Certified & Fully Insured Team

Bristol’s Trusted Patio & Driveway Cleaning Specialists

Give your paving the care it deserves. Dirt, algae and lichen can hide its colour and leave the entrance to your home looking tired. A thorough clean improves the appearance and can reduce slippery biological build-up, while suitable biocide treatment helps delay regrowth.

Across 11 years of exterior cleaning, we have learned to match the method to the material and the condition of the joints. Cleaning, appropriate re-sanding and ongoing maintenance work together to keep paving well cared for. We explain the likely results before starting and give you practical advice afterwards.

What types of patios and driveways we can clean

Driveway surfaces

Professional cleaning for all driveway types: block paving, tarmac/asphalt, concrete, concrete paving, natural stone (granite, travertine, limestone), pattern imprinted concrete and crazy paving.
Controlled pressure washing or gentler cleaning, selected for the material and its condition.
Removal of algae, mould, oil stains, deep-set dirt and build-up caused by heavy traffic.
Removal of accessible weeds, moss and joint debris, with preparation for suitable re-sanding.
Re-sanding suitable block paving with Dansand or polymeric sand, selected for the joints and drainage. This supports joint stability and helps reduce weed establishment.

Patio surfaces

Cleaning dedicated to garden and relaxation areas, where moisture, shade and vegetation encourage the growth of algae, moss and organic staining.
Treatments tailored for sensitive natural stone (Indian sandstone, limestone, slate), where high pressure is not recommended and gentler methods are used to protect the surface texture.
Removal of black spots, a common issue on patios that receive partial sunlight and cannot be solved with standard pressure washing.
Restoring the natural colour of the stone and removing the dull appearance caused by moisture, garden residue, leaves or plant pots.
Suitable for concrete, flagstones, block paving, natural stone and crazy paving, each cleaned using the correct method for its specific material.

Our step-by-step patio & driveway cleaning process

Every driveway and patio is different. We inspect the material, joint condition, drainage and level of staining before selecting the cleaning method. Here is how our professional cleaning process works:

Initial inspection and honest quote

We assess the condition, material and level of contamination on your patio or driveway. You receive a clear, no-obligation quote before any work begins.

Targeted stain and biocide treatment

A cleaner-looking driveway starts with understanding what is on the surface. We select suitable treatment for algae, lichen or other deposits, with separate products for oil or traffic staining where appropriate. DDAC-based biocides from Benz or AlgoClear can be used on compatible paving to treat biological growth and help delay its return. We plan pre- or post-cleaning treatment to suit the job and product instructions, considering nearby plants and drainage. Some biological staining improves gradually; the treatment supports ongoing care rather than guaranteeing permanent protection.

Professional deep cleaning

On suitable hard surfaces, we use controlled pressure washing with a rotary surface cleaner, followed by attention to edges and stubborn areas. More sensitive finishes require gentler methods. Settings and any stain treatment are selected for the material and its condition; existing defects, wear and permanent stains may remain.

Finishing and block paving re-sanding

After cleaning, suitable block paving joints are replenished to help maintain the interlock between blocks. We offer Dansand joint-filling sand and polymeric sand where compatible with the paving, joint dimensions and drainage design. Dansand weed-inhibiting products create less favourable conditions for new weeds to establish; existing weeds and roots must be removed first. Polymeric sand contains a binder that sets after the specified water activation and curing, forming firmer joints that resist erosion and help reduce weed establishment. Neither option guarantees weed-free paving or repairs a failed sub-base. Dry brush-in products require dry paving and joints, so re-sanding may need a separate visit. We follow the selected product instructions and explain ongoing maintenance.

FAQs About Patio & Driveway Cleaning

When is the right time to clean your patio or driveway?

The best time is during dry weather, ideally in spring or early summer. However, we can clean your surfaces any time of the year as long as temperatures are above freezing and the area isn’t heavily soaked.

Can tough stains like black spots, oil marks and algae be fully removed?

Dirt and biological staining often improve considerably with suitable cleaning. Black lichen spots and oil marks may need specialist treatment, and some staining can remain where it has penetrated or affected the surface. We assess the paving and explain the likely outcome before work begins.

Can a sealing treatment be added after the cleaning process?

Drying time depends on the paving, weather and chosen sealant. We apply a suitable product only when the surface meets its preparation and moisture requirements, then follow the stated curing and access times. We will explain the schedule in your quote.

Can the work be done without me at home if there’s water access?

As long as we have access to water and the area to be cleaned, the job can be completed without you needing to be present.

Do your cleaning techniques work safely on any surface?

Yes. We use pressure-controlled washing, soft washing, or steam depending on the material, ensuring safe and effective results for stone, concrete, tarmac, block paving and more.

Is your team fully certified and insured for this type of work?

Absolutely. Our technicians are fully trained, follow all H&S guidelines, and are fully insured for exterior cleaning work.

Is it possible to request a free quote or an urgent appointment?

Yes, we offer free quotes and can arrange urgent appointments depending on availability. Just send us a message or give us a call.
