints, cracks and staining before starting.
- 2
Biocide treatment
A professional biocide is applied to kill weeds, algae and moss at the root, left to work before any cleaning begins.
- 3
Pressure or rotary clean
The surface is cleaned with pressure or rotary equipment matched to the material, lifting dirt without damaging it.
- 4
Re-sand the joints
Kiln-dried sand is worked into block paving joints and compacted, restoring stability and a finished look.
- 5
Allow to dry fully
The surface is left to dry through properly - rushing this stage is the most common cause of sealant failure.
- 6
Apply the sealant
A matt or wet-look sealant is applied evenly to protect the surface and slow down regrowth and staining.

Protecting a Driveway You've Already Paid For
A block paved or resin driveway is a real investment, often several thousand pounds when it went in, and neglecting it means paying for a full replacement years earlier than necessary. Regular cleaning and sealing is a fraction of that cost and is genuinely the thing that extends how long the original surface lasts.
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.
