Moss and algae on your driveway in Coundon? We pressure wash driveways, patios, paths, yards and walls with surface-matched pressure. Get a free quote.
A proper pressure wash brings it back in an afternoon. We use rotary surface cleaners for large flat areas and hand lances for edges, steps and anything more delicate, so the finish is even rather than patchy.
Pressure washing strips all of that back to the original surface without guesswork. We match the pressure and technique to what we're cleaning - driveway, patio, path, yard or wall - so the dirt comes off and the surface underneath doesn't.
We work through driveways, patios, paths, yards and walls with the pressure set to the material, a rotary head for flat expanses and a fan lance for edges and detail, so everything comes up clean without stripping jointing sand or pitting soft surfaces.
Pressure washing near Coundon
As well as Coundon itself, we regularly cover the surrounding area including Bishop Auckland, Shildon, Spennymoor and Ferryhill, so if you're just outside Coundon's boundary it's still very much within reach.
Being based in Washington with a working radius of around 45 miles means none of this is out-of-the-way work for us - it's the core of what we cover week to week.

Homeowners
Keeping on top of it, not starting from scratch each time
Once a driveway or patio has had a proper deep clean, an annual or biennial top-up wash keeps it looking right without ever letting things build back up to the same state. We're happy to set up a repeat visit at a time that suits rather than waiting for it to get bad again.
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.
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.
Cleaning a tarmac driveway safely
- 1
Assess the tarmac
We check for existing cracking, loose aggregate or previous patch repairs, since these affect how much pressure the surface can safely take.
- 2
Set low pressure
Tarmac gets a noticeably lower pressure and wider fan than block paving to avoid loosening the surface bitumen.
- 3
Work in overlapping passes
The lance is kept moving in slow, even passes rather than held still, which prevents localised damage.
- 4
Rinse thoroughly
A full rinse clears lifted grime so it doesn't just redeposit as the surface dries.
