Nevilles Cross Driveway Cleaning & Pressure Washing

Moss and algae on your driveway in Nevilles Cross? We pressure wash driveways, patios, paths, yards and walls with surface-matched pressure. Get a free quote.

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.

We treat each area on its own terms rather than running the same setting over everything, which is how surfaces end up damaged rather than restored.

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.

Composite decking and porcelain paving

  • Modern composite decking and porcelain paving are tougher than natural materials in some ways but can still be damaged by concentrated high pressure at close range, and composite in particular can be scored if the nozzle is held too close. We keep the lance moving and at a sensible distance to get a clean result without surface damage.

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.

A typical driveway or patio clean, step by step

  1. 1

    Survey the surface

    We check material, condition of jointing or pointing, and flag any areas of concern before starting.

  2. 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. 3

    Main wash

    Rotary surface cleaner across open areas, hand lance for edges, steps and detail, with pressure set to the material.

  4. 4

    Rinse and inspect

    A final rinse clears residue, and we check the finish is even across the whole area.

  5. 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.
