Block paving driveways

The Service
Why Hire-Shop Pressure Washers Don't Cut It
A B&Q pressure washer on a 5-year-old block-paved drive does about 30% of the job and damages 100% of the jointing. The black tide line stays, the green corners stay, and the kiln-dried sand is blasted out of every joint — so by next spring the whole drive is sprouting weeds and moss is back through the gaps.
We run commercial hot-water rotary kit (200 bar, 21L/min, heat to 80°C) with chemical pre-treatment. The heat and dwell time do the work, so we don't have to crank the pressure and damage the surface. After cleaning, we re-sand the joints — properly — so the surface doesn't degrade.
It's the right call for anyone with a tired driveway, a green patio, slippery decking or a path you've stopped using because of moss. Most jobs are done in a single day and the price is fixed in writing.
Why It Matters
What Happens If You Leave It
Driveways and patios degrade slowly — then suddenly. Here's the sequence we see most often.
Slip-fall liability
Algae and moss on a path or patio is genuinely dangerous — and if a visitor slips, your home insurance can argue you knew about the hazard. A £180 clean is cheaper than an excess claim.
Joints wash out, weeds take over
Once moss has rooted in jointing sand, every rain washes more out. Within 3-4 years the whole surface is unstable and slabs start to rock.
Permanent staining on porous slabs
Sandstone, limestone and concrete left dirty for years develop black biofilm that bonds to the stone. Sometimes recoverable, sometimes not.
Doubles the cost to relay vs clean
A 50m² patio cleaned and re-sanded for £400 vs a 50m² patio lifted and re-laid for £4,000 when the joints have failed. Maintain it or replace it — your choice.

In Detail
Pressure Washing — Surfaces, Systems & Sealing
Different surfaces need different approaches. Here's what we do and use across the most common Ayrshire jobs.
Indian sandstone & limestone patios
Lower pressure (100-130 bar), hot water 80°C, surface-cleaner attachment to avoid banding. Optional impregnating sealer (Lithofin MN Stain-Stop) extends life and stops re-staining for 3-4 years.
Porcelain patios
Light pressure, hot water and pH-neutral cleaner. Porcelain is virtually maintenance-free but jointing compound between tiles can stain — we deep-clean and re-pigment if needed.
Decking
Wood-safe rotary head, low pressure (80-100 bar), oxygen-bleach-based timber cleaner. Re-oiling or re-staining quoted as an add-on for the same visit if you want a complete refresh.
Tarmac drives
Lower pressure, surface cleaner only — never close-up lance work which damages the binder. Optional tarmac-restore product to reblack faded surfaces.
Render walls & soffits
Soft-wash system (low pressure, biocidal cleaner) — never rotary on render. Removes green algae without damaging the finish or pushing water behind the render.
Roofs & gutters
Soft-wash and gutter-vac systems available — see the dedicated commercial pressure washing page for full roof and gutter work.
Residential vs commercial
Commercial sites (pubs, car parks, holiday parks, warehouses) on quoted programmes — typically 6 or 12 monthly. RAMS provided, out-of-hours work available.
