Frequently asked questions

How much does driveway cleaning cost?

It really depends on the size of the driveway, what it’s made of, and how bad the build-up is. A small block paving drive that’s had regular maintenance is a different job to a large tarmac drive that hasn’t been touched in five years. We’d always rather come out and give you an honest, free no-obligation quote than throw a number at you over the phone that ends up being wrong either way.

Will pressure washing damage my driveway?

Not when it’s done properly, which is exactly why we don’t just turn up and blast everything at full pressure. Different surfaces need different approaches resin and older block paving in particular can be damaged by the wrong technique, so we adjust pressure and method depending on what we’re working on. This is also why we use softwashing on some jobs rather than pure high-pressure cleaning.

How long does it take to clean a driveway?

Most standard-sized driveways are done in half a day to a full day. Larger ones, or drives with heavy moss and years of grime, can take a bit longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we quote, based on what we can actually see on the day.

Do I need to be home while you clean my driveway?

No, you don’t need to be in plenty of our customers are at work while we’re on site. We just need access to the driveway and, ideally, a water and power source nearby. We’ll always let you know once the job’s done.

Will the moss and weeds just come back after a few months?

Moss and weeds will come back eventually that’s just how driveways work, especially with all the rain we get. How quickly depends on the surface, drainage, and how shaded the area is. This is really where sealing comes in: a sealed driveway is much harder for moss and weeds to take hold on again, which is why we always recommend it as a follow-up rather than a one-off clean and forget.

What's the difference between driveway cleaning and driveway sealing?

Cleaning removes what’s already there moss, algae, oil stains, general grime. Sealing goes on afterwards and protects the surface going forward, so it stays cleaner for longer and holds up better against weather. They work best together; cleaning without sealing means you’re likely doing the job again sooner than you’d like.

Can you remove oil stains from my driveway?

Yes, oil stains are one of the more common things we get asked about, especially on drives where a car’s been parked in the same spot for years. Older, deeply set-in stains can be stubborn and occasionally won’t lift 100%, but our pressure cleaning and washing methods get the vast majority looking a lot better.

Is driveway cleaning safe for block paving, or will it disturb the joints?

Block paving needs a bit more care because of the jointing sand between the blocks. We clean out weeds and moss from the joints as part of the job rather than just cleaning around them, and where needed we can re-sand afterwards, so the paving stays stable rather than being left with gaps.

Do you work in winter, or is driveway cleaning a summer-only job?

We work year-round moss and algae are honestly worse in the wetter, colder months, so there’s no need to wait for summer. The main thing weather affects is drying time if sealing’s part of the job, which we’ll factor into scheduling.
