Driveway & Patio Cleaning

Pressure washing for driveways, patios, paths and steps, removing dirt, moss, algae and weeds from block paving, slabs, concrete and stone.

About driveway and patio cleaning

Driveways and patios collect dirt, moss, algae and weeds over time, especially in shady spots and after a wet winter. As well as looking tired, green growth makes paving slippery underfoot, which matters on paths and steps.

Clear Drainage cleans block paving, paving slabs, concrete and natural stone with high-pressure water equipment, adjusting the pressure and approach to suit the surface so it gets clean without unnecessary damage.

Because we are a drainage company, we keep an eye on the drainage too. If a gully or channel drain on your driveway or patio is blocked or slow, we can clear it at the same visit rather than you needing a second company.

Signs you may need help

  • Green or black patches on paving
  • Moss and weeds growing between blocks or slabs
  • Slippery paths, steps or patio areas
  • Ground-in dirt and tyre marks on the driveway
  • Water pooling on the driveway because a channel drain or gully is blocked

Common causes

  • Shade and damp encouraging moss and algae
  • Leaves and other debris left to break down on the surface
  • Weed seeds settling in the joints
  • Vehicle traffic and general grime

What our approach means for you

  • Moss, algae and ground-in dirt lifted from the surface.
  • Safer, less slippery paths, steps and patios.
  • Pressure and technique suited to the type of paving.
  • Blocked gullies and channel drains can be cleared at the same visit.

Driveway & Patio Cleaning FAQs

Will pressure washing damage my block paving?

Used with care, pressure washing is a standard way to clean block paving. It can wash out some of the sand in the joints, which may need topping up afterwards. We will talk this through with you before we start.

Can you remove oil stains from a driveway?

Pressure washing lifts a lot of surface staining, but oil that has soaked into porous paving or concrete may lighten rather than disappear completely. We will tell you what to expect once we have seen it.

Do you clean patios and paths as well as driveways?

Yes. We clean driveways, patios, paths, steps and other hard outdoor surfaces.

How much does driveway or patio cleaning cost?

It depends on the size of the area, the type of surface and how dirty it is. Send us a few details and we will give you a price before any work is booked.
