Driveway Cleaning in Edgbaston

Driveways are pressure washed and then put back properly, rather than simply left wet. We lift moss, weed growth, algae and years of ingrained dirt from block paving, tarmac, concrete, imprinted concrete and gravel edges, work the joints and borders by hand where the machine cannot reach, and re-sand block paving with kiln-dried sand so the blocks lock together again. Sealing is optional, and we will talk you through whether your particular surface is a sensible candidate for it.

Drives here tend to be large. In-and-out carriage sweeps run across the frontages of the older houses, part gravel and part block, while the gated infill developments off roads like Church Road and Somerset Road are laid in wide block paving with shared turning areas. A fair amount of the tarmac went down decades ago and has had nothing done to it since. What causes the damage is standing damp: high boundary walls and thick hedging keep whole strips of these drives out of the sun, so moss takes hold in the joints, the gravel edge greens over, and the shaded side stays slippery through winter long after the open half has dried out.

Before anything starts we agree where the run-off is going and cover what needs covering, then wash in sections so you can watch the difference come up. Every couple of years suits most drives, sooner on one that never really dries out, and late spring is the easiest time to get booked in. Re-sanding is included on block paving as standard. On the shared drives and courtyards behind gated entrances we are happy to quote the whole surface at once rather than piecemeal. Photos and rough measurements help us come back accurately.
