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.
Cleaning by surface type
Block paving and natural stone generally take a firm clean well, so we lead with the rotary head to strip back algae, moss and general grime quickly and evenly.
Tarmac needs a different approach entirely - low pressure and a wider fan to lift dirt without disturbing the bitumen and aggregate, since aggressive jetting can loosen the surface over time.
Render, brick and painted garden walls get a soft-wash approach: lower pressure, sometimes combined with a biocide treatment, to remove algae without damaging pointing or paintwork.
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.
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
Getting the patio and yard back in use
Slippery moss on a patio isn't just unsightly, it's a genuine trip hazard for kids and older relatives alike. We clean patios, paths and yards thoroughly enough that the space is safe and pleasant to actually use again, not just cleaner to look at.
Pricing with add-ons
The clean itself is usually the smaller part of the decision - re-sanding and sealing are the extras most likely to change the total, and they're the ones most worth considering if you want the result to last.
| Pressure wash only | from around £70 upwards depending on area |
|---|---|
| Re-sanding joints | typically from around £3-£6 per m² |
| Sealing after cleaning | typically from around £5-£9 per m² |
| Combined clean, re-sand and seal | typically from around £250-£500 for an average driveway |
Parking and vehicle access during the job
We ask that vehicles are moved off the driveway or area being cleaned before we arrive where possible, since it lets us cover the whole surface in one pass rather than working around a parked car.
For patios and yards behind the house, side access wide enough for a hose and equipment is normally all that's needed - we'll ask about this when confirming the booking.
Part of our regular working area
Hartlepool sits well within our standard coverage from Washington, alongside places like Peterlee, Billingham and Middlesbrough, all within a short drive of each other.
That density means we're often already working nearby, which helps keep travel time - and therefore price - sensible.
