Driveway Cleaning in Bournville

Driveways are cleaned with pressure matched to the surface rather than blasted at one setting. Block paving, imprinted concrete, plain concrete, tarmac and the gravel edges that go with them all take a different approach. Weed and moss growth comes out of the joints, the surface is washed down evenly so you are not left with striping, block paving joints are refilled with kiln-dried sand to lock the blocks back together, and a sealer can go on afterwards if you want one.

Bournville produces two quite different driveway jobs. The original village roads were laid out before private cars, so what many houses have is a short strip of tarmac or concrete cut in beside the front garden, shaded by a hedge and green with algae by February. Then there are the later estate developments and the post-war and 1990s infill around Hay Green Lane and Weoley Hill, where full block-paved drives are the norm. Those are the ones that lose the sand out of their joints, spread at the open edge and start to dip where the car turns in.

We arrive with our own water and power where there is nowhere to plug in, sheet up the borders and the doorway, clean through in sections and sweep down afterwards. Two or three years is about right for most drives here, and March to June is the best window, because the growth that builds up under the village hedges comes back quickly once the weather warms. Re-sanding is included on block paving and sealing is priced separately if you want it. Send a photo and rough measurements and we will quote from that.
