Will the weeds come back?

Eventually, everything does. Re-sanding slows it down a great deal, and most customers find a clean lasts two to three years before it is worth doing again.

Can you get oil stains out?

Often, but not always. Fresh oil usually lifts; something that has been soaking into concrete for ten years may only fade. We will tell you which we think it is before you book.

Driveway Cleaning

Block paving does not fade so much as disappear under a film of algae, moss and traffic dirt. It happens slowly enough that people stop noticing until they see half of it cleaned. We pressure wash the whole drive, clear out the joints, and re-sand afterwards so the blocks stay locked together rather than working loose.

What you get

It is the first thing anyone sees.

The drive is the largest single surface on the front of most houses, and a green one makes everything behind it look tired. Cleaning it is the cheapest thing you can do to the outside of a property that people actually comment on.

Service overview

Why re-sanding matters more than the wash.

Pressure washing block paving takes the sand out of the joints along with the moss. If nobody puts it back, the blocks lose their interlock, start to rock under car tyres and eventually sink. A cheap driveway clean that skips the re-sanding costs you a relay later.

The sand is structural

Block paving works because each block is wedged against its neighbours. Empty joints mean movement, and movement means ruts where the wheels go.

Empty joints fill with seeds

A joint with no sand in it is a seed bed. Re-sanding is also the thing that keeps the weeds from coming straight back.

We use kiln-dried sand

It is dry enough to run down into the joint properly rather than bridging across the top and leaving a void underneath.

How we do it

Driveway Cleaning in Enfield, start to finish.

1
We look at what it is
Block paving, concrete and old tarmac all behave differently under pressure. We tell you what will come up and what will not before we quote.
2
We wash the whole surface
Edge to edge in overlapping passes, so there are no stripes left where one pass met the next. Weeds come out of the joints as we go.
3
We re-sand and tidy
Block paving gets kiln-dried sand brushed back into the joints, and the silt we have washed off gets cleared rather than left in your gutter.

Choosing the right option

Options that suit your property.

Every property is different. We tell you which of these actually suits yours, and say so when the cheaper option is the sensible one.

Wash and re-sand

Best for: Block paving

The standard driveway job, and the one we do most. Clean, joints cleared, kiln-dried sand brushed back in.

Wash only

Best for: Concrete and tarmac

Surfaces with no joints to fill. The same clean without the re-sanding, priced accordingly.

Drive, path and patio together

Best for: Doing the lot in one visit

One visit and one quote instead of several, because the equipment is already set up and the water is already running.

Not at the pressures we work at. We keep the lance moving and at the right distance, which is what stops the surface of the block being cut.
