When did you last see the actual colour of your driveway? For a lot of homes in Peterlee it's been a while - block paving, tarmac and concrete all darken gradually under a film of algae and grime until the original shade is barely a memory.

A standard driveway pressure wash typically starts from around £70-£120 depending on size and how much moss and algae has built up - considerably less than the cost of relaying or resurfacing a driveway that's been left to deteriorate.

Whatever the season, we adjust the job to conditions: lower pressure and more dwell time on frost-softened jointing in early spring, standard technique through the drier months, and careful attention to leaf-stained patios in autumn.

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.

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.

Modern estate driveways and patios

Post-war new town estates built from 1948 under the New Towns Act 1946. Newer block paving and porcelain or composite patios are common on recent developments, and while the materials are more consistent than on older properties, algae still takes hold within a couple of years, especially on north-facing plots.

These surfaces generally take a firm rotary clean well, so results tend to be quick and dramatic - the main job is keeping pressure even so there's no colour difference between passes.

Dealing with oil, rust or organic staining

  1. 1

    Identify the stain type

    Oil, rust and organic staining (algae, sap, leaf tannin) each respond to different treatments, so we work out what we're dealing with first.

  2. 2

    Apply targeted pre-treatment

    A suitable degreaser or biocide is applied directly to the stained area and left to work before washing begins.

  3. 3

    Pressure wash the treated area

    Once the treatment has had time to work, the area is washed at a pressure appropriate to the surface.

  4. 4

    Assess and repeat if needed

    Deep or old staining sometimes needs a second treatment - we'll tell you honestly if full removal isn't realistic in one visit.

  5. 5

    Blend with surrounding surface

    The treated area is washed to match the rest of the surface so there's no visible patch where the stain used to be.
