    Pressure Washing & Surface Cleaning

    Rotary-head cleaning that lifts years of algae, lichen and traffic film without scarring the surface — finished with a biocide treatment so it does not turn green again in eight weeks.

    Driveways & Patios

    Block paving, flags, concrete, tarmac and natural stone cleaned and re-sanded.

    Commercial Hard Standing

    Car parks, service yards, loading bays and pedestrian precincts, out of hours if needed.

    Cladding & Render

    Soft washing of render, cladding and signage at low pressure to avoid damage.

    Algae & Moss Treatment

    Post-clean biocide that keeps regrowth away for months rather than weeks.

    Anti-Slip Restoration

    Deep cleaning of slippery decking, steps and ramps to reduce trip and slip claims.

    Waste Water Control

    Silt and run-off managed so nothing contaminated enters the surface water drain.

    How the works run

    1. 1Survey & test patchWe check the substrate, agree the finish and run a small test area first.
    2. 2ProtectDrains covered or bunded, planting and vehicles sheeted, signage placed.
    3. 3CleanRotary flat-surface cleaning followed by lance detailing on edges and joints.
    4. 4TreatBiocide applied to kill remaining algae and lichen spores at root level.
    5. 5FinishKiln-dried sand re-brushed into block paving, site rinsed and left clean.

    Why the green comes straight back

    Pressure alone removes the visible growth but leaves algae and lichen spores in the pores of the surface, which is why an untreated driveway often looks green again within two months. A post-clean biocide kills what the water missed and typically triples the time before the next clean is needed.

    What it costs

    Domestic driveways generally run £150–£400 depending on size, with re-sanding included. Patios usually fall between £120 and £300. Commercial hard standing is priced per square metre after survey, with night and weekend work quoted separately.

    Pressure Washing & Surface Cleaning — common questions

    Not when it is done properly. We use rotary flat-surface heads at controlled pressure, then replace the kiln-dried sand that washing inevitably removes from the joints.

    A typical domestic driveway is cleaned, treated and re-sanded in half a day.

    Yes, using soft washing at low pressure with a suitable detergent — high pressure would drive water behind the render.

    We carry bowsers and generators for commercial sites. On domestic jobs we normally use an outside tap, with your permission.

    Yes, sealing can be added once the surface is fully dry, usually a day or two after cleaning.

    Questions above cover pressure washing & surface cleaning. For how we identify species, price surveys, keep treatments safe and what the 10-year guarantee covers, read our approach to weed control or the full frequently asked questions.
