- SURFACES WE CLEAN
Every Driveway & Patio Surface Type - Covered
Different surfaces need different equipment and cleaning pressures. We always match the method to the material no one-size-fits-all approach.
Block Paving
The most common driveway in Bournemouth. We remove algae, black spot, moss and staining, then re-sand the joints and apply sealant to protect and enhance colour.
Tarmac & Asphalt
Tarmac driveways become green, crumbly and stained with age. We clean and treat tarmac surfaces carefully restoring colour and removing biological growth without damaging the surface.
Resin Bound Surfaces
Resin bound driveways require low-pressure soft washing to avoid surface damage. We clean algae, moss and staining from resin surfaces safely , restoring original colour without loosening the bound aggregate.
Natural Stone Patios
Sandstone, limestone, slate and granite patios need specific pressure and cleaning agents to avoid surface damage. We restore natural stone to its original colour and texture, removing moss, algae and lichen without surface scarring.
Concrete Driveways & Paths
Concrete surfaces respond exceptionally well to professional pressure washing , removing years of green algae, black staining and grease to reveal a bright, clean surface. Pre-treatment dramatically improves results on heavily soiled concrete.
Porcelain & Patio Slabs
Porcelain and large-format patio slabs need careful pressure calibration to avoid joint damage. We clean porcelain, flagging and slab patios to a pristine finish removing biofilm, algae and staining that make them dangerously slippery.

- DRIVEWAY & PATIO SEALING
Should You Seal Your Driveway After Cleaning? Yes - Here's Why
Sealing after cleaning is the step that makes your results last significantly longer. Most people clean their driveway and see it return to the same state within 12-18 months. Sealing changes that.
Prevents Algae & Moss Regrowth
Sealant creates an inhospitable surface for biological growth - significantly delaying the return of algae, green staining and moss that cause the driveway to become dirty and slippery again.
Stops Weed Growth in Joints
Sealant combined with fresh kiln-dried sand fills the block paving joints and prevents weed seeds from germinating - eliminating the most common maintenance problem after block paving cleans.
Protects Against Staining
Sealed surfaces resist oil, fuel and organic staining far more effectively than unsealed paving - making future spills easy to clean off before they penetrate the surface permanently.
Enhances Colour & Appearance
A quality driveway sealant enriches the colour of block paving and natural stone - making the surface look freshly laid and significantly improving overall kerb appeal and property presentation.

200+ Reviews
Verified five-star Google reviews from real Bournemouth homeowners. Read before booking.
"Our block paving was almost completely black with algae after 6 years untouched. They pre-treated it, pressure washed it and then re-sanded and sealed it. It looks exactly like the day it was laid — I genuinely could not believe the difference. Outstanding result and great value."
"Had the driveway, patio and path all done together before putting the house on the market. Estate agent said the kerb appeal had completely transformed. Sold in the first week of viewings. Best money I spent on the property. Highly recommend to any Bournemouth homeowner."
"Natural stone patio restored to a colour I had forgotten it was. No damage, no surface scratching, and the technician clearly knew exactly what pressure to use on the stone. Sealed it too — still looks immaculate 18 months later. Will use them for all future exterior cleaning."
- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Driveway & Patio Cleaning FAQs
How Much Does Driveway Cleaning Cost in Bournemouth?
Driveway cleaning in Bournemouth starts from £100 for a small driveway and £180 for a standard semi-detached driveway. Larger driveways, combined driveway and patio jobs or heavily stained surfaces start from £300+. The final price depends on surface area, surface type and staining severity. We always provide a free written quote before any work begins , the price we quote is the price you pay.
Can You Remove Black Spot from Block Paving?
Yes , black spot lichen is one of the most stubborn stains on block paving but responds well to professional treatment. We apply a specialist black spot treatment as a pre-treatment before pressure washing, which breaks down the lichen at the root. In most cases black spot is significantly reduced or fully removed. Heavily embedded black spot on old paving may require a second treatment , we will advise on this in your free assessment.
Can You Clean a Resin Driveway Without Damaging It?
Yes , but resin bound driveways must not be pressure washed at high pressure as this can loosen the aggregate from the binding resin. We use low-pressure soft washing on all resin surfaces cleaning algae, moss and staining safely and effectively without any surface damage. If you have a resin driveway, always specify this when requesting a quote so we can confirm the correct method before arriving.
Do You Remove Weeds from Between Paving Joints?
Yes , weed removal from between block paving joints is included as part of the cleaning process. Pressure washing removes established weeds and clears the joints. We then offer re-sanding with kiln-dried sand and weed prevention treatment as an add-on after the clean , filling the joints and making it significantly harder for weeds to re-establish. This is available alongside sealing for a complete restoration result.
How Long Does Driveway Cleaning Last?
A professional driveway clean without sealing typically looks its best for 12-24 months before algae and staining return depending on the surface type, local tree cover and whether the driveway is shaded. With professional sealing applied after cleaning, this extends to 3-5 years in most cases. We recommend sealing for all block paving and natural stone driveways in Bournemouth’s damp coastal climate.
Should I Seal My Driveway After Cleaning?
Yes , we recommend sealing for most block paving and natural stone driveways in Bournemouth. Sealing prevents rapid algae and moss regrowth, stops weeds from establishing in the joints, protects against oil and staining, and enhances the colour of the paving. It makes future cleaning easier and significantly extends the time before the next clean is required. We provide a quote for sealing alongside every driveway cleaning quote.
How Long Does Patio and Driveway Cleaning Take?
A standard Bournemouth semi-detached driveway typically takes 2–4 hours including setup and cleanup. Combined driveway and patio jobs usually take a full day. Heavy pre-treatment for very stained surfaces adds additional dwell time. We provide a time estimate in your free quote so you know what to plan for on the day.
Can You Clean a Patio Before or After Turfing?
Yes , we regularly clean patios and hard surfaces before garden renovations, new turf laying and landscaping work in Bournemouth. A clean patio or driveway before renovation work begins prevents algae and staining from being spread or obscured. We can also clean after landscaping is complete, once the surrounding area is settled. Just mention the circumstances when requesting your free quote and we will advise on the best timing.
