Driveway Cleaning, Re-Sanding & Sealing in Stockton-on-Tees
Get your driveway looking new again in Stockton-on-Tees. Cleaning, re-sanding and sealing for block paving, concrete and tarmac. Free, no-obligation quotes.
Older properties around Stockton-on-Tees 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.
We treat the cause as well as the surface: a biocide application that kills the algae and moss at the root, a proper rinse or rotary clean to lift what's already growing, then a re-sand and seal so the joints and surface are harder to recolonise next time. It's the difference between a driveway that looks clean for a fortnight and one that stays that way.
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.

Parking and Working Around Vehicles
Most driveway jobs need the drive itself clear of vehicles while we work, so we'll agree timing that lets you move cars off beforehand rather than turning up and finding the job can't start. On terraced streets with no off-road parking nearby, we'll talk through timing so you're not stuck without anywhere to park during the job.

Tree-Lined Streets and Shaded Driveways
A driveway under or near overhanging trees deals with more than shade - leaf fall staining the surface through autumn, sap marks in summer, and organic debris sitting in joints and low spots that keeps them damp long after the rest of the drive has dried. That constant low-level dampness is ideal for moss, which establishes faster here than almost anywhere else on a property.
We clear organic debris from joints and edges as part of the clean rather than just cleaning around it, and biocide treatment tends to need reapplying more often on driveways with heavy tree cover overhead. Sealing still helps here, but we're honest that a heavily shaded drive will always need attention more regularly than one that gets full sun.

Degreasing Products for Oil and Fuel Staining
- Oil, diesel and fuel stains need dedicated degreasing products rather than a standard surface cleaner, which barely touches ground-in staining. We use products matched to the surface - concrete, block paving and tarmac all respond differently - and on older, deeply set stains we may recommend a repeat application rather than promising full removal in one pass.
How We Clean and Seal Your Driveway
We start with a walk-round to identify the surface - block paving, poured or imprinted concrete, resin or tarmac - and check for anything that needs attention before cleaning, such as cracked block, sunken areas, oil staining or joints that have lost most of their sand. That assessment decides the exact sequence for your drive rather than us running a single fixed process regardless of what's actually there.
From there it's biocide treatment to kill weeds, algae and moss at the root, a rest period so the treatment can work, then pressure or rotary cleaning matched to the surface to lift what's loosened. Block paving gets kiln-dried sand worked back into the joints once dry, and if you're having it sealed, that goes on last, once the surface has had time to dry through properly.
