Driveway Cleaning in Rednal

Driveway cleaning in Rednal covers block paving, tarmac, concrete, imprinted concrete and the gravel edges that so often go with them. We lift moss, weed and ingrained dirt with controlled pressure and a rotary head, which cleans evenly rather than leaving the striped wand marks a domestic washer gives you. Block paving is then re-sanded through the joints with kiln-dried sand to lock the blocks and slow the weeds down, and we can seal the surface afterwards if you want the colour holding longer.

Gradient is the local complication. Drives around Rednal usually fall away towards the road as the ground drops off the hill, so rain carries silt downhill and packs it along the kerb line and into the bottom joints. Many were widened over the old front garden as households went to two cars, which leaves a patch of newer block paving butted up against original concrete or tarmac that weathers at a different rate. Whatever the surface, the strip running along a hedge or a boundary wall furs up with moss first. We control the wash so slurry is collected rather than sent down the pavement, and we take care where a drive runs straight down to a dropped kerb on a busy stretch.

Allow most of a day for an average double drive, longer if the joints are badly weeded or the surface has not been touched in years. We need access to a tap and somewhere sensible to stand the van, and cars are best moved off beforehand. Late spring through to early autumn gives the best drying conditions, and sealing in particular needs a dry spell. Most drives want doing every couple of years, sooner under trees. Send us the rough size and the surface and we will price it.
