How is patio and driveway cleaning priced?

By the surface, its size and its condition: the stone or block type, the level of growth, and whether it needs re-sanding or a seal. Send a photo and rough measurements and we come back with a fixed price.

Do you clean block paving, natural stone and concrete?

Yes, and each gets a different method. Soft stone takes a gentler approach, block paving is re-sanded after the clean, and concrete takes a firmer one. The survey sets the method before any water touches the surface.

Do you cover my area?

We clean patios, paving and driveways across London and the South of England, working out from our Poole base.

Will pressure washing wreck my joints or stone?

We match the method to the surface. Soft stone gets a gentler approach; block paving gets re sanded after, not left loose.

Will the weeds come straight back?

We treat the growth and re sand the joints with kiln dried sand, which is what keeps them out.

Do you take the dirty water and mess away?

We control run off, sweep up, and leave your garden as we found it minus the grime.

Can you seal it so it stays clean?

Yes. An optional seal slows staining and regrowth and brings the colour up. We quote it as an extra so you choose.

01 / service

When patio and paving cleaning is the right call

Black and green film is covering the slabs.
Weeds and moss are in every joint.
Sand has washed out of the block paving.
You want it ready for summer or for a sale.

02 / why quick blasts fail

Why a quick blast does not last

Pressure alone can make paving look better for a week while leaving the joints loose and the roots alive. The method has to suit the surface.

Dirty water pushed into joints

The mess moves around the paving instead of being controlled and cleared.

Sand blown out leaves blocks loose

Block paving needs the joints restored after cleaning.

Weeds return in weeks

Growth has to be treated before the clean and the joints restored after it.

Wrong pressure pits soft stone

Natural stone needs a gentler method than concrete paving.

03 / process

Clean the surface. Restore the joints.

Survey and surface test

Check the stone, block paving, drainage and any fragile edges before choosing the method.

Treat weeds and moss

Treat growth before cleaning so the work lasts longer than a quick blast.

Deep clean

Clean with the right pressure, head and chemistry for the surface.

Re sand joints and optional seal

Re sand block paving joints and quote seal as an optional extra where it suits the surface.
