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.

Older properties around Shiney Row tend to have block paving or poured concrete drives laid at some point in the last few decades, often with joints that have never been re-sanded and a build-up of algae that's had years to establish. Newer estates lean toward resin-bound or tighter-jointed block paving that shows dirt and staining differently but responds well to the same core treatment.

Whatever's outside your front door, the approach starts with identifying the actual surface and its condition before any water or chemical goes near it - that's what decides whether it's a straightforward clean and seal or something that needs re-sanding, crack treatment or oil stain work first. We'll tell you which on the visit, not guess from a photo.

Modern Estates and Newer Block Paving

Newer builds around Shiney Row 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.

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.

What We Do - and What We Deliberately Avoid

We do treat weeds and moss with biocide before cleaning rather than just rinsing them off the surface, because a rinse alone leaves the roots intact and everything's back within weeks. We do match pressure and method to the actual surface, re-sand block paving joints properly rather than leaving them half full, and let concrete and resin dry fully before any sealant goes anywhere near them.

We don't run maximum pressure on every surface regardless of condition - imprinted concrete and resin-bound drives can be etched or pitted by careless use of a turbo nozzle, and it's not something that can be undone afterwards. We also don't seal a surface that's still damp or hasn't been given time to cure after cleaning, because it traps moisture underneath and the sealant fails early.
