Driveway and tarmac cleaning

Driveways turn green and black from the edges inwards, and once moss is established in the joints, weeds follow. We wash block paving, concrete and tarmac back to their original colour and treat the surface so that regrowth is slower. Driveway pressure cleaning with the pressure matched to the surface, so tarmac, concrete and block paving are cleaned without damage.

They arrived on time and worked with great attention to detail, leaving everything looking spotless. I would highly recommend them

Assessment and Price

James visits, inspects the surface and the growth on it, and gives you a price. A photograph sent in advance is helpful for a long driveway.

Wash

The driveway is pressure washed from end to end, with the joints and edges cleaned properly rather than only the centre.

Treat

Where algae or fungus is present it is treated with the appropriate detergent so it does not return immediately. Sealing is a separate job on request.

Will pressure washing lift the tarmac?

Not when it is carried out at the correct pressure on sound tarmac. James has been washing tarmac driveways for over 20 years and adjusts the pressure to suit the surface. Loose or broken tarmac is a repair matter, and he will tell you if that is the case.

Do you remove the weeds from block paving?

Yes. The joints are cleaned out as part of the wash, and the surface is treated afterwards so the moss the weeds grow in is dealt with.

Do you seal the driveway afterwards?

We can. Sealing is a separate job, priced separately, and carried out only on request.
