Professional driveway cleaning
A Clean Driveway Changes the Whole Look of Your Home
Your driveway is the first thing people see when they pull up to your home. With the amount of rain we get in the Midlands, driveways quickly pick up a green film of algae, moss in the joints, black spots of lichen and dark weather staining. Add in oil drips and tyre marks and even a fairly new driveway can start to look tired within a couple of years.
Our driveway power washing service uses commercial-grade pressure washers and rotary surface cleaners to lift dirt from deep in the surface without damaging it. We adjust pressure and water temperature to suit the material, so tarmac, concrete, brick paving and imprinted concrete are all cleaned safely and evenly, with no striping or blotchy patches.
Once the surface is clean, we can apply a biocide treatment to kill off remaining spores so moss and algae take much longer to return, and re-sand block paving joints to help keep weeds out.

Surfaces we clean
Every Type of Driveway, Cleaned the Right Way
Each surface needs a different approach. We match the pressure, nozzle and cleaning products to the material so you get the best result without causing damage.
Concrete Driveways
Concrete is porous and soaks up dirt, oil and algae. A thorough power wash lifts ingrained grime and brings back the original light finish.
Tarmac & Asphalt
Tarmac needs a careful touch. We use controlled pressure to clear moss, algae and dirt without loosening the stone chippings or stripping the surface.
Brick & Block Paving
We clean the blocks, clear out weeds and moss from the joints, then re-sand so the paving locks back together and stays tidy for longer.
Cobblelock & Cobblestone
Cobblelock is common on Irish homes and gathers moss between every stone. Our rotary cleaners clean the whole area evenly with no streaks.
Imprinted Concrete
Pattern-imprinted concrete can be cleaned and, where the sealer has worn, prepared for resealing to restore its colour and shine.
Gravel Edges & Kerbs
We finish the job properly by cleaning kerbs, edging, steps and boundary walls so the whole entrance looks fresh.
How it works
Our Driveway Cleaning Process
Assess the Surface
We check the material, its condition and any problem areas such as oil stains, weeds or loose blocks before we start.
Pre-treat Problem Areas
Oil stains, rust marks and heavy algae are pre-treated so they lift more easily and completely during the wash.
Power Wash & Rinse
A rotary surface cleaner gives an even, streak-free clean, followed by a full rinse of the driveway, paths and drains.
Treat & Re-sand
We apply a biocide to slow regrowth and, for block paving, re-sand the joints to lock the blocks and keep weeds out.

FAQs
Driveway Cleaning FAQs
How often should I have my driveway cleaned?
For most Irish homes, once every 12 to 18 months keeps a driveway looking well. North-facing or shaded driveways under trees may need it more often because moss and algae grow faster in damp conditions.
Will power washing damage my tarmac driveway?
Not when it is done correctly. We use lower, controlled pressure on tarmac and a rotary surface cleaner so the surface is cleaned without loosening the stone chippings.
Can you remove oil stains?
Yes. We pre-treat oil and diesel stains with a degreaser before washing. Fresh stains usually come out completely, and older stains are greatly reduced.
Do you re-sand block paving?
Yes. After cleaning block paving or cobblelock we can brush in kiln-dried sand to refill the joints. This helps lock the blocks in place and makes it harder for weeds to take hold.
Do I need to be at home?
No. As long as we have access to the driveway and an outside tap, we can carry out the work while you are out. We will let you know once the job is finished.
How long does it take?
An average driveway takes between half a day and a full day, depending on its size, the surface and how much build-up there is.
