Driveway and patio cleaning: what to expect
If your outdoor surfaces have gone dark, patchy or slippery, jet washing can make a big difference. Driveway and patio cleaning is all about lifting the layer of grime, algae and ground-in dirt that builds up over time, especially in shaded areas and along edges.
A typical clean is done in sections so the finish looks even. We focus on the spots that usually let the space down most (joints, corners and high-traffic routes), then rinse down so you’re not left with a film of loosened dirt afterwards.
Every surface is different, so results can vary. Most jobs come up noticeably brighter and safer underfoot, but deep staining and worn or damaged paving can limit how far the appearance can be improved.
Access & prep (quick checklist)
If you can, clear smaller items like toys, door mats and lightweight planters before we arrive. If you’ve got lots of patio furniture, heavier pots, or awkward items, mention it when you enquire so we can plan around it.
It also helps to flag anything that could affect access: side gates, steps, tight parking, or narrow paths, and whether there’s an outdoor tap nearby. A quick heads-up avoids delays on the day.
