Driveway Cleaning
Your driveway is the first thing anyone sees — visitors, neighbours, even future buyers. Years of Scottish weather, moss, algae, oil drips and ground-in dirt take the shine off block paving, tarmac, concrete and imprinted concrete very quickly. We use commercial rotary surface cleaners, targeted chemistry and re-sanding to bring driveways back to a clean, safe, uniform finish — without the tell-tale stripes of a domestic jet wash.

FAQ
Driveway Cleaning — common questions
Will pressure washing damage my block paving?+
Not when it's done properly. We adjust PSI, nozzle and technique to suit the surface, use a rotary head rather than a lance for the main wash, and re-sand joints afterwards so the blocks lock back together.
Do you clean imprinted / pattern imprinted concrete?+
Yes. Imprinted concrete needs a lower pressure and a sealer reapplied at the end — we can strip, clean and reseal to bring the colour back.
Can you remove oil, diesel and tyre marks?+
In most cases yes. We spot-treat with a degreaser before the main wash. Very old, deeply soaked stains can leave a shadow — we'll be honest at the quote stage.
How long does a driveway take?+
A typical two-car driveway takes half a day. Larger, heavily soiled, or drives that need sealing may run into a full day, which we'll confirm in the quote.
Do I need to be home?+
No — we just need access to the driveway and an outside tap. We'll send before/after photos when we're done.
