Should I have my driveway sealed after it's cleaned?

Sealing is optional but worth considering if you want the clean finish to last longer - it slows algae regrowth and makes the surface easier to keep clean. It's not essential, and we'll give an honest view on whether it's worthwhile for your particular surface.

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.

How much does pressure washing cost?

Prices vary with area size and condition, but a typical driveway starts from around £70-£120. Larger areas, heavy algae build-up, or add-ons like re-sanding and sealing will change the price - we quote properly rather than guessing over the phone.

What happens to the dirty water and run-off?

We work to keep run-off sensible and away from drains, ponds or plant beds where possible, and manage any chemicals used according to our spill management training.

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.

Do you provide before and after photos?

We're happy to, and we already use a pole-mounted camera for gutter work as standard proof - the same approach can be used for driveway, patio and wall jobs on request.

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.

We pressure wash driveways, patios, paths, yards and walls across Fatfield and the surrounding NE38 area, using rotary surface cleaners for speed on open ground and hand lances for edges, steps and detail.

Driveway, patio, path, yard or wall - each one behaves differently under a pressure washer. A block-paved driveway can take a firm rotary clean; a natural stone patio needs a gentler pass to protect the pointing; a painted rendered wall needs low pressure and a soft-wash approach rather than a jet.

Also covering Harraton and Columbia

We're regularly out pressure washing driveways and patios in Harraton and Columbia as well as Fatfield itself, so we know the area well - the mix of housing stock, typical driveway materials and common problem spots.

If you're arranging work for a family member or rental property in any of these areas, we can often combine visits.

Exposed and higher-ground properties

Properties on higher, more exposed ground get more wind-driven rain and generally less shelter, which keeps surfaces wetter for longer after weather and speeds up the algae cycle even where sun exposure is decent.

Wind is also a practical factor on the day - we adjust spray pattern and working position to keep run-off and overspray under control on more exposed driveways and patios.

Homeowners

One visit, several areas

Most homes have more than one surface worth cleaning at once - driveway, patio, side path and a garden wall are a common combination. Doing them together in one visit is more efficient than booking each separately, and we can quote for the lot up front.

Trained in the products we use

Biocide trained (2024): Formal training in the correct use of biocide treatments for algae and moss, applied at the right dilution and dwell time.
Surface-matched pressure: Settings are chosen for the material - firm on block paving, low on tarmac, gentle on walls.
Spill management trained: We know how to contain and manage any accidental spills responsibly rather than letting them run into drains or gardens.
Fully insured: Cover in place for both residential and commercial jobs.

A typical driveway or patio clean, step by step

1
Survey the surface
We check material, condition of jointing or pointing, and flag any areas of concern before starting.
2
Clear and pre-treat
Loose debris is removed and any oil, sap or organic staining gets a pre-treatment to loosen it before washing.
3
Main wash
Rotary surface cleaner across open areas, hand lance for edges, steps and detail, with pressure set to the material.
4
Rinse and inspect
A final rinse clears residue, and we check the finish is even across the whole area.
5
Re-sand or seal if agreed
Joints are re-sanded and a sealer applied once the surface is fully dry, if that's part of the job.

Tarmac driveways and paths

Tarmac is more vulnerable to aggressive pressure washing than most people expect - too high a setting can loosen surface aggregate and leave a rougher, more porous finish that gets dirty again faster. We always use low pressure and a wide fan on tarmac, prioritising a thorough, gentle clean over speed.

Booking multiple areas together

Combining a driveway with a patio, path or wall in the same visit is usually better value than booking them separately, since we're on-site with equipment set up regardless of how many areas we're cleaning.

Get in touch with a rough idea of what you'd like covered and we'll put together a single quote for the visit.

Driveway + patio combined

typically from around £130-£250

Driveway + path

typically from around £110-£200

Full exterior (drive, patio, path, walls)

typically from around £250-£450

Pressure Washing near Fatfield

Pressure Washing in Fatfield — common questions

From driveways and patios to paths, yards and walls, we clean outdoor surfaces across Fatfield and the wider NE38 area with pressure matched to the material - firm where it's safe, gentle where it isn't.

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.

Get in touch with a description or photos and we'll give a realistic view of what's involved and what it's likely to cost.
