How often should a driveway be pressure washed?

Most driveways benefit from a clean every one to two years, depending on how shaded the area is and how quickly algae builds up. A light annual maintenance wash generally costs less than letting several years of build-up accumulate before dealing with it.

Will pressure washing damage my block paving?

Not if the pressure is set correctly. Block paving generally takes a firm clean well, but too much pressure held too close can wash out jointing sand - we work at a pressure that cleans effectively without stripping the joints, and offer re-sanding if they need it.

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.

Is it worth pressure washing before selling my house?

It's one of the better-value improvements before viewings - a clean driveway and patio noticeably improve kerb appeal for relatively modest cost compared with other pre-sale work.

Black streaks creeping up a driveway, green slime pooling in the shady corner of a patio, moss pushing up between block paving joints - it starts small and then, seemingly overnight, the whole surface looks tired and neglected, even when the house itself is well kept.

Picture the driveway as it looked the day it was laid - even colour, crisp joint lines, no green film creeping across the surface. That's the realistic target for a professional pressure wash, not a marginal improvement but a genuine reset.

Homeowners

Preparing a home for sale or viewings

Driveways and patios are exactly the kind of thing buyers notice without consciously registering why a property feels well cared for. A pressure wash ahead of viewings is one of the cheapest, quickest improvements available before photos or an open house.

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.
