Planning driveway & patio cleaning in Cheshire
Out across Cheshire you get the bigger drives and patios — sweeping block-paved entrances on village and rural-edge detacheds, Indian sandstone and natural stone terraces behind converted barns, and long path-and-block runs on 1960s–80s homes set back from the road. The county sits on heavy clay and gets plenty of rain, and many of these surfaces sit under mature oaks, limes and beech, so moss, black spot and green algae take hold fast, especially on the shaded side and anywhere leaf-fall sits over winter. Block paving loses its jointing sand and weeds creep through; sandstone goes dark and slippery. What we do is pre-treat the growth, pressure clean carefully so older flags and softer stone aren't scarred, then re-sand block paving and talk through sealing where it'll actually hold. Because places are spread out, we plan drive and patio cleans by route, so a postcode and a few photos help us confirm access for the gear and a nearby slot.

Questions
Driveway & Patio Cleaning in Cheshire — FAQs
How much does driveway and patio cleaning cost in Cheshire?
In Cheshire, driveway and patio cleaning starts from £125. The exact figure depends on the size of the job, access and condition, and we confirm it from a few photos before anything is booked, so there are no surprises. The quote is free.
Who does driveway and patio cleaning in Cheshire?
Chester Property & Garden Maintenance (CPAGM) covers Cheshire from our base in Chester. We are a fully insured local team rated 5.0 from 34 Google reviews, with published prices and photo-led quotes. Send a few photos on WhatsApp or through the quote form and we come back with a price.
Do you travel across the wider Cheshire area for drive and patio cleaning?
Yes — we cover Cheshire for homeowners, landlords and small sites, not just Chester. Because properties are spread out and the gear needs water and access, we plan cleans by route, so send your postcode and a few photos and we'll confirm travel and a nearby slot.
My sandstone patio goes black and slippery every winter — what causes that and can it be cleaned?
That's black spot and algae, and it's common on Cheshire stone because so many patios sit shaded under mature trees on damp clay ground. We pre-treat it and clean carefully so the stone isn't scarred, then can talk through a treatment or seal to slow it coming back.
Will cleaning my block-paved drive leave it looking patchy or loose?
Not if it's finished properly. Pressure cleaning lifts the old jointing sand, so we re-sand the joints afterwards to lock the blocks back in and stop weeds — re-sanding is a normal add-on, and we'll only suggest sealing where it'll genuinely hold on your surface.
Is it worth sealing my drive or patio once it's cleaned?
Sometimes — but only where it'll genuinely hold. On the damp, tree-shaded surfaces common across Cheshire, a good sealer on sound block paving or dry sandstone can slow moss and black spot returning and lift the colour. On older, still-damp or flaking stone it won't take, so we'll tell you honestly rather than sell you a coat that peels.
When's the best time of year to get the patio and drive done?
Spring is popular once winter leaf-fall and the worst of the damp have passed, so it looks fresh for summer and any re-sand or seal cures in drier weather. Autumn's also sensible to clear built-up algae before the wet sets in. We work through the year, but drier spells give the cleanest finish.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Two or three photos that show the whole job and the access are normally enough for a firm price. Larger or access-sensitive work may need a short visit first, and we will say so.

Questions people ask about driveway and patio cleaning in Cheshire
How do you clean patio slabs?
Sweep off loose dirt, clear the weeds from the joints, then scrub or pressure wash with a cleaner suited to the stone. Natural stone such as Indian sandstone needs a gentler clean than concrete, and black spots need a lichen treatment rather than more pressure.
How do you get rid of black spots on a patio?
Black spots are lichen, which a jet wash alone won't shift. They need a lichen treatment left to work for a few weeks, then washed off. We treat black spots from £125.
How often should a driveway or patio be cleaned?
Once a year keeps most driveways and patios looking good, usually in spring or late summer. Shaded, north-facing areas green over faster and may need cleaning more often.
Does pressure washing damage block paving?
It washes out the jointing sand, which is why block paving needs re-sanding after a deep clean. Without it the blocks can shift and weeds seed back into the gaps. We re-sand from £95.
