See the difference
A tired driveway vs a professional clean
Algae, black spot lichen and weeds slowly turn block paving green, patchy and slippery. A professional clean strips all of that back and re-sands the joints, so the surface looks — and behaves — like it should.
BeforeAfterDrag the handle to compare before and after
Kerb appeal back
The driveway is the first thing anyone sees. Bringing it back to a clean, even surface lifts the look of the whole front of the house.
Safer underfoot
Wet algae and black spot are genuinely slippery. Cleaning them off makes paths, patios and driveways safer through autumn and winter.
Re-sanded joints
Kiln-dried sand brushed back into the joints locks the blocks in place and slows the weeds and moss coming back.
Keeps its finish longer
A properly cleaned surface can also be sealed or treated afterwards — ask about it if you want the finish to last even longer.
Shaded driveways and patios green up faster — a maintenance clean every year or two keeps them at their best.

What to send us
We match the pressure and technique to the surface. On block paving, cleaning usually lifts the kiln-dried sand from the joints, so we recommend re-sanding afterwards to keep the paving stable.
What we cover

FAQs
Common questions about driveway cleaning
Will pressure washing damage my block paving?
We match the pressure and technique to the surface. On block paving, cleaning usually lifts the kiln-dried sand from the joints, so we recommend re-sanding afterwards to keep the paving stable.
Do you re-sand block paving after cleaning?
Yes — re-sanding is available as an add-on from £95. It replaces the jointing sand that cleaning removes and helps the paving stay locked together.
How much does driveway or patio cleaning cost?
Cleaning starts from £125 for a small patio or path, with a standard driveway from £225 and larger driveways from £350. The confirmed price depends on size, surface and how much growth or staining there is.
How long does driveway or patio cleaning take?
Most driveways and patios are cleaned in about half a day; a large drive or heavily soiled block paving can take a full day. We confirm timing once we see the size and how much moss, algae or black spot there is.
Will my driveway or patio come up like new?
Cleaning lifts moss, algae, dirt and general greening dramatically, so most driveways and patios look transformed. Deep-set oil stains and black spot (a lichen) lighten with the right treatment rather than vanishing completely — we're realistic about each surface before we start.
Which areas around Chester do you cover for driveway and patio cleaning?
We clean driveways, patios, paths and paving across Chester and roughly a 45-minute radius — Hoole, Handbridge, Upton, Saughall, Ellesmere Port, Frodsham, Northwich, Tarporley and the wider Cheshire and Wirral area.
