Driveways and patios, transformed

Hard surfaces age in slow motion. A driveway or patio picks up a creeping layer of algae, moss and ingrained dirt so gradually that you stop seeing it — until a clean strip appears where a plant pot used to sit and you realise just how far it had gone. Pressure washing is the job with the most dramatic before-and-after of anything we do.

It's not just about looks, either. That green film is slippery when wet, and moss forcing its way between blocks and slabs lifts and loosens them over time. Clearing it makes a surface safer to walk on and helps it last, as well as looking years younger.

What pressure washing covers

• Patios, driveways, paths and steps
• Block paving, slabs, concrete and natural stone
• Algae, moss, weeds and ingrained dirt removed
• Kiln-dried sand re-applied to block paving where needed
• The area rinsed down and left tidy

How we clean a hard surface

1. Assess the surface

   We check what the surface is and its condition, because block paving, natural stone and concrete each need a slightly different touch.

2. Treat and clear

   Weeds and heavy moss are dealt with first, so the wash lifts the ingrained dirt rather than just the loose growth.

3. Pressure wash evenly

   The surface is washed in controlled passes for an even finish — no stripe marks or missed patches.

4. Re-sand and rinse

   On block paving we brush in fresh kiln-dried sand to lock the blocks, then rinse everything down and clear up.

The fastest way to lift your kerb appeal

Nothing changes the look of the front of a house faster than a clean driveway. Where a window clean is a steady, keep-on-top-of-it job, pressure washing is the occasional reset that makes a tired exterior look cared-for again in an afternoon. Done every year or two it keeps surfaces safe underfoot, stops moss doing lasting damage to the joints, and protects the money you put into your paving in the first place.
