What is included
The re-sanding is the step that separates a proper job from a wet driveway. Without it the blocks work loose and weeds come straight back through the joints.
- Pre-treatment for weeds, moss and algae
- Rotary surface clean for an even finish with no tiger stripes
- Detail lancing on edges, joints, steps and kerbs
- Full re-sand with kiln-dried sand on block paving
- Optional sealing to keep it clean longer and lock the sand in
- Gutters and downpipes rinsed if we are already washing down
- Everything washed off and left tidy
- Before and after photographs

How a clean runs
STEP 01
Photo or quick visit
Most drives can be priced from a photo and rough dimensions.
STEP 02
Pre-treat
Weeds and moss killed off first so they do not grow straight back through.
STEP 03
Rotary clean
An even finish across the whole surface, then detail lancing on the edges.
STEP 04
Re-sand
Kiln-dried sand brushed and vibrated into every joint.
STEP 05
Seal, if you want it
Optional, but it keeps the colour and stops the weeds returning.

What does driveway cleaning cost?
It is priced by area and by what is on there. A standard block paving drive is a fixed price per square metre. Heavy oil staining, deep moss or a surface that has never been touched takes longer and costs more.
Sealing is priced separately because it is genuinely optional. It roughly doubles the time before it needs doing again and it stops weeds seeding into the joints, but a clean and re-sand on its own is a perfectly reasonable choice.

Frequently asked questions
Will cleaning damage my block paving?
No, done at the right pressure with a rotary head. What damages block paving is a pointed lance held in one place, which blows the sand out and scores the blocks.
Do I need it sealed?
Not necessarily. Sealing keeps it looking better for longer and stops weeds, but a clean and re-sand is a valid choice on its own.
How long does it take?
Most domestic drives are a single day, including the re-sand.
Can you get oil stains out?
Usually we can lift most of it. Old, deeply soaked oil sometimes leaves a shadow, and we will tell you that before starting rather than after.
Do you clean patios and decking too?
Yes, and paths, steps, walls and render. It is usually cheaper to do it all in one visit.
Do you need scaffolding, and is it included?
Anything beyond a small repair within safe ladder reach needs scaffold or a tower. Where it is needed it is included in the quoted price, not added later.
