Block Paving, Concrete & Tarmac Driveway Cleaning in Ryton

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.

Green algae in the shaded corners, black weed stubble pushing through the joints, a grey bloom creeping across what used to be buff block paving - a driveway rarely fails all at once, it just quietly loses its edge until one day it looks tired next to the front door. Left alone, that surface film keeps feeding on rainwater and gets more slippery every month, which is the real reason it needs sorting rather than just the way it looks.

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.
