Driveway & Patio Cleaning FAQs

Yes. Block paving is one of the surfaces we regularly clean.

Professional pressure washing can remove accumulated dirt, moss, algae, weeds and surface contamination, helping restore the appearance of the paving.

Pressure washing can remove some of the jointing sand between block paving. Once the paving has been cleaned and is sufficiently dry, kiln-dried sand can be swept back into the joints.

Re-sanding helps replace sand removed during cleaning, supports the paving joints and gives the driveway a more complete finished appearance

Yes. We provide professional cleaning for Indian sandstone and other natural stone patios.

The cleaning method is selected according to the condition and type of stone. Where appropriate, hot-water or steam cleaning can also be used to help remove stubborn contamination while reducing the amount of pressure required.

We can significantly improve patios affected by black spot, lichen, algae, moss and other organic contamination.

Results can vary depending on the paving material, age of the staining and how deeply the contamination has become established.

We assess the surface before deciding on the most appropriate cleaning method.

Specialist Exterior Cleaning

Soft washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method used for surfaces that may not be suitable for conventional high-pressure washing.

It is particularly useful for rendered walls and other more delicate exterior surfaces.

Rather than attacking the surface with excessive pressure, an appropriate cleaning process is used to remove algae, mould, mildew and organic staining.

Yes. Our professional equipment provides hot-water pressure washing for suitable surfaces. Heat can help break down stubborn dirt and contamination while allowing effective cleaning without always relying on extremely high pressure.

Yes. Steam cleaning is available where appropriate.

High-temperature cleaning can be particularly useful for stubborn contamination and surfaces where a more controlled cleaning approach is required.

We determine whether pressure washing, hot water, steam cleaning, soft washing or a combination of methods is most appropriate.

For this reason, we provide low-pressure render cleaning and soft washing for suitable rendered walls, including K-Rend, Monocouche and similar surfaces.

Yes. We clean softwood, hardwood and composite decking.

Decking requires careful cleaning because excessive pressure can damage timber surfaces. We therefore use controlled pressure and appropriate cleaning techniques according to the material and condition.

Cleaning can remove dirt, algae, moss and organic growth while helping make slippery decking cleaner and more usable.

In general no oil staining can be a bugger to remove it can often be improved, but complete removal cannot always be guaranteed.

The final result depends on factors including the surface material, type of oil, age of the stain and how deeply the contamination has penetrated.

We can assess the staining and advise what result is realistically achievable. Normally fading the oil stain at best, there are specialist companies out there that could do it, but its not a cheap quick fix job, our work is more organic removal.

Yes. We clean brickwork, garden walls, natural stone and other suitable masonry surfaces.

Depending on the material, we may use controlled pressure washing, hot water, steam cleaning or lower-pressure techniques.
