🔧 DIY Tips
Cleaning your driveway yourself? Here's the reality check:
🔧 What you'll need
- Pressure washer (hire commercial if possible)
- Weed treatment
- Kiln-dried sand for block paving
- Full day (minimum)
📐 Approach
- Treat weeds a week before
- Clear loose debris
- Work systematically (don't skip)
- Keep nozzle moving
- Re-sand block paving joints
⚠️ Common issues
- Domestic washers too weak
- Takes much longer than expected
- Easy to miss areas
- Lines visible if not careful
💡 Pro trick: If using domestic washer, do multiple passes rather than trying to get it all in one. Slow progress beats permanent lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of driveways can you clean?
Concrete, tarmac, block paving, resin-bound, stone, slabs - most hard surfaces. Different materials need different approaches, but most can be pressure washed effectively.
How long will a clean driveway stay clean?
Depends on conditions - shaded, damp driveways get dirty faster. Typically 1-2 years before major re-clean needed. Sealing after cleaning extends this significantly.
Can pressure washing damage my driveway?
Only if done incorrectly. We use appropriate pressure for each surface. Old, crumbling concrete needs gentler treatment than new block paving.
Is sealing worth doing after cleaning?
For block paving especially, yes. Sealing protects the surface, makes future cleaning easier, and slows weed regrowth in joints. We can quote for sealing if wanted.
