Not every surface takes the same pressure. Block paving and stone can generally take a firm clean; tarmac needs a much gentler setting to avoid disturbing the aggregate; render and painted walls need something gentler still. Getting that wrong is how surfaces get damaged rather than cleaned.
That price covers a full clean with surface-appropriate pressure across DL14, and we're happy to quote for patios, paths, yards and walls at the same visit if you want more than one area done.
The pressure needs to match the surface - firm on solid block paving, low and slow on tarmac, gentle on render and painted walls. We set it by material, not by how stubborn the dirt looks, which is why the finish stays even and the surface stays intact.
How we pressure wash a driveway or patio
We start with a walk-round to check the surface type, condition of joints or pointing, and any oil or organic staining that needs pre-treatment before washing begins.
Loose debris and heavy moss growth are cleared first, then the main clean is done with a rotary surface cleaner on open areas and a hand lance for edges, steps and against walls.
Once the surface is clean we deal with any re-sanding of block paving joints and apply a sealer if that's been agreed, leaving everything to dry before we hand back.
Block paving and concrete block driveways
- Block paving generally takes a firm rotary clean well, but the jointing sand between blocks is the part that's easiest to damage - too much pressure held too close washes it straight out. We clean at a pressure that lifts algae and grime without stripping the joints, and offer re-sanding afterwards where they've thinned.
Homeowners
Kerb appeal that actually lasts
A clean driveway does more for how a house looks from the road than almost anything else - it's the first surface anyone sees, and a green, streaked one undercuts even a freshly painted front door. We bring it back to an even finish and, with sealing, keep it that way for longer.
Coastal exposure
Properties nearer the coast pick up salt-laden air alongside the usual rainfall, and that combination tends to accelerate algae growth and leave a slightly gritty, grey film on driveways, paths and walls that's a bit different from inland grime.
We give exposed coastal surfaces an extra rinse pass to clear residual salt as well as dirt, and sealing is often worth considering here since it's one of the more effective ways to slow regrowth between cleans.
Booking a slot that fits

Weekday, weekend and early or late slots are all workable for residential jobs - just let us know if timing matters and we'll do what we can to fit around it.
