Question 1

What types of driveway do you clean?

Accepted Answer

We clean block paving, concrete, pattern imprinted concrete, tarmac and gravel driveways. Each surface needs a different approach, so we match the method to the material every time. Whatever your driveway is made of, we can assess it and advise the best way to clean it.

Question 2

Do you remove weeds from driveways before cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, de-weeding is part of the driveway cleaning process. We clear weeds and moss from the joints and surface before washing so the finished result is clean throughout. On block paving, re-sanding the joints afterwards helps slow how quickly weeds return.

Question 3

Can you clean imprinted concrete without damaging the pattern?

Accepted Answer

Yes, pattern imprinted concrete is cleaned carefully to protect both the pattern and its sealed coating. We control the pressure and technique so the surface is refreshed without stripping or harming it. Imprinted drives can also be resealed afterwards to restore colour and protection.

Question 4

How do you clean a gravel driveway?

Accepted Answer

Gravel driveways are handled differently to solid surfaces, since high pressure would simply scatter the stones. We focus on removing weeds, leaves and debris and tidying the surface rather than blasting it. We will discuss the best realistic outcome for your gravel when we assess it.

Question 5

Why does block paving need re-sanding after cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Cleaning washes out the old kiln dried sand from between the blocks, which needs replacing to keep the paving stable. We brush fresh sand into the joints once the surface is clean and dry. This locks the blocks together and helps resist weeds and movement.

Question 6

Will driveway cleaning remove oil stains from where I park?

Accepted Answer

Driveway cleaning lifts general dirt, moss and grime well, and can reduce oil staining, though deeply soaked in oil may only lighten. For heavy oil and grease, heated washing gives a better result. We will look at the stains and advise what to realistically expect.

Question 7

How long does it take to clean a driveway?

Accepted Answer

Most driveways are cleaned within a few hours to a day, depending on the size, the surface and how much weed and moss removal is needed. Re-sanding block paving adds a little time. We confirm a realistic timescale with your free quote.

Question 8

Should I move my car before driveway cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please move all vehicles off the driveway before we arrive so we can clean the whole surface evenly. Parking elsewhere for the duration of the work gives us full, safe access. If parking is tricky, let us know and we can plan around it.

Question 9

How long will my driveway stay clean after cleaning?

Accepted Answer

A cleaned driveway generally looks fresh for one to two years, with shaded and damp areas greening up a little sooner. Re-sanding and a moss treatment help it stay cleaner for longer. Regular sweeping and clearing leaves also slows the build up of dirt.

Question 10

How much does driveway cleaning cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the size of the driveway, the surface type and how much weed, moss and staining there is to remove. A small concrete drive differs greatly from a large block paved one needing re-sanding. We assess it and give you a free, clear quote.

Accepted Answer

Question 12

Can you seal my driveway after cleaning it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Driveway sealing is available as an optional add on once your drive has been cleaned. A quality sealer protects the surface from weather, oil and staining, deepens the colour and slows the return of weeds and moss, so the clean lasts far longer. Sirian will advise whether your surface is a good candidate and quote the add on separately, with no obligation.
