Can you remove oil stains from a driveway?

We can significantly improve most oil staining using a targeted pre-treatment before the main wash, though very old or deeply soaked-in stains sometimes can't be removed completely in one visit. We'll be upfront about what's realistic once we've seen the stain.

Do you clean patios as well as driveways?

Yes - patios, paths, yards and walls are all part of what we cover, and it's often more efficient to book several areas together in one visit rather than separately.

Is pressure washing safe for garden walls?

It can be, but walls need a much gentler approach than driveways. We use a soft-wash technique on render, brick and painted walls rather than direct high-pressure jetting, to avoid damaging paintwork or pointing.

Can you pressure wash in winter?

Yes, though we adjust technique in colder conditions - lower pressure and extra care around jointing that may be softened by frost, and we'll avoid days where freezing overnight could cause issues with standing water.

When did you last see the actual colour of your driveway? For a lot of homes in Chopwell it's been a while - block paving, tarmac and concrete all darken gradually under a film of algae and grime until the original shade is barely a memory.

Late autumn leaf fall and a wet winter leave most outdoor surfaces coated in a fine green film by the time spring arrives - it's the most common time of year for us to be booked for driveways and patios that were fine twelve months ago.

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.

Natural stone patios and paths

Sandstone, limestone and similar natural stone need a more measured approach than manufactured paving - some stone is soft enough to mark under high pressure held too close. We work at moderate pressure with more passes rather than raw power, protecting both the stone face and the pointing between flags.

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.

Pressure Washing in Chopwell — common questions

A proper pressure wash resets a driveway or patio to close to its original condition, not just a marginal improvement - and with re-sanding or sealing added, that finish holds for longer.
