Driveway Cleaning in Birmingham

We clean and restore driveways throughout Birmingham using even, overlapping passes rather than a swinging lance, which is what gives a uniform finish instead of stripes across the surface. Block paving, tarmac, concrete, imprinted concrete and gravel edges are all handled, with weeds and moss pulled out of the joints before any washing starts. Block paving is re-sanded afterwards with kiln-dried sand so the blocks lock together properly again, and we can seal the surface on request to slow the moss returning.

Front gardens across Birmingham have been turned into parking for decades and the results vary enormously. The Victorian terraces of Stirchley, Cotteridge and Erdington often have one block-paved bay squeezed in behind a dropped kerb, where the joints silt up and weeds take hold inside two summers. On the older suburban roads two drives frequently run side by side between paired houses, so a stripe left on one half shows against the other for years. The cul-de-sac estates built through the 1990s and 2000s at Kings Norton and around Longbridge are almost all block paving, and where the ground climbs towards the Lickey Hills at Rubery and Rednal the lower half of a sloping drive stays wet after rain and greens over long before the top does.

We begin by lifting the weeds and clearing the joints, then wash in overlapping passes so the tone evens out across the whole drive, brush in fresh kiln-dried sand where the surface is block paved, and check the edge restraints as we go. Oil marks and tyre scuffing are treated separately where they can be shifted. Two to three years is the usual gap for a Birmingham drive, sooner under heavy tree cover, and sealing is best kept for a dry spell. Send the rough dimensions and the surface type and we will put a price together.
