Will it stripe like a domestic pressure washer?

No - we use a rotary flat-surface cleaner that covers evenly, so the drive comes up uniformly clean.

How often should I have it done?

Most drives look best cleaned every 2-3 years; sealed drives can go 4-5 years between deep cleans.

Do I really need to re-sand the joints?

Yes - without kilned sand back in the joints, blocks rock, weeds return and the surface fails within a season.

It's optional. Seal locks in the colour, blocks weed growth and makes the next clean easier. Not sealing is fine too - we won't push it.

Can you clean a patio at the same time?

Yes - most customers ask us to do patio, paths and steps on the same day for a better rate.

Service

Driveway Cleaning & Restoration

A tired block-paved drive rarely needs replacing - it just needs a proper clean, joint re-sanding and, if you want, a sealer to keep it that way. We do the whole job in a day for most drives.

Why us

30+ years on the tools across Surrey & Hampshire. Family-run, fully insured, no subcontracted crews.

Local factors we plan around

north-facing frontages that grow black moss and algae faster than open sunny plots
leafy roads around Farnborough, Fleet and Camberley where autumn leaf tannin stains blocks by January
drives where the original installer skipped kilned sand, so joints have washed clean within a couple of winters
sealed drives from previous contractors where a poor solvent seal has yellowed and needs stripping before re-sealing
