What is Driveway Cleaning?

Driveway cleaning is the professional removal of dirt, moss, algae, weeds, oil stains and surface contamination using specialist pressure cleaning equipment and treatments. Done properly, it not only improves kerb appeal but also protects the surface from long-term deterioration.

In many cases, restoring your existing driveway through cleaning and sealing is far more cost-effective than installing a new one. Whether you need a light spruce-up for spring or a full refurbishment, we offer honest advice tailored to your surface type and goals.

Driveway cleaning benefits

• Removes moss, algae, weeds and oil stains

• Improves safety by reducing slippery surfaces

• Enhances kerb appeal and property value

• Extends the lifespan of your driveway

Driveway Cleaning, Repairs & Restoration

At Devon Surface Care, we offer flexible options depending on the condition of your driveway:

• Full Refurbishment – Clean, repair and seal

• Clean Only – A cost-effective refresh

• Seal Only – Protection for newly installed driveways

A full refurbishment is often recommended for maximum impact and long-term protection.

Block Paver Cleaning

Block paving is particularly prone to weed growth and joint erosion. Our process begins with a pre-treatment to kill weeds and prevent regrowth. We then carry out precision pressure cleaning using professional equipment, protecting sensitive edges with metal boards where necessary.

After cleaning, we:

• Re-sand and consolidate joints

• Carry out minor repairs where required

• Apply two coats of high-quality block paving sealer

Sealing strengthens the surface, enhances colour and inhibits future weed growth.

Tarmac Cleaning

Tarmac driveways can fade, crack and develop moss over time. We clean the surface thoroughly using controlled pressure washing and apply fungicidal treatment to prevent regrowth.

Where required, we repair minor cracks and holes before applying two coats of Tarmac Restorer, which:

• Revives faded colour

• Protects against weather damage

• Extends the life of the surface

Resin-Bond Cleaning

Resin-bound and resin-bond driveways require careful, controlled cleaning to avoid damaging the surface. We use the correct pressure and techniques to remove algae, grime and staining while preserving the integrity of the finish.

Sealing may be recommended to:

• Protect against oil penetration

• Reduce organic growth

• Maintain a clean, durable appearance

Imprinted Concrete Cleaning

Imprinted concrete requires specialist care to maintain colour and pattern definition. After a deep clean, we apply two coats of concrete sealant with colour rejuvenation to restore vibrancy. Expansion joints are re-filled with mastic where necessary, and an anti-slip additive can be included for added safety.

Benefits include:

• Restored colour and finish

• Surface protection against oil and stains

• Improved slip resistance (optional additive)

Driveway Cleaning Process

Every project begins with an assessment to determine the best approach for your driveway surface. Our goal is always to provide the right solution — not a one-size-fits-all service.

Step 1 – Preparation

We apply a pre-spray treatment to kill weeds and inhibit regrowth.

Step 2 – Pressure Cleaning

Using high-tech pressure washing equipment, we deliver a thorough and precision clean across all visible surfaces. Protective boards shield delicate edges such as flower beds and gravel.

Step 3 – Fungicidal Treatment

A specialist fungicidal foam is applied to help prevent regrowth of organic matter living within the surface.

Step 4 – Repairs

Minor repairs are completed, including re-sanding block paving joints and addressing cracks in tarmac or concrete.

Step 5 – Sealing (Recommended)

We apply premium sealants suited to your surface type. Options include gloss, satin, matt and eco-friendly finishes. Sealing creates a protective barrier that:

• Repels oil and staining

• Inhibits moss, algae and weed growth

• Strengthens and protects the surface

• Keeps your driveway looking cleaner for longer

•
