Not all outdoor surfaces can be treated the same way. Using improper pressure or harsh chemicals can erode jointing mortar, strip tarmac binders, or scar natural stone. Daniel and the team match the exact cleaning pressure and bio-treatment to your specific surface type:
Cobblelock Driveways (Deep Clean & Re-Sanding): We blast away deep-rooted weeds, moss, and dirt built up between pavers. Once dry, we brush fresh kiln-dried jointing sand into the gaps to lock your block paving firmly back in place and prevent structural shifting.
Tarmacadam Restoration: Tarmac requires high water flow rather than destructive high pressure. We safely wash away surface moss, dirt, and lichen without stripping away the bitumen binder, offering black tarmac restoring treatments to bring back that rich, factory-fresh color.
Indian Sandstone & Natural Stone Patios: Natural stone easily traps dark organic growth and stubborn "black spot" lichen. We use specialized low-pressure chemical softwash treatments that break down deep organic stains, restoring the vibrant natural color of your stone without pitting or scarring.
Concrete & Brick Paving: We remove heavy motor oil stains, ground-in tyre marks, and green algae, leaving concrete paths, steps, and driveways clean, bright, and slip-free.
We clean a variety of driveway and patio surfaces, including concrete, tarmacadam, brick, pavers and stone.
No, when done by a professional with the right equipment and techniques, pressure washing is safe for most driveway and patio surfaces. We will adjust the pressure based on the specific material to ensure a thorough clean without causing harm.
You can also ask us about sealing your driveway or patio, which helps protect it from stains and weather damage for a longer lifespan.
Light rain might not be a problem, but for safety and best cleaning results, we prefer to avoid cleaning during heavy rain or if the surface is very wet. We can reschedule your appointment for a drier day.
Site Inspection & Clear-Down: We assess the surface material, identify stubborn oil stains or black lichen, and move outdoor furniture, pots, and vehicles out of the work area.
Commercial Rotary Deep Wash: We use commercial-grade rotary surface cleaners to evenly strip away dirt, moss, grime, and weeds without leaving patchy pressure marks.
Kiln-Dried Re-Sanding & Biocide Treatment (Cobblelock & Patios): For block paving, we allow the area to dry before brushing fine kiln-dried sand into the joints. We then apply an anti-fungal biocide treatment that kills remaining micro-spores at the root level.
Optional Acrylic Sealing & Window Washdown: We can apply a protective acrylic sealer to lock in joint sand and repel oil stains. Before departing, we perform a thorough ground rinse and clean all surrounding ground-floor windows.
Over time, Ireland’s damp weather causes moss, algae, and weeds to thrive in the joints and pores of your outdoor surfaces. Leaving your driveway or patio unmaintained creates serious problems beyond poor curb appeal.
Slippery green algae film turns outdoor steps, walkways, and patios into dangerous hazards when wet, placing your family and visitors at risk of slips and falls.
Furthermore, aggressive weed roots and expanding moss push paving blocks apart, cracking joint mortar and allowing rainwater to pool underneath your driveway's foundation.
Professional cleaning and joint re-sanding stop structural joint erosion, preventing costly repaving work and adding immediate value to your property.
