Limitations & Specialist Requests

• We do not undertake structural repairs, levelling or relaying of driveways. For replacements, see our soft landscaping and we can advise suitable partners.
• Very deep oil contamination may not be fully removable; we will set realistic expectations after a site assessment.
• Protective sealing is not included as standard. If you want sealing, we can arrange a specialist after we confirm the surface is suitable and fully dry.
• Fragile or failing surfaces (e.g., loose setts, crumbling tarmac) may require reduced pressure or partial cleaning, or we may recommend remedial works before cleaning.
• Water and power access: Where water or power cannot be provided, please mention this at enquiry—alternate setups may affect the quote.
• Working at height is not required for driveway cleaning; however, very steep ramps or underground car parks may need a bespoke risk assessment.

How It Works

1. Enquiry

   • Send a few photos and the approximate size. Tell us the surface type (block paving, resin, tarmac, concrete), access details, and any key concerns like oil or rust spots. Start via Get A Quote or Contact.

2. Assessment and Quote

   • We provide a clear estimate based on surface area, condition, access and any extras like re-sanding. For larger commercial sites in Palace Gates, we can visit to measure and test a small patch.

3. Booking and Preparation

   • We agree a convenient slot across N22. You’ll receive simple prep guidance—move vehicles, pots and small planters where possible, and let neighbours know if shared access is affected.

4. Professional Surface Cleaning

   • We pre-treat stains and organic growth, then use rotary flat-surface cleaners to achieve an even finish, followed by detail rinsing around edges and drains. For block paving, we schedule time for re-sanding once the surface is dry.

5. Re-Sanding (Block Paving)

   • Kiln-dried sand is swept into joints to re-stabilise the blocks. This reduces movement, helps deter weed growth, and supports load-bearing performance.

6. Final Check and Care Tips

   • We walk you through the results, share before and after driveway cleaning photos if requested, and offer maintenance advice and optional follow-up reminders.

Pricing Guide

Driveway cleaning price per sqm depends on surface material, condition, access, and whether re-sanding or stain treatments are required. Factors that impact cost include:

• Size of the area and complexity (edges, channels, steps, slopes)
• Surface type and sensitivity (resin vs. tarmac vs. concrete vs. block paving)
• Degree of soiling: moss, lichen, black spot, oil staining
• Access for machinery and hose runs; on-street or off-street parking in Palace Gates
• Water/power availability and any out-of-hours requirements
• Frequency: one-off cleans versus scheduled maintenance

Local Service In Palace Gates

We regularly clean block paving and resin driveways across Palace Gates, from terraced fronts with tight access to larger forecourts at mixed-use sites. Common local considerations include:

• Parking and permits: If parking is limited, we plan hose runs and equipment staging to minimise disruption.
• Steps and narrow side access: We use compact equipment when needed and protect adjoining surfaces.
• Drainage: We clear debris from channels and grates and avoid pushing silt into surface water drains.
• Shared driveways: We can coordinate with neighbours so both sides are cleaned together where appropriate.
• Appointments across N22 postcodes: We operate weekdays and can arrange timed windows during quieter periods.
• Documentation: For commercial blocks or managed estates in N22, we can provide RAMS on request.

Quality, Safety & Compliance

• Trained Operatives: Teams are trained in pressure washing techniques, chemical handling and surface identification to prevent damage.
• Professional Equipment: Rotary flat-surface cleaners, variable-pressure systems and appropriate detergents for targeted stain treatments.
• Responsible Methods: We aim to keep run-off controlled and sweep up dislodged debris and sand. We avoid harsh acids on sensitive stone or resin.
• Insured Service: Public liability cover in place; documentation available—see Insurance.
• Care For Your Property: We protect nearby planting beds and rinse down adjacent areas to remove spray.
• Sustainability: Where feasible, we use biodegradable detergents and water-efficient methods, and we minimise chemical use by prioritising mechanical cleaning first.

FAQs

• What surfaces do you clean?
  We clean block paving, resin-bound/resin-bonded, tarmac and concrete driveways, plus adjoining paths and steps.

• Can you remove oil stains from driveways?
  Yes. We treat fresh and older spills with appropriate degreasers and controlled heat. Some deep, long-standing stains may lighten rather than vanish, but we’ll advise after testing a patch.

• Do you re sand and stabilise block paving?
  Yes. After cleaning and drying, we brush kiln-dried sand into joints to re-sand and stabilise block paving. This is standard on block paving jobs unless you request otherwise.

• Will high pressure damage my driveway?
  We adjust pressure, flow and nozzle type to suit each surface. For resin and older tarmac, we often use lower pressure and specialist attachments to protect the surface.

• Do I need to prepare anything before you arrive?
  Please move vehicles, pots and loose items from the driveway. Flag any drainage issues and let us know about delicate areas we should avoid.

• How long does it take to dry before re-sanding or use?
  Drying times vary with weather and surface type. Block paving usually needs to be visibly dry before re-sanding. We’ll confirm timings on the day.

• Can you apply a sealant?
  Sealing is not included as standard. If your surface is suitable and fully dry, we can recommend a specialist partner to apply an appropriate sealant.

• Do you provide before and after photos?
  Yes—on request, we can share before and after driveway cleaning photos so you can review the results or report back to stakeholders.
