Is pressure washing safe for tarmac driveways?

Yes, but it needs a much lower pressure than block paving or concrete. High pressure on tarmac can loosen surface aggregate, so we always use a gentler setting and wider fan on tarmac to clean thoroughly without risking damage.

Do you offer re-sanding after cleaning block paving?

Yes. If cleaning has washed out or thinned the jointing sand, or if it was already low beforehand, we can re-sand the joints as part of the job or as a follow-up visit.

What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Pressure washing uses concentrated water pressure to physically strip dirt and growth off a surface. Soft washing uses lower pressure combined with a cleaning solution, usually a biocide, to treat algae and moss more gently - better suited to walls, render and delicate surfaces.

Will you need access to my water supply?

Yes, we typically connect to an outside tap. If your property doesn't have one, let us know in advance and we'll discuss options rather than finding out on the day.

City of Sunderland · SR6 · 5.7 miles east of our Washington base

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.

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.

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.

A wider catchment across Tyne and Wear

Beyond the immediate area, we also cover Simonside, Silksworth, Westoe and Primrose, all within easy reach as part of our normal round from Washington.

Wherever you are in that catchment, the same standards apply - surface-appropriate pressure, proper pre-treatment where needed, and re-sanding or sealing on request.

Kerb appeal that actually lasts

A clean driveway does more for how a house looks from the road than almost anything else - it's the first surface anyone sees, and a green, streaked one undercuts even a freshly painted front door. We bring it back to an even finish and, with sealing, keep it that way for longer.

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.

Dealing with oil, rust or organic staining

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
Apply targeted pre-treatment
A suitable degreaser or biocide is applied directly to the stained area and left to work before washing begins.
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
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
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.

Pressure Washing in Fulwell — common questions

We pressure wash driveways, patios, paths, yards and walls across Fulwell, with the pressure and technique chosen to suit each surface.

Block paving, concrete, tarmac, natural stone and walls all need different handling, and treating them the same is how surfaces get damaged rather than cleaned. We set pressure and method by material every time.

Send us a few details or photos of what needs cleaning and we'll come back with a straightforward price - no pressure either way.
