That typically means a biocide pre-treatment to deal with weeds, algae and moss at the root, a rotary surface cleaner or controlled pressure wash to lift ingrained dirt without damaging the surface, kiln-dried sand re-compacted into block paving joints, and a sealer - matt or wet-look - to finish. It's a proper multi-stage job, not a single-pass rinse.
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.
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.

Clean, Re-Sand and Seal Pricing
Adding re-sanding and sealing roughly doubles the cost of a clean-only job but also roughly doubles how long the result holds up, so for most driveways it works out better value over a few years than cleaning alone every twelve months. Sealant type - matt or wet-look - doesn't usually change the price much, it's mainly a finish choice.
We price re-sanding and sealing together with the clean as one job, based on the surface area and condition on the day.
| Clean, re-sand and matt seal (small) | typically £180-£320 |
|---|---|
| Clean, re-sand and matt seal (medium-large) | typically £320-£550 |
| Wet-look sealant upgrade | typically similar to matt, priced on the day |
| Sealant only (surface already clean) | from around £150, area dependent |
Biocide Treatment for Weeds, Algae and Moss
- We use a professional-grade biocide to treat weeds, algae and moss at the root rather than just rinsing the surface growth away. Applied correctly and given time to work, it slows down regrowth considerably compared with cleaning alone, and it's the single biggest factor in how long a driveway clean actually lasts.
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.

Beyond Shiney Row itself, we regularly take on driveway work in Ryhope, Sunderland, Sacriston and Low Fell and the towns and villages around them. If your property sits between two of our regular areas, that's not a problem - we cover the ground in between as a matter of course.
