Our Driveway Cleaning Process

It’s important to understand which cleaning technique is best suited to your driveway to ensure we achieve the best result, whilst causing no damage. Read on to find out more about our tried and tested cleaning process.  

Driveway Inspection

Inspection & Preparation

We start by inspecting the material of your driveway to determine the most appropriate method and equipment. We also identify any areas that require more thorough cleaning, including stubborn stains and buildup of materials such as cement.

Driveway Cleaning - Step 2 Debris Removal

Clearing Visible Debris

We sweep and collect any visible debris, including lumps of dirt and stones, to prevent them from being caught and thrown by the cleaning equipment into windows, plant pots and cars.

Driveway Washing

Thorough Washing & Cleaning

Using the most appropriate cleaning method identified during our initial inspection, we take the time to ensure all stains, moss, and mould are removed.

Driveway Sanding & Cleanup

Sand Brushing

Kiln-dried sand is brushed gently into the gaps, which fills them more tightly and helps prevent weeds from regrowing. We won’t apply the sand until the driveway is dry to prevent clumping. 

Driveway Surface Treatment

Surface Treatment

Finally, we apply a surface treatment, then follow with a full rinse. This treatment helps to prevent the buildup from recurring in your newly restored driveway. We finish by clearing any waste from your property and disposing of it, leaving your property clean and tidy.

Visible & Unsightly Weeds

Moss and weeds can accumulate on your driveway, creating an unsightly, slippery surface. We use pressure washing to remove weeds from your driveway.

Lichen, Black Spots & Algae

Effective removal of lichen, black spots and algae requires specialised treatment. Our eco-friendly products are powerful enough to eliminate and help stop them from reappearing.

General Staining

Problematic stains, including oil, fuel, and rust, can make your driveway look less than its best and create a slippery surface. Our comprehensive cleaning process removes all signs of staining and tyre marks.

DIY vs Professional Driveway Cleaning

It can be tempting to attempt to tackle driveway cleaning yourself, but hiring a professional like Prestige has many advantages. Pressure washing at the wrong setting can etch concrete and dislodge pointing between blocks, causing surface damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your exterior clean.

Do you require access to my electricity or water supply?

We don’t require electricity for any of our cleaning equipment as our vans are fitted with generators. Whilst it is easier if you can provide access to your water supply, such as an outside tap, if this isn’t possible we do have a hydrant licence so cleaning is always possible.  

We take care to select the safest and most appropriate cleaning equipment for your driveway, ensuring it’s left damage-free after a clean. Surface cleaners are usually our first approach, as they lift dirt but don’t penetrate the surface, and rotary cleaners are also efficient and safe. Our team have years of experience, and we’re proud of our reputation for providing reliable, thorough driveway cleaning services.

In the UK, we see variable weather conditions, from very heavy rainfall to sun, which can cause weeds and moss to grow and spread across your driveway more quickly. Areas prone to heavy rainfall can see more frequent moss buildup, driveways with overhanging trees can be susceptible to sap dropping, and classic car owners may find they have problems with oil dripping. If your property has any of these issues, it should be cleaned more frequently to prevent harsh staining and excessive buildup of leaves and waste.

 

In terms of maintenance, block paving generally requires more upkeep than concrete or resin, so more regular cleaning should be scheduled.

The time it takes to clean your driveway depends on the area’s size and the extent of the cleaning job, including the level of staining and buildup. We will clean most driveways in around 2-5 hours.
