Is your driveway looking tired and stained?


First impressions count. Your driveway is one of the first things visitors notice when they arrive at your home. Over time, driveways accumulate moss, algae, oil stains, and general dirt, making them appear dull and neglected, regardless of how tidy your garden is.


Last week, I cleaned a block-paved driveway in Bishops Cleeve that hadn’t been washed in years. The owners couldn’t believe the difference. What was once green with moss and black with grime came up fresh and bright again, restoring the welcoming look of their front garden.

Why clean your driveway professionally?


While it’s tempting to hire a jet washer yourself, there are some key reasons to call in a professional:


  • Power and Technique. Professional pressure washers are more powerful than domestic models, and I use the correct nozzles and pressure settings to prevent damage to your paving.

  • Moss and Algae Removal. Not only is moss unsightly, but it can also make driveways slippery. Professional cleaning removes it thoroughly and can include treatments to slow regrowth. See our full Pressure Washing services here.

  • Oil and Stain Treatments. Driveways often collect oil leaks and stubborn stains that don’t budge with standard cleaning. Specialist products can help lift them out.

  • Time-Saving. A professional clean usually takes just a few hours, saving you a weekend of effort with better results.


What types of driveways can be cleaned?


In Bishops Cleeve and the surrounding villages, I regularly clean:


  • Block paving driveways

  • Concrete driveways

  • Tarmac driveways (with lower pressure settings to avoid damage)

  • Resin-bound driveways


If you’re unsure about your driveway surface, just ask – I’ll always advise on the safest cleaning method.


The benefits of a clean driveway


  • Improved kerb appeal. A freshly cleaned driveway makes your entire property look well-maintained.

  • Increased safety. Removing moss and algae reduces slip hazards, especially in wet weather.

  • Longer-lasting surfaces. Regular cleaning helps prevent moss and algae roots from damaging your paving over time.

When is the best time for driveway cleaning?


Driveway cleaning can be done any time of year, but spring and early summer are ideal for getting your home looking its best. Autumn cleans can remove algae and prepare your driveway for the wetter, colder months ahead.
