Driveway Cleaning in Northfield

Driveways in Northfield reach us green, black or simply tired. We pressure wash block paving, tarmac, concrete and imprinted concrete, taking off moss, algae and the ground-in film that makes a drive look older than it is. Weeds come out of the joints rather than being blasted off at the top, edges and gravel margins are tidied back, and block paving is re-sanded with kiln-dried sand so the blocks lock together again. Sealing is optional, and we will tell you honestly whether your surface will benefit from it.

Northfield is not flat. The ground climbs west out of the brook valleys, so a lot of drives here fall towards the road and shed water and grit straight onto the kerb. The concrete and tarmac laid on the big estates in the 1930s has had ninety years of weather on it and gone porous, which is why moss roots into the surface rather than sitting on top of it. The 1980s and 1990s infill, and the newer housing down at Longbridge, is almost all block paving, and block is what loses its joint sand first and starts sprouting weeds along the pattern lines.

We work the drive in sections so you can see the difference as it goes, and we clear the slurry and washings away rather than leaving them to dry on your path. The surface is usable the same day, although sealing needs dry weather and a curing window, so we plan that around the forecast. Late spring through to early autumn is the best run for this work.
